ON/STOP SWITCH

The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the engine.

To stop the engine, push and release the engine ON/STOP switch.

PRIMER BULB

The PRIMER BULB removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and fitis them with fuel. This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original form.

CHOKE

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position. After the engine attempts to start, move the choke

Iever to the HALF CHOKE position. Once engine has started, move the choke lever to the OFF CHOKE position.

WARNING: Be sure to read the fuet information in the safety rules before you begin. If you do not understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call 1-800-235-5878.

FUELING ENGINE

_[L WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on unIeaded gasoline.

Before operation, gasotine must be mixed with a good quaIity 2-cycIe air-cooIed engine oil.

We recommend Craftsman brand oit.

Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1

(A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2

ounces of oil with 1 gation of unleaded gasotine).

DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil These oits will cause engine damage.

When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on container.

Once oi_ is added to gasoline, shake container momentafiIy to assure that the fuet is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueting your unit.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol

Mended fuels (caIted gasohol or using ethanol or methanoI) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.

Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine proMems, empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or tonger. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fueI tines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season,

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

See the STORAGE section for additionaI information,

OPERATING POSITION

ALWAYS WEAR:

Cut from your left to your right.

Eye PrOlection

_WARNING: Always wear eye protection.

Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can dcochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause btindness or other serious injury.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less than futI throttle. At Iower speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration.

Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to idte speed when not cutting.

To stop engine:

• Release the throttte trigger.

• Push and release the engine ON/

STOP switch.

CUTTING METHODS

_WARNING: Use minimum speed and do not crowd the _ine when cutting around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc,), which can damage the trimmer head, become entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a serious hazard.

Right

Wrong

• The line witl easily remove grass and weeds from around waits, fences, trees and flower beds, but it also can cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences.

• For trimming or scaIping, use less than full throttle to increase line life and decrease head wear, especially:

• During light duty cutting.

• Near objects around which the line can wrap such as small posts, trees or fence wire.

• For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for a good ctean job,

TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the tine to make contact.

Do not force trimmer tine into work area.

Trimming

MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventiona_ lawn mowers cannot reach, tn the mowing position, keep the line parallel to the ground.

Avoid pressing the head into the ground as this can scaIp the ground and damage the tool.

Mowing

SWEEPING - The fanning action of the rotating line can be used to blow away loose debris from an area. Keep the line parallel to and above the area surface and swing the toot from side to side.

Sweeping

SCALPtNG - The scatping technique removes unwanted vegetation down to the ground.

Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an angIe. Atlow the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.

This technique increases line wear.
