/._-_ Starting Position

NOTE: Make sure approximately

3-4 inches (8-10 cm) of line is ex-

tended from the cutting head before

starting unit. This will allow the line

to advance properly once the unit

starts.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE

NOTE: DO NOT squeeze the throttle

trigger until the engine has started and

runs.

1. Set unit on a flat surface.

2. Slowly press the primer bulb 6

times.

3. Move the start lever to the START

position.

Primer Bulb

Starter Handle

4. Pull starter rope handle sharply

until engine starts and runs.

5. Allow unit to run for 10 seconds,

then fully squeeze the throttle trigger

to disengage the starting system.

STARTING A WARM ENGINE

1. Squeeze and hold the throttle trig-

ger. Keep throttle trigger fully

squeezed until engine runs

smoothly.

2. Pull starter rope sharply while

squeezing throttle trigger until en-

gine runs.

NOTE: Normally, the warm starting

procedure can be used within 5-10

minutes after the unit is turned OFR If

the unit sits for more than 10 minutes

without being run, it will be necessary

to start the unit by following the steps

under STARTING A COLD ENGINE or

following the starting instruction steps

shown on the unit.

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

Flooded engines can be started by

pulling the starter handle repeatedly

while squeezing throttle trigger until

engine starts and runs. This could re-

quire pulling the starter handle many

times, depending on how badly the

unit is flooded.

ALWAYSWEAR:

Longpan__''

Heavy shoes

If the unit still doesn't start, refer to the

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call

1-800-235-5878.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

It is recommended that the engine

not be operated longer than 1 min-

ute at full throttle.

OPERATING POSITION

iEye protection

Cut from your right to your left.

m_,WARNING: Always wear eye

protection. Never lean over the trimmer

head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or

be thrown into eyes and face and

cause blindness or other serious injury.

When operating unit, stand as shown

and check for the following:

• Wear eye protection and heavy

clothing.

• Hold trigger handle with right hand

and assist handle with left hand.

• Keep unit below waist level.

• Cut only from your right to your left to

ensure debris is thrown away from

you. Without bending over, keep line

near and parallel to the ground and

not crowded into material being cut.

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 full throttle. At lower

speeds, there is less engine noise and

vibration. The cutting line will last

longer and will be less likely to "weld"

onto the spool.

Always release the throttle trigger and

allow the engine to return to idle

speed when not cutting.

To stop engine:

• Release the throttle trigger.

• Push and hold the STOP switch in

the STOP position until the engine

stops.

TWIST AND EDGE

The Twist and Edge feature allows for

easy edging of sidewalks, patios,

driveways, etc.

1. Pull the tab toward the engine.

2. Twist the shaft to the edging posi-

tion; release tab.

Tab

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

The cutting head advances line au-

tomatically. Do not tap head on the

ground to advance line. This may

break parts and cause cutting head to

malfunction.

Upon unit start up, the line will advance

automatically to the correct cutting path

length.

Always keep the shield in place when

the tool is being operated.

_&WARNING: Use only 0.080

inch (2 mm) diameter round line.

Other sizes and shapes of line will not

advance properly and will result in im-

proper cutting head function or can

cause serious injury. Do not use other

materials such as wire, string, rope,

etc. Wire can break off during cutting

and become a dangerous missile that

can cause serious injury.

CUTTING METHODS

_,WARNING: Use minimum

speed and do not crowd the line 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.

• The tip of the line does the cutting.

You will achieve the best perform-

ance and minimum line wear by not

crowding the line into the cutting

area. The right and wrong ways are

shown below.

Tip of the Line Line Crowded Into

Does The Cutting Work Area

Right Wrong

• The line will easily remove grass

and weeds from around walls,

fences, trees and flower beds, but it

also can cut the tender bark of trees

or shrubs and scar fences. To help

avoid damage especially to delicate

vegetation or trees with tender bark,

shorten line to 4-5 inches (10-13

cm) and use at less than full throttle.

• For trimming or scalping, 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 clean job.

TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the

trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)

above the ground and at an angle. Al-

low only the tip of the line to make

contact. Do not force trimmer line into

work area.

Trimming

3 inches (8 cm)

above ground

SCALPING - The scalping technique

removes unwanted vegetation down

to the ground. Hold the bottom of the

trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)

above the ground and at an angle. Al-

low the tip of the line to strike the

ground around trees, posts, monu-

ments, etc. This technique increases

line wear.

Scalping

3 inches (8 cm)

above ground

MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for

mowing in places conventional lawn

mowers cannot reach. In the mowing

position, keep the line parallel to the

ground. Avoid pressing the head into

the ground as this can scalp the

ground and damage the tool.

Mowing

SWEEPING - The fanning action of

the rotating line can be used for a

quick and easy clean up. Keep the

line parallel to and above the surfaces

being swept and move the tool from

side to side.

Sweeping .....

EDGING - Adjust trimmer to the edg-

ing position (see TWIST AND EDGE

section). Allow only the tip of the line

to make contact. Do not force trimmer

line into work area.

road engines must be designed, built,

and equipped to meet the State's strin-

gent anti-smog standards. Sears must

warrant the emission control system on

your small off-road engine for the peri-

ods of time listed below provided there

rantable condition exists, Sears will re-

pair your small off-road engine at no

cost to you. Expenses covered under

labor. MANUFACTURER'S WARRAN-

TY COVERAGE: If any emissions re-

lated part on your engine (as listed un-

der Emissions Control Warranty Parts

rials or workmanship of the engine

causes the failure of such an emission

related part, the part will be repaired or

replaced by Sears. OWNER'S WAR-

RANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the

small off-road engine owner, you are

responsible for the performance of the

required maintenance listed in your in-

struction manual. Sears recommends

that you retain all receipts covering

maintenance on your small off-road en-

gine, but Sears cannot deny warranty

solely for the lack of receipts or for your

failure to ensure the performance of all

scheduled maintenance. As the small

off-road engine owner, you should be

aware that Sears may deny you war-

ranty coverage if your small off-road

engine or a part of it has failed due to

abuse, neglect, improper maintenance,

unapproved modifications, or the use of

parts not made or approved by the orig-

inal equipment manufacturer. You are

responsible for presenting your small

off-road engine to a Sears authorized

repair center as soon as a problem ex-

ists. Warranty repairs should be com-

pleted in a reasonable amount of time,

not to exceed 30 days.

nance shall be warranted for the period

of time up to the first scheduled replace-

nance are not covered. ADD-ON OR
