IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasehol or using

ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-

lure which leads to separation and

formation ofacids during storage.

Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-

tem of an engine while in storage.

Toavoid engine problems,empty fuel

system before storage for30 days or

longer.Draingas tank, start engine and

let it mn until fuel line,sand carburetor

clear the engine ofexcess fue!. This

Cut from your dghtI left.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed

than necessa_,.The cuttinglinew_ cut

efficiently when the engineis runat less

than full throttle.At lowerspeeds, there

is less engine noise and vlbralion.The

cuttinglinewill lastlonger and willbe

lesslikely to"weld" ontothe spool.

Always release the throttle trigger and

allow the engine to return to idle speed

when notcutting.

To stop engine:

• Release the throttle trigger.

• Push and hold the engine stop

switch in the STOPor OFF position

untilthe unit has fully stopped.

TWIST-N-EDGE

• Pullthe tab toward the engine.

• Twist the tube to the edging position.;

release tab.

TRIMMER UNE ADVANCE

Trimmer line will advance approxi-

mately 2 in. (5 cm) each time bottom of

tdmmer head is tapped on the ground

with engine running at full throttle.

The most efficientlinelengthisthe

maximum length allowedby linelimiter.

Always keep the shield in place when

the tool is being operated;

ToAdvance Line:

° Operate the engine at full throttle.

• Holdthetrimmerheadparalleltoand

abovethegrassyarea.

• Tapthebottomofthetrimmerhead

lightlyonthegroundonetime.Ap-

proximately2 in.(5 cm)oflinewillbe

advancedwitheachtap.

Toadvance line,tapbottomoftrimmer

headongroundonetime.

Always tap the trimmer head on a

grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such

as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-

cessive wear to the trimmer head.

If lineisworn downto 2 in. (5 cm) or

less,more than one tap willbe required

to obtainthe most officiantline length.

WARNING" Use only .080" (2 ram)

diameter line. Other sizes o! line will

not advance properly and can cause

serious injury. Do not use other materi-

als such as wire, String, rope, etc. Wire

can break off during cutting and be-

come a dangerous missile that can

cause serious injury.

CUTTING METHODS

WARNING: Use minimumspeed and

do notcrowdthe linewhen cutting

around hard objects(rock, gravel, fence

posts,etc.),which can damage the trim-

mer head, become entan_ed inthe line,

or be thrown causing a serious hazard,

* The tipof the linedoes the curing.

Youwillachieve the best performance

and minimum linewear by notcrowd-

ingthe lineintocuttingarea. The right

and wrong waysare shown below.

Tipofthe Une LineCrowdedInto

DoesTheCutting WorkArea

Right

* The line willeasily 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 dam-

age especially to delicate vegetation

or trees with tender bark, shorten line

to4-5 in. (10-13 cm) and use at less

than full throttle.

• For trimming or scalping, use less

than full throttleto 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 goodclean job.

WARNING: Always wear eye protec-

tion. Never teen over the trimmer head.

Rocks or debris can ricochet or be

thrown intoeyes and face and cause

blindness or other serious injury.

TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the

trimmer head about 3 in. (8

SCALPING - The scalping technique

removes unwanted vegetation. Hold

the bottom of the trimmer head about 3

in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an

angle. Allow the tipof the line to strike

the ground around trees, posts, monu-

ments, etc. This technique increases

line wear.

Scelpi_o... .

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
