Store tool and fuel in an area where fuel vapors

cannot reach sparks or open flames from water

heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces,

etc.

3. USE THE _'_LLOWINtG :

(16 parts gasoline to I part oil)

WARNING: Alcohol blended fuels, called gasohot

(using ethanol or methanol), can attract moisture

which teads to separation and formation of acids

during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel

system of an engine while in storage, To avoid

engine problems, empty the fuel tank before stor-

ing for' :30 days or' longer. Use up fuel teft in the

carburetor by star_:ing the engine and letting it run

until it stops, Use flesh fuel after taldng your unit

out of storage_ Never use engine or' carburetor

cteane_ products in the fuel tank or permanent

engine damage may occm_ See the Storage section

for additional information

_,. FUEL MXXTU_E

Your tool is powered by a two-cycle engine which

requires a fuel mixture of regular unleaded

gasoline and a high quality engine oil specially

made for 2-cycle, air cooled engines. The internal

design of the 2-cycle engine requires lubrication of

moving parts Lubrication is provided when the

recommended mixture of gasoline and oil is used

Gasoline must be clean and fresh.After a short

period of time, gasoline wilt chemically break

down and form compounds that cause hard

starling and damage in 2-cycle engines,

o The correct measure of gasoline to oil is very

important. Too much oi! in the mixture wilt fnul the

spark plug

IcA_ Too little oil or incorrect oil will

cause the engine to overheat and seize.

o Always mix the fuel thoroughly in a container

since gasoline andoil do not readily combine Do not

mix gasoline and oil directly in the fuel tank

4. DO NOT riSE:

o BIA OIL (Boating Institute of America) --

-- Does not have proper additives for aii-cooled

2-cycle engines and can cause engine damage

o AIYrOMO'I IVE OIL --

-- Does not have proper additives for2-cycle engines

and can cause damage

5. HOW TO MLX FUEL AND FNLIL T_K

a Pour 1/2 of the regular unleaded gasoline to be used

into an approved, marked container'. Do not mi_:

gasoline and oil directly in the fuel tank

b Add entire measure of engine oil

c Cover container tightly and shake for one minute

d Slowly remove fuel container cover

e Add remainderofgasoline

fl Cover container tightly and shake again

g Slowly remove fuel container cover

h Slowly remove fuel cap See "Specifications"

for location

i Fill the tank using a spout or funnel

j Reinstall the fuel cap securely

1, Bring the engine to cutting speed beforeentering the

material to be cut°

a Do not run the engine at a higher speed than

necessary. The cuaing line will cut efficiently when

the engine is run at less than flail throttle, At lower

speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The

trimmer line will last longer and will be less likely

to "weld" on the spool.

b, If the Trimmer Head does not turn when the

engine is running, make sure the Drive Shaft

Housing is properly seated in the Engine Shloud

Refer' to "Assembly-Drive Shaft Housing."

Use Only Genuine Replacement Parts

Trinuner head parts that are chipped, cracked or damaged in

any way, can fly apart and cause serious injury, Do not use.

Throw damaged paris away. Replace damaged parts before

using the tool.

a Always wear a safety face shield or goggles. See

"Accessories:'

b Always wear heavy, long pants, boots and gloves°

Donor wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, san-

dais or go barefoot Secure hair so it is above

shoulder length Being fully covered will help protect

you from pieces of toxic plants such as poison ivy

thrown by the Tr'immet Head which could be more of

a hazard than touching the plant itself.

c Do not operate this tool when you are tired, ill or

under the influence of alcohol, drugs or

medication.

d Do not swing the tool with such force that you are

in danger of losing your balance.

e Never start or run the engine inside a closed room

or building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill

f Keep handles free ofoil and fuel.

Make carburetor adjustments with the drive

shaft housing supported to prevent the trimmer

line from contacting any object, Hold the tool with

your hand Do not use the optional shoulder strap for

support.

Keep others away when making carburetor

adjustments.

Use only accessories or attachments recom-

mended for this tool by Sears.

J. CUTTING

Inspect the area to be cut before each use. Remove

objects (rocks. broken glass, nails, wire. string, etc )

which can be thrown or become entangled in the

trimmer head

b Al_ays keep the engine on the right side of your

bod_,.

2._L

a Inspect the entire tool before each user Replace

damaged parts Check for fuel leaks and make sure

all fasteners are in place and securely fastened

b Use only .080" diameter Sears Laser Line ®.

Never use wire, rope, string, etc.

c Be sure the shield is properb attached.

d Make sure the trimmer head is properly installed

and securely fastened. Refer to "Assembly _

c Hold the tool l'trmly with both hands.

d Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-reach

e Keep the trimmer head below waist level.

Do not raise the engine above your v,aist.

g Keepali partsofyourbody away from the trim-

mer line and muffler when the engine is runnhag,

h Use only for jobs explained in this manual.

_R _ ADVA__CE

o The line will advance approxhnately 2 inches each

time the bottom of the trimmer head is tapped on the

ground with the engine running at full throttle.

o The most eWmient line length is the maximum length

allowed by the line limiter,

o Airways keep the shield in place when the tool is being

operated.

To ad_ance line:

1 Operate the engine at full throttle

NOTE: Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy area Tapping

on surfaces such as concrete or asphaltcan cause excessive wear

to the trimmer head

d_WA_MD_G

Use only .080" diameter Sears Laser Line ®. Do not

use other materials such as rope, wire string, etc. Wwe

can break during cutting and become a dangerous

missile.

2 Hold trimmer head parallel to and above the grassy

area

Lightly tap the bottom of the trimmer head on the

ground one time, See Figure 15 Approximately

2 inches of line will be advanced with each tap°

NOTE: If the line is worn down to two inches or

less, more than one tap will be required toobtain the

most efficient line length

NOTE: Scalping can occur when tapping the bot-

tom of the trimmer head on the ground. To avoid

scalping in critical locations, tap the bottom of the

trinamer head in an inconspicuous area when

advancing the trimmer line.

The tip of the line does the cutting. Allow the line to

trim at its own pace, You will achieve better results by

not crowding the line into the cutting area, The right and

wrong way are shown in Figure 16.

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 to vegetation or trees with

tender bark, shorten line to 4-5 inches and use less than

full throttle

The li_ will wear fas_r and will need tobe advanced

more frequently when you are cutting against rocks,

bricks, concrete, metal fences, etc., than when cut-

ting against trees or wooded fences.

Fortnmming or _calping, use less than full throttle

to increase line life and decrease head wear°

--during light duty cutting

-- next to rocks, bricks, concrete, metal fences, etc

Formowingorsweeping, use full throttle for a good

clean job.

o Avoid letting the trimmer head continuously contact

the ground during normal cutting. Constant contact

will cause trimmer head damage and premature wear

Always wear eye pro_ction. Never lean over the trim-

met head. Rocks or debris can rict_chet or be _ into

eyes and face and cause blindness or o_ber serious injury.

e For proper line feed:

-- Use only genuhae Sears pre-wound spools and

.080" diameter Sears Laser Line.® Use of other

spools or line can iesult in excessive breakage, line

welding and improper line feed,

--Pre-wound spools offer the most convenient

method for replacing line as well as optimum per-

o Always clean dirt and debris from thespool and hub

when performing any type maintenance

o To avoid line welding, keep trimmer line at a max-

imum length allowed by the line Ihniter.
