TRIMMING METHODS (Fig. 9 & 10)

NOTE: Do not try to cutstems larger than 3/8" thick.

TOP CUTTING

• For new or young growth: When trimming new or

young growth, use a wide, sweeping motion.Figure 9A.

A stight,downward tiltof the cuttingbtades in the direc-

tion of motion gives the best cutting results.

• For older, thicker growth: Trim older, thicker growth

by using a sawing motion.Figure 9B.

° For precise, level cuts: If a precisely level cut is

desired, stretch a piece of string across the length of

the hedge. Guide the cutting blades slowly across the

top of the string. Figure 10.

SIDE CUTTING

• When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the

bottom and cut upward, tapering the hedge inward at

the top. Figure 10 (inset). Cutting in this method will

leave the body of the hedge narrower at the top. This

shape will expose more of the hedge, resultingin more

uniform growth.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

IFYOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE FUEL

SOMEONE WHO DOES UNDERSTAND

THE FUEL SAFETY SECTION OR CALL

THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE HOTLINE

GASOLINE

The two-cycle engine on this product requires a fuel mix-

ture of regular unleaded gasoline and a high quality 40:1

2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) for lubrication of the

bearings and other moving parts, The correct fuel/oil mix-

ture is 40:1 (see Fuel Mixture Chart). Too little oil or the

incorrect oil type will cause poor performance and may

cause the engine to overheat and seize.

Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean approved

fuel container, Always use fresh regular unleaded gaso-

line.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

IMPORTANT: Experience indicates that alcohol blended

fuels called gasohol (or using ethanol or methanol) can

attract moisture, which leads to oil/gas separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-

age the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To

avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emp-

tied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas

tank, then run the fuel out of the carburetor and fuel lines

by starting the engine and letting it run until it stops. Use

fresh fuel next season. See STORAGE instructions for

additional information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage

may occur.

2-CYCLE AIR-COOLED ENGINE OIL

CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is

strongly recommended. This oil is specially blended with

fuel stabilizers for increased fuel stability (extends fuel life

up to 5 times longer) and reduced smoke.

If CRAFTSMAN 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is not

available, use a good quality 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-

COOLED) that has a recommended fuel mix ratio of 40:1.

IMPORTANT! Do no use:

• AUTOMOTIVE OIL

• BOAT OILS (NMMA, BIA, etc.)

These oils do not have proper additives for 2-cycle AIR-

COOLED engines and can cause engine damage.

GASOLINE AND OIL MIXTURE

Mix gasoline and oil as follows:

• Consult chart for correct quantities.

- Do not mix gasoline and oil directly in the unit's fuel

tank.

FOR ONE GALLON:

° Pour 3.2 ounces of high quality, 40:1 2-cycle engine oil

(AIR-COOLED) into an empty, approved one gallon

gasoline container.

• Add one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline to the gal-

lon container, then securely replace the cap.

• Shake the container.

° The mixture isnow ready for use. Fuel stabilizer can be

added at this time if desired; follow mixing instructions

on the label.

FUEL MIXTURE CHART

FUEL STABILIZER

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing

the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add

stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always follow the fuel tank or storage container. Always

follow the fue! mix ratio found on the stabilizer container.

Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer to

allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. You do not

have to drain the fuel tank for storage if you are using

fue! stabilizer.

NOTE: Fuel containers may hold more than the specified

amount. If too much gasoline is in the container, the

resulting gas-to-oil fuet mixture will not be correct for

proper engine operation.

CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is

specially blended with fuel stabilizers. If you do not use

this Sears oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer (such as

CRAFTSMAN No. 33500) to your fuel tank.

• Engine will not continue to run at idle position. See

"Idle speed adjustment."

• Blade continues to move when the engine idles. See

"idle speed adjustment."

• Engine dies or hesitates when it should accelerate.

See "Acceleration check."

• Loss of cutting power which cannot be corrected by

cleaning the air filter. See "High speed adjustment."

NOTE: Do not attempt to turn the adjustments beyond

the stops as damage can occur.

PREPARATION

• Use a fresh fuel mix. See the Fueling section.

• Start the engine. Trim hedges for 3 minutes to warm

engine. The engine must be at operating temperature

before carburetor adjustments can be performed cor-

rect/y.

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

• Allow engine to idle.

• Adjust idle speed until the engine continues to run

without stalling and without blade moving.

- Turn idle speed adjustment clockwise to increase

engine speed if the engine stalls or dies.

LOW SPEED MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT

• Allow the engine toidle.

• Turn the low speed adjustment slowly clockwise until

the speed increases. Do not attempt to turn beyond the

stops as damage can occur.

• Turn the low speed adjustment counterclockwise until

the speed decreases. Do not attempt to turn beyond

the stops as damage can occur.

• Set the low speed adjustment at the midpoint between

the two positions.

• Readjust the idlespeed (see "Idle speed adjustment").

HIGH SPEED MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION: Do not operate the engine at

full throttle for prolonged periods while

making high speed adjustments as dam-

age to the engine can occur.

NOTE: Adjust the high speed adjustment 1/16 of a turn

at a time. A turn of 1/16 inch is about the width of the

screwdriver slot in the top of the adjustment.

• Allow the engine to idle, then squeeze the throttle fully.

NOTE: Perform the following steps at ful! throttle.

• Turn the high speed adjustment'counterclockwise until

it stops. Do not attempt to turn beyond the stops as

damage can occur.

• Turn the adjustment the minimum amount clockwise

until the engine runs smoothly. Do not attempt to turn

the beyond the stops as damage can occur.

• If the engine accelerates and runs smoothly, no further

adjustments are necessary.

• Recheck and follow steps in"Acceleration check."

CAUTION: If the engine does not operate

according to these instructions after

repeating the adjusting steps, do not use

the tool.Take it to your authorized service

dealer.

ACCELERATION CHECK

•AItow the engine to idle,

• Squeeze the throttle trigger iuIly. If the engine does

not accelerate smoothly, turn the low speed adjust-

ment counterclockwise a small amount (no more than

the width of the slot in the adjusting screw).

• Repeat previous step until smooth acceleration is

obtained. Do not attempt to turn beyond the stops as

damage can occur.

NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat "Idle speed adjust-

ment" through "Acceleration check" to obtain correct

adjustments.

CLEAN/REPLACE FUEL FILTER (Fig. 18 & 19)

• Run fuel tank dry of fuel before proceeding with this

step.

• Remove fuel cap and allow it to hang to side of motor.

• Using a small pair of needle nose pliers, grasp fuel cap

retainer, holding it in tank opening and pull out.

• With cap out of tank, use a small section of bent wire

similar to that shown in the illustration to catch fuel line

and slowly pull from tank. When fuel filter appears in

opening, grasp with fingers and remove from tank.

• Once filter is out of tank, hotd fuel line close to fuel fit=

ter. Remove fuel filter by twisting and pulling at the

same time.

• To clean fue! filter, submerge in warm soapy water for

10 minutes. (We recommend a very light mixture of

dish washing liquid.) Then agitate until filter is clean,

rinse thoroughly in warm water, air dry.

• Reverse process for installation.

• To replace fuel filter, use same procedure, but install

new filter.

Immediately prepare your unit for storage at the end of

the season or if it will not be used for 30 days or more.

I_ WARNING:ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL, AND

SECURE THE UNIT BEFORE STORING

OR TRANSPORTING IN A VEHICLE.

STORE UNIT AND FUEL IN AN AREA

WHERE FUEL VAPORS CANNOT REACH

SPARKS OR OPEN FLAMES FROM

WATER HEATERS_ ELECTRIC MOTORS

OR SWITCHES, FURNACES, ETC.

STORE UNIT WITH ALL GUARDS IN

PLACE. POSITION SO THAT ANY SHARP

OBJECT CANNOT ACCIDENTALLY

CAUSE INJURY TO PASSERS BY.

STORE THE UNIT OUT OF THE REACH

OF CHILDREN.

i ======================= = = H==,, ml

INTERNAL ENGINE

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur to fuet system

components. Follow these instructions:

• Drain the fuel from the unit into an approved fuel con-

tainer.

• Drain the fuet lines and carburetor by starting the

engine and letting it run until it stops.

• Allow the engine to cool before storage.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits

from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the

carburetor, fuel fitter, fuel hose or tank during storage.

Also, experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels,

those that use ethanof or methanol (called gasohol or

oxygenated fuel), can attract moisture and form acidic

gas which will damage your engine. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be emptied before stor-

age of 30 days or longer.

GAS TRIMMER STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

If your trimmer isto be stored for a period oftime, clean it

thoroughly prior to storage. Remove any dirt, leaves, oil,

grease, etc. Store in a clean dry area.

• Clean the entire unit.

• Clean air filter. Refer to "Customer Responsibilities."

• Lightly oil external metal surfaces to prevent rust from

forming.

• Re-assemble all loose parts, being sure that all han-

dles and guards are in ptace and are securely fas-

tened. Reptace any damaged parts.

• The recommended storage position is either vertically

with the fuel cap on top, or horizontally with the fuel

cap up. Do not store unit with the cutting attach-

ment up, above the engine.

I& CAUTION: Wear protective gloves when

handling. The blade is sharp and can cut

you,

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing

the formation of fuei gum deposits during storage. Add

stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuel tank or fuel storage

container. Always follow the mix instructions found on

stabilizer containers. Run engine at least 5 minutes after

adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the car-

buretor.

CRAFTSMAN 40:! 2-cycte engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is

specially blended with fuel stabilizer. If you do not use

this Sears oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer (such as

CRAFTSMAN No. 33500) to your fuel tank.

FUEL SYSTEM

• Remove spark plug and pour 1 teaspoon of 40:1

2-cycte engine oil (AIR-COOLED) through the spark

piug opening.Slowly pull the starter rope 8 to 10 times

to distribute oilto inner engine surfaces.

• Replacespark plug with a new one ofthe recommended

typeand heat range. Refer to"Product Specifications:

• Clean air filter. Refer to "Customer Responsibilities"

• Re-install all covers and hardware removedfor access;

tighten all screws and fasteners,

• Check entire unit for loose screws, nuts, and bolts.

Replace any damaged, broken, or worn parts.

• Lightly oil external metal surface to prevent rust from

forming.

= Use fresh fuel having the proper gasofine to oil ratioat

the beginning of the next season.

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

° Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your fuel system willcause problem&

• Store your unit in a well ventilated area and covered, if

possible, to prevent dust and dirt accumulation.Donot

cover with plastic. Plastic cannot breathe and will

inducecondensation and eventual rust or corrosion.
