SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of
people prone to circulation disorders or ab-
normal swellings. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood vessel dam-
age in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms
occur such as numbness, pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture, or
loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this tool and seek med-
ical attention. An anti--vibration system does
not guarantee the avoidance of these prob-
lems. Users who operate power tools on a
continual and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical condition and the condi-
tion of this tool.
S Keep others away when making carburetor
adjustments.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD
Before trimming, bring engine to a speed suffi-
cient to cut material to be trimmed.
Primer Bulb
Do not run engine at a higher speed than nec-
essary. 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.
If trimmer head does not turn when the engine
is in operation, make sure the tube is properly
seated in engine shroud.

ter running out of fuel)
S Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON posi-
tion.
To stop engine:
S Slowly press the primer bulb 6 times.
S Move choke lever to FULL CHOKE posi-
tion.
S Move the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
S If engine does not stop, move choke to
the FULL CHOKE position.
ADVANCING THE TRIMMER LINE
Advance line by tapping the bottom of the cut-
ting head lightly on the ground while engine is
running at full speed. The line limiter blade (on
underside of shield) will cut the line to the proper
length.
S Squeeze the throttle trigger fully and hold
through all remaining steps.
S Pull starter rope handle sharply 6 times.
S Move choke lever to HALF CHOKE posi-
tion.
S Pull starter rope handle no more than 6
pulls, until engine runs.
S Allow engine to run 10 seconds, then move
choke lever to OFF CHOKE position.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
S Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON posi-
tion.
S Move choke lever to OFF CHOKE position.
S Pull starter rope handle until engine runs.
S If engine does not start in 5 pulls, follow in-
structions in STARTING A COLD ENGINE.
WARNING: Use only 0.080” (2 mm)
diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad-
vance properly and 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE WITH WEED BLADE
S Blade Thrust is a reaction that only occurs
when using a bladed unit. This reaction can
cause serious injury such as amputation.
Carefully study this section. It is important that
you understand what causes blade thrust,
how you can reduce the chance of its occur-
ring, and how you can remain in control of unit
if blade thrust occurs.
USING YOUR UNIT
OPERATING POSITION
S WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST -- Blade
Thrust can occur when the spinning blade
contacts an object that it does not cut. This
contact causes the blade to stop for an instant
and then suddenly move or “thrust” away
from the object that was hit. The “thrusting” re-
action can be violent enough to cause the op-
erator to be propelled in any direction and lose
control of the unit. The uncontrolled unit can
cause serious injury if the blade contacts the
operator or others.
S Extend your left arm and hold handlebar
grip with your left hand.
S WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS --
Blade Thrust can occur without warning if
the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is
more likely to occur in areas where it is diffi-
cult to see the material being cut. By using
the unit properly, the occurrence of blade
thrust will be reduced and the operator will
be less likely to lose control.
S Hold throttle grip with your right hand with
finger on throttle trigger.
S Keep unit below waist level.
S Keep shoulder strap pad centered on your
left shoulder and danger sign centered on
your back.
S Maintain full weight of tool on your left
shoulder.
S Without bending over, keep the blade or
trimmer head near and parallel to the
ground and not crowded into material being
cut.

WARNING: The operator or others
must not try to clear away cut material with the
engine running or the blade turning to avoid seri-
ous injury. Stop engine and blade before remov-
ing materials wrapped around blade or tube.
REPLACING THE LINE
S Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion and ensure trimmer head has fully
stopped.
S Cut only grass, weeds, and woody brush up
to 1/2 inch in diameter with the weed blade.
Do not let the blade contact material it can-
not cut such as stumps, rocks, fences,
metal, etc., or clusters of hard, woody brush
having a diameter greater than 1/2 inch.
S Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade is more
likely to snag and thrust.
S Cut only at full throttle. The blade will have
maximum cutting power and is less likely to
bind or stall.
S “Feed” the blade deliberately and not too
rapidly. The blade can thrust away if it is fed
too rapidly.
S Remove the spool by firmly pulling on the
tap button.
S Clean entire surface of hub and spool.
S Replace with a pre-wound spool, or cut two
lengths of 12-1/2 feet of 0.080” (2 mm) di-
R
ameter Weed Eater brand line. Never use
wire, rope, string, etc., which can break off
and become a dangerous missile.
S Insert ends of line about 1/2 inch (1 cm) into
the small holes on the inside of the spool.
Spool
Small
S Cut only from your right to your left. Swing-
ing the unit in the same direction as the
blade spins increases the cutting action.
S Use the shoulder strap and keep a firm grip
on the unit with both hands. A properly ad-
justed shoulder strap will support the
weight of the unit, freeing your arms and
hands to control and guide the cutting mo-
tion.
Holes
Line exit holes
Line in Notch
S Keep feet comfortably spread apart and
braced for a possible sudden, rapid thrust of
unit. Do not overreach. Keep firm footing and
balance.
S Keep blade below waist level; it will be eas-
ier to maintain control of unit.
Line in Notch
S Do not raise the engine above your waist as
the blade can come dangerously close to
your body.
Hub
S Wind the line evenly and tightly onto the
spool. Wind in the direction of the arrows
found on the spool.
S Push the lines into the notches, leaving 3 to
5 inches (7 -- 12 cm) unwound.
S Insert the lines into the the exit holes in the
hub as shown in the illustration.
S Align notches with the line exit holes.
S Push the spool into the hub until it snaps
into place.
S Pull the lines extending outside of the hub to
release the lines from the notches.
S Do not swing unit with such force that you
are in danger of losing your balance.
Bring the engine to cutting speed before en-
tering the material to be cut.
If the blade does not turn when you squeeze
the throttle trigger, make sure tube is fully in-
serted into the engine.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow
engine to return to idle speed when not cut-
ting. The blade should not turn while the en-
gine is running at idle. If the blade turns at idle,
do not use your unit. Refer to the Carburetor
adjustment section or contact your Autho-
rized Service Dealer.
S Maintain good firm footing while using the
unit. Do this by planting feet firmly in a com-
fortable apart position.
SERVICE
We recommend all service and adjustments
not listed in this manual be performed by an
