gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,  
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an  
authorized service dealer.  
FUELING ENGINE  
HOW TO START YOUR UNIT  
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly  
when refueling.  
WARNING: Avoid any contact with the  
muffler. A hot muffler can cause serious burns.  
STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or a  
warm engine after running out of fuel)  
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded  
petrol. Before operation, petrol must be mixed  
with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.  
We recommend McCulloch brand oil mixed at a  
ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtained by  
mixing 5 liters of unleaded petrol with 0,125 liter  
of oil. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil.  
These oils will cause engine damage. When  
mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil con-  
tainer. Once oil is added to petrol, shake con-  
tainer momentarily to assure that the fuel is thor-  
oughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety  
rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT  
Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels  
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)  
can attract moisture which leads to separation  
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic  
petrol can damage the fuel system of an engine  
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,  
empty the fuel system before storage for 30  
days or longer. Drain the fuel tank, start the en-  
gine and let it run until the fuel lines and carbure-  
tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Nev-  
er use engine or carburetor cleaner products in  
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR  
USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD  
S For trimming or scalping, use less than full  
throttle to increase line life and decrease head  
wear, especially:  
WARNING: Always wear eye protec-  
tion. 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.  
Before trimming, bring engine to a speed suffi-  
cient to cut material to be trimmed.  
S During light duty cutting.  
S Near objects around which the line can  
wrap such as small posts, trees or fence  
wire.  
S For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for a  
good clean job.  
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:  
TRIMMING -- Hold the bottom of the trimmer  
head about 8 cm above the ground and at an  
angle. Allow only the tip of the line to make  
contact. Do not force trimmer line into work  
area.  
Trim
S Release the throttle trigger.  
S Push and hold the ON/STOP switch in the  
STOP position until the engine stops.  
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE  
Advance line by tapping the bottom of the cut-  
ting head lightly on the ground while engine is  
running at full speed. The metal line limiter  
blade attached to the guard will cut the line to  
the proper length.  
8 cm above

SCALPING -- The scalping technique re-  
moves unwanted vegetation down to the  
ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head  
about 8 cm above the ground and at an angle.  
Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground  
around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This  
technique increases line wear.  
WARNING: Use only 2,4 mm diame-  
ter line. Other sizes of line will not advance  
properly and will result in improper 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.  
Scalping  
CUTTING METHODS  
WARNING: Use minimum speed and  
do not crowd the line when cutting around  
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),  
whichcan damage thetrimmer head, become  
entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a  
serious hazard.  
S The tip of the line does the cutting. You will  
achieve the best performance and minimum  
line wear by not crowding the line into the  
cutting area. The right and wrong ways are  
shown below.  
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.

S Cut only grass, weeds, and woody brush up  
to 1 cm in diameter with the weed blade. Do  
not let the blade contact material it cannot cut  
such as stumps, rocks, fences, metal, etc., or  
clusters of hard, woody brush having a  
diameter greater than 1 cm.  
Mowin
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.  
SWEEPING -- The fanning action of the rotat-  
ing linecan beusedto blow away loosedebris  
from an area. Keep the line parallel to and  
above the area surface and swing the tool  
from side to side.  
S “Feed” the blade deliberately and not too  
rapidly. The blade can thrust away if it is fed  
too rapidly.  
S Cut only from your left to your right. Cutting on  
right side of the shield will throw debris away  
from the operator.  
Sweeping  
S Use the shoulder strap and keep a firm grip  
on the unit with both hands. A properly  
adjusted shoulder strap will support the  
weight of the unit, freeing your arms and  
hands to control and guide the cutting motion.  
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  
easier to maintain control of unit.  
S Do not raise the engine above your waist as  
the blade can come dangerously close to  
your body.  
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  
occurring, and how you can remain in control  
of unit if blade thrust occurs.  
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”  
reaction can be violent enough to cause the  
operator 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 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  
difficult 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 Do not swing unit with such force that you  
are in danger of losing your balance.  
Bring the engine to cutting speed before enter-  
ing the material to be cut. If the blade does not  
turn when you squeeze the throttle trigger, make  
sure shaft is fully inserted 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 bladeturns at idle,  
do not use your unit. Refer to the CARBURE-  
TOR ADJUSTMENT section or contact your  
authorized service dealer.  
S Maintain good firm footing while using the  
unit. Do this by planting feet firmly in a  
comfortable apart position.  
S Cut while swinging the upper part of your  
body from left to right.  
S As you move forward to the next area to cut,  
be sure to maintain your balance and footing.  
RECOMMENDED CUTTING POSITION  
2 o’clock  
Cut using the 2  
o’clock to 4 o’clock  
position of the  
blade  
4 o’clock  
WARNING: The operator or others  
must not try to clear away cut material withthe  
engine running or the blade turning to avoid  
serious injury. Stop engine and blade before  
removing materials wrapped around blade or  
shaft.
