DANGER: The metal shield must be  
properly installed on the tool anytime the tool  
is used with the blade. The forward tip of the  
metal shield helps to reduce the occurrence  
of blade thrust which can cause serious injury  
such as amputation to the operator or by-  
standers. Failure to install the shield in the  
position shown can result in serious injury to  
the operator. The length of the shield must be  
aligned with the length of the tube. The blade  
is sharp and can cut you. Be sure to wear  
gloves while working with blades.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR  
USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD  
Before trimming, bring engine to a speed suffi-  
cient to cut material to be trimmed.  
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.  
Choke  
Lever  
Muffler  
COLD ENGINE (or warm engine af-  
ter running out of fuel)  
Always release the throttle trigger and allow  
the engine to return to idle speed when not  
cutting.  
S Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON posi-  
tion.  
S Slowly press the primer bulb 6 times.  
S Move choke lever to FULL CHOKE posi-  
tion.  
To stop engine:  
S Move the ON/OFF switch to OFF.  
S If engine does not stop, move choke to  
the FULL CHOKE position.  
S Squeeze the throttle trigger fully and hold  
through all remaining steps.  
ADVANCING THE TRIMMER LINE  
S Pull starter rope handle sharply 6 times.  
S Move choke lever to HALF CHOKE posi-  
tion.  
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 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.  
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

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.  
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.  
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 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 Maintain good firm footing while using the  
unit. Do this by planting feet firmly in a com-  
fortable apart position.  
S Cut while swinging the upper part of your  
body from right to left.  
S As you move forward to the next area to cut,  
be sure to maintain your balance and foot-  
ing.  
10 o’clock  
Cut using the 8 o’clock  
to 10 o’clock position of  
the blade  
8 o’clock  
WARNING: The operator or others  
must not try to clear away cut material with the  
engine running or the blade turning to avoid  
serious injury. Stop engine and blade before  
removing 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 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 Poulan/Weed Eater brand line.  
S Cut only at full throttle. The blade will have  
maximum cutting power and is less likely to  
bind or stall.  
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.  
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 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.  
Spool

S Keep feet comfortably spread apart and

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
