CHOKE  
The ON/OFF switch is located on the trigger  
handle and is used to stop the engine. Move the  
switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.  
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine  
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by  
moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE  
position. After the engine attempts to start, move  
the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.  
Once engine has started, move the choke lever  
to the OFF CHOKE position.  
PRIMER BULB  
The PRIMER BULB removes air from thecar-  
buretor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.  
This allows you to start the engine with fewer  
pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer  
bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to  
its original form.  
This engine is certified to operate on un-  
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline  
must be mixed with a good quality synthetic  
2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be  
mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/WEED EATER  
brand synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gaso-  
line and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob-  
tainedby mixing3.2ounces (95ml) of oil with 1  
gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT  
USE automotive oil or marine oil. These oils  
will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel,  
follow instructions printed oncontainer. Once  
oil is added to gasoline, shake container mo-  
mentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly  
mixed. Always read and follow the safety  
rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.  
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE  
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel  
information in the safety rules before you be-  
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,  
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call  
1-800-554-6723.  
FUELING ENGINE  
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly  
when refueling.  
HELPFUL TIP  
To obtain the correct oil mix  
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of  
2-cycle synthetic oil into  
one gallon of fresh gas.

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  
gas 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 gas 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  
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.  
Beforetrimming, bring enginetoa speedsuffi-  
cient to cut material to be trimmed.  
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.  
3. Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger.  
Keep throttle trigger fully squeezed until  
the engine runs smoothly.  
4. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs,  
but no more than 5 pulls.  
5. Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then  
movethe chokelever to the OFF CHOKE  
position.  
NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter  
rope 5 more pulls. If enginestill does not run, it  
is probably flooded.  
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE  
Flooded engines can be started by placing  
the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position;  
then, pull the rope to clear the engine of ex-  
cess fuel. This could requirepulling thestarter  
handle many times depending on how badly  
the unit is flooded.  
If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to  
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call  
1-800-554-6723.  
To stop engine:

tion.  
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE  
Thetrimmer line willadvance approximately 2  
inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the  
trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the  
engine running at full throttle.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
It is recommended that the engine not be  
operated for longer than 1 minute at full  
throttle.  
The most efficient line length is the maximum  
length allowed by the line limiter. Always keep  
the shield in place when the tool is being oper-  
ated.  
OPERATING POSITION  
ALWAYS WEAR:  
To advance line:  
Hearing  
S Operate the engine at full throttle.  
S Hold the trimmer head parallelto and above  
the grassy area.

S Tap the bottom of the trimmer head lightly on  
the ground one time. Approximately 2 inches  
(5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap.  
Heavy,  
Long Pants  
Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy area.  
Tapping on surfaces such as concrete or as-  
phalt can cause excessive wear to the trimmer  
head.If the line is worn down to 2 inches (5 cm)  
or less, more than one tap will be required to ob-  
tain the most efficient line length.  
Boots  
Cut from your left to your right.  
WARNING: Use only 0.095(2.4  
mm) diameter line. Other sizes of line will not  
advance properly and can cause serious  
injury. Do not use other materials such as  
wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off dur-  
ing cutting and become a dangerous missile  
that can cause serious injury.  
When operating unit, clip shoulder strap onto  
clamp, stand as shown and check for the fol-  
lowing:

WARNING: Use minimum speed  
and do not crowd the line when cutting around  
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),  
whichcandamage the trimmer 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 mini-  
mum line wear by not crowding the line into  
the cutting area. The right and wrong ways  
are shown below.  
S Keep unit below waist level.  
S Keep shoulder strap pad centered on your  
left shoulder and danger sign centered on

SWEEPING -- The fanning action of the rotat-  
ing line canbe used to blow away loose debris  
from an area. Keep the line parallel to and  
above the area surface and swing the tool  
from side to side.  
S The line will easily remove grass and  
weeds fromaround walls, fences, trees and  
flower beds, but it also can cut the tender  
bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences.  
S For trimming or scalping, use less than full  
throttle to increase line life and decrease  
head wear, especially:  
Sweeping  
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, usefull throttle for  
a good clean job.  
TRIMMING -- Hold the bottom of the trimmer  
head about 3 inches (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.

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.  
Trimming  
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.  
3 inches (8 cm)  
above ground  
SCALPING -- The scalping technique removes  
unwanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold  
the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (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 in-  
creases line wear.  
Scalping  
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, andwoody brush up  
to 1/2 inch (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 1/2 inch (1 cm).  
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 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 Cut only from your left to your right. Cutting on  
right side of the shield will throw debris away  
from the operator.  
S Maintain good firm footing while using the  
unit. Do this by planting feet firmly in a  
comfortable apart position.  
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 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  
S Keep blade below waist level; it will be  
easier to maintain control of unit.  
S Do not raise theengine aboveyour waist as  
the blade can come dangerously close to  
your body.  
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 shaft.  
S Do not swing unit with such force that you  
are in danger of losing your balance.  
MAINTENANCE  
S ON/OFF Switch -- Ensure ON/OFF switch  
functions properly by moving the switch to  
the OFF position. Make sure engine stops;  
then restart engine and continue.  
S Fuel Tank -- Discontinue use of unit if fuel  
tank shows signs of damage or leaks.  
S Debris Shield -- Discontinue use of unit if  
debris shield is damaged.  
WARNING: Disconnect the spark  
plug before performing maintenance except
