FUELING ENGINE  
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded  
gasoline. Gasoline must be mixed with a good  
quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed  
to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed  
Eater brand oil is recommended. (A 40:1 ratio is  
obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gal-  
lon of unleaded gasoline). When mixing fuel fol-  
low the instructions printed onthe container. Al-  
ways read and follow the safety rules under  
FUEL SAFETY.

through prolonged use of gasoline powered  
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve  
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of

has been linked to blood vessel damage 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 medical attention. An
