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 abnor-  
mal swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather  
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  
anti--vibration system does not guarantee the  
avoidance of these problems. Users who oper-  
ate power tools on a continual and regular basis  
must monitor closely their physical condition  
and the condition of this tool.  
SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped  
with a temperature limiting muffler and spark ar-  
resting screen which meets the requirements of  
California Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S. forest  
land and the states of California, Idaho, Maine,  
Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washing-  
ton require by law that many internal combus-  
tion engines be equipped with a spark arresting  
screen. If you operate in a locale where such  
regulations exist, you are legally responsible for  
maintaining the operating condition of these  
parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law.  
For normal homeowner use, the muffler and

FUEL REQUIREMENTS  
when refueling.  
This engine requires the use of minimum 87  
octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline.  
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  
Use of alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or  
using ethanol or methanol) can cause major en-  
gine performance and durability problems.  
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded  
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 gasoline and  
oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by  
mixing 3.2 fluid ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1  
gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT  
USE automotive oil or marine oil. These oils will

WARNING: Always wear eyeprotec-  
tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.  
Rocks or debris canricochet or be throwninto  
eyes and face and cause blindness or other  
serious injury.  
4. Before using theunit, tighten the knobse-  
curely by turning clockwise.  
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.

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.  
WARNING: Make sure the locking/  
release button is locked in the primary hole  
and the knob is securely tightened before op-  
erating the unit. All attachments are designed  
to be used in the primary hole unless otherwise  
stated in the applicable attachment instruction  
manual. Using the wrong hole could lead to seri-  
ous injury or damage to the unit.  
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 operated.  
To advance line:  
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.  
Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy  
area. Tapping on surfaces such as concrete  
or asphalt 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.

Button in Primary Hole  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
It is recommended that the engine not be  
operated for longer than 1 minute at full  
throttle.  
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.  
CUTTING METHODS  
WARNING: Use minimum speed  
and do not crowd the line when cutting around  
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),  
12  
 
whichcan damage thetrimmer head, become  
entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a  
serious hazard.  
SCALPING -- The scalping technique re-  
moves unwanted vegetation down to the  
ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head  
about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and  
at an angle. Allow the tip of the lineto strikethe  
ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.  
This technique increases line wear.  
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.  
Scalping  
Tip of the line

Line crowded Into  
work area  
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.  
Right  
Wrong  
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:  
Mowing  
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.  
SWEEPING -- The fanning action of the rotat-  
ing line can be used for a quick and easy  
clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above  
the surfaces being swept and move the tool  
from side to side.  
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.
