OPERATION A WARNING: 8e sure to read the fuel information in the safety rules before you be- gin. you do not understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an authorized service dealer. FUELING ENGINE À WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowiy when refueling. This engine is certfied to operate on un- leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air- cooled engine oil. We recommend Pariner® brand oil mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). À 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of un- leaded gasoline with 0,125 lier of oil. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil contain- er. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake con- tainer momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and followthe 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 stor- age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel system betore stor- age for 80 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, startthe engine and letit run untilthe fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products inthe fueltank or permanent damage may occur.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING POSITION ALWAYS WEAR: © — Eye Protection Cut from your right to your left. À WARNING: Aways wear eye protec- tion and hearing protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can rico- chet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other Serious injury. Do not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting line wil cut effcientiy when the engine is run at less than full throttie. At lower speëds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The cutting line wil last longer and will be less likely to “weld” onto the spool. Always release the throtile trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed when not cutting. To stop engine: + Release the throtile trigger. + Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi- tion.

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

Advance line by tappingthe bottom ofthe cut- ting head lightiy 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. À WARNING: Use onty 2 mm diameter line. Other sizes and shapes of line will not ad- vance properly and will result in improper cut- ting 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. CUTTING METHODS À WARNING: Use minimum speed and do not crowd the line when cuttng around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.), which can damage the trimmer head, become entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a serious hazard. + The tip ofthe line does the cutting. You will achieve the best performance and mini- mum line wear by not crowding the line into the cuttng area. The right and wrong ways are shown below. Tip ofthe Line | Line Crowded Into Does The Cutting | Work Area + The line will easily remove grass and weeds from around walls, fences, trees and flower beds, but it also can cut ie tender bark oftrees or shrubs and scar fences. For timming or scalping, use less than full throtile to increase line life and decrease head wear, especially: + During light duty cutting. + Near objects around which the line can- wrap such as small posts, trees or fence wire. + For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for a good clean job. TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 80 mm 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. Trimming 3in. (8 cm) D Above Ground ' à SCALPING - The scalping technique re- moves unwanted vegetation. Hold the bottom ofthe trimmer head about 80 mm above the ground andatan angle. Allowthe tip ofthe line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, eîc. This technique increases line wear. Scalping

MOWING - Your timmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lan mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the line parallel to the ground.
