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  
spark arresting screen will not require any ser-  
vice. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that  
your muffler be serviced or replaced by your au-  
thorized service dealer.

of 40:1. Poulan/WEED EATER brand synthetic  
oil is recommended. Mix gasoline and oil at a ra-  
tio 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 cause engine  
damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions  
printed on container. Once oil is added to gaso-  
line, shake container momentarily to assure that  
the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and  
follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fuel-  
ing 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.  
CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in  
your unit. This will cause permanent engine  
damage and void the limited warranty.  
HELPFUL TIP  
To obtain the correct oil mix  
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of  
2-cycle synthetic oil into  
one gallon of fresh gas.  
FUEL REQUIREMENTS  
This engine requires the use of minimum 87  
octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline.  
IMPORTANT  
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

4. Pull starter rope handle sharply until engine  
sounds as if it is trying to start, but do not  
pull rope more than 6 times.  
WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gas-  
oline) such as E--15 (15% alcohol), E--20 (20%  
alcohol), E--85 (85% alcohol) are NOT classified  
as gasoline and are NOT approved for use in  
2--stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative  
fuels will cause problems such as: improper  
clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock,  
power loss, lubrication deficiency, deterioration  
of fuel lines, gaskets and internal carburetor  
components, etc. Alternative fuels cause high  
moisture absorption into the fuel/oil mixture  
leading to oil and fuel separation.

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 en-  
gine to return to idle speed when not cutting.

CUTTING METHODS  
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.

Scalping  
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 -- 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 During light duty cutting.  
Mowing  
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.  
Trimming  
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.  
Sweeping  
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.
