FUELING ENGINE  
HOW TO START YOUR UNIT  
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly  
when refueling.  
WARNING: Avoid any contact with  
the muffler. A hot muffler can cause serious  
burns.  
HELPFUL TIP  
To obtain the correct oil mix  
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of  
2-cycle synthetic oil into  
one gallon of fresh gas.  
Starting position  
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  
cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow  
instructions printed on container. Once oil is  
added to gasoline, shake container momentarily  
to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed.  
Always read and follow the safety rules relating  
to fuel before fueling your unit.  
HELPFUL TIP  
If your engine still does not  
start after following these  
instructions, please call  
1 -800 -554-6723.  
STARTING A COLD ENGINE  
NOTE: DO NOT squeeze the throttle trigger  
until the engine has started and runs.  
1. Set unit on a flat surface.  
2. Slowly press the primer bulb 6 times.  
3. Move the start lever to the START posi-  
tion.  
CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in

FUEL REQUIREMENTS  
Primer Bulb  
This engine requires the use of minimum 87  
octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline.  
IMPORTANT  
Use of alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or  
using ethanol or methanol) can cause major en-  
gine performance and durability problems.  
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.

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.  
ALWAYS WEAR:  
Eye Protection  
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.  
Long Pants  
Heavy Shoes

Cut from your right to your left.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
S During light duty cutting.  
S Near objects around which the line can  
wrap such as small posts, trees or fence  
wire.  
Always release the throttle trigger and allow the  
engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.  
S For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for  
To stop engine:  
a good clean job.  
S Release the throttle trigger.  
S Push and release the engine ON/STOP  
switch.  
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.  
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE  
The trimmer line will advance 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.  
Trimming  
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:  
3 inches (8 cm)  
above ground  
S Operate the engine at full throttle.  
S Hold the trimmer head parallel to andabove  
the grassy area.  
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 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.  
Scalping  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.
