SPECIAL NOTICE:

tions 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 abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood vesseldam­age 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 antivibration system
does not guarantee the avoidance of these
problems. Users who operate power tools on
a continual and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical condition and the condi­tion of this tool.

combustion engines operated on forest,
brush, and/or grass covered land in the above
areas are required to be equipped with a
spark arresting screen, maintained in effec­tive working order, or the engine must be con­structed, equipped, and maintained for the
prevention of fire. Check with your state or lo­cal authorities for regulations pertaining to
these requirements. Failure to follow these
requirements is aviolation of the law. This unit
is not factory equipped with a spark arresting
screen; however, a spark arresting screen is
available as anoptional part. If a spark arrest­ing screen is required in your area, contact
your authorized service dealer for the correct
kit. The spark arresting screen, blower tubes,
and nozzles must be assembled to unit to be
in full compliance with regulations.

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. Activ ate the choke by
moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE
position. After engine attemptstostart, move the
choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
Once engine starts, move choke lever to the
RUN position.

To reduce the risk of injury associated with

S

contacting rotating parts, stop the engine be­fore installing or removing attachments. Do
not operate without guard(s) in place.
Operate power equipment only at reasonable

S

hours--not early in the morning or late at night
whenpeople might be disturbed. Comply with
times listedin local ordinances. Usual recom­mendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
To reduce noise levels, limit the number of

S

pieces of equipment used at any one time.
To reduce noise levels, operate power

S

blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-

S

fore blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-

S

faces or use a mister attachment when wa­ter is available.
Conserve water by using power blowers

S

instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

Watchout for children, pets, open windows,

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING:

information in the safety rules before you be­gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be
mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air­cooled engine oildesigned to be mixed ata ratio
of 40:1. Snappert/Weed Eater!brand syn­thetic oil is recommended. Mix gasoline and oil
at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio isobtained by mix­ing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded
gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat
oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When
mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on con­tainer.Once oil is added to gasoline, shakecon­tainermomentarily to assurethatthe fuel isthor­oughlymixed. Always read and followthesafety
rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

Remove fuel cap slowly

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
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
systemofanengine while in storage. T oavoid
engine problems, empty the fuel system
before storage for 30days or longer. Drain the
gastank, startthe engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty.Usefresh
fuel next season. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.

TO STOP THE ENGINE

To stop the engine, move the throttle lever
