or clothing with loosely hangingties, straps, tas- sels, etc.; they can be caught in moving parts. Be- _fgtfully covered w;ffihelp protect you from pieces

oxic plants such as poison ivy thrown by blade

or trimmer head which could be more of a hazard

than touching the plant itself.

• Secure hair so it is above shoulder length.

• Do not operate unit when you are tired, ill, or un-

der the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

• Wear hearing protection if you use the unit for more than I- 1/2 hours per day.

• Never start or run the engine inside a dosedroom or building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill.

• Always use the handlebar and a properly adjusted shoulder strap with a blade. See '_kssembly."

A UNIT/MAIntENANCE SAFETY

• Look for and replace damaged or loose parts be- fore each u_. Look for and repair fuelleaks before

use. Keep the unit in good working condition.

• Throw away blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken, or damaged in any other way.

Replace trimmer head parts that are cracked, Ch_pped,broken, or damaged in any other waybe-

fore using the unit.

• Maintain the unit accordingto recommended pro- eedures. Keep the blade sharp. Keep the cutting

line at the proper length.

• Use only .080" diameter SEAB._SLaser Line®

brand line. Never use wire, rope, string, etc.

• Install the required shield properly before using

the unit. Use the metal shield for all weed blade

use. Use the plastic shield for all line trimmer use.

• Use only specified blade or trimmer head; make

sure it is properly installed and securely fastened.

• Never start engine with dutch shroud removed. The clutch can fly off and cause serious injury.

• Be sure blade or trimmer head stopsturningwhen engine idles.

• Disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance (except carburetor adjustments).

• Make carburetor adjustments with the lower end supported to prevent the blade or trimmer line from contacting any object. Hold the unit by hand; do not use the shoulder strap for support.

• Keep others away when making carburetor ad-

justments.

• Use only genuine SEARS accessories as recom- mended for this unit.

If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment.

b. Insert your right arm and head through the

shoulder strap and allow it to rest on your left shoulder. Make sure the danger sign is on your

back and the hook is to the right side of your waist. Figure 7.

A one-half twist is built in the shoulder

strap to allow the strap to rest fiat on the shoulder. c. Adjust the strap so that the hook will be about

10 inches below the waist when the hook is at-

tached to the shoulder strap.

d. Fasten shoulder strap hook to clamp and lift

tool to the operating position. Figure 7.

OPERATION

BEFORE STARTING ENGIr_: 2-CYCLE OIL:

WARNING

GASOLINE

The two-cycle engine on this product requires a fuel mix-

ture of regular unleaded gasoline and a high quality en-

gine oil for Iubrication of the bearings and other moving

parts. The correct fuel/oil mixture is 40:1 (see Fuel Mix-

ture Chart). Too little oil or the incorrect oil type will cause poor performance and may cause the engine to over- heat and seize.

BE SURE TO READ THE FUEL SAFETY INFORMATION IN THE WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SEC-

TION OF THIS MAN-tlAL BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE FUEL SAFETY SECTION, DO NOT AT-

TO FUEL YOUR I_NIT;, SEEK

HELP FROM SOMEONE WHO DOES

UNDERSTAND THE FUEL SAFETY SECTION OR CALL THE CUSTOMER

ASSISTANCE HOTLINE AT

1-800 -235-5878.

CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2 cycle oilis strongly recommended. This off is specially blended with fue! stabilizers for increased fuel stability (extends fuel life up to 5 times

longer') and reduced smoke.

If CRAFTSMAN 2 cycle oil is not available, use a good

quality 2 cycle AIR-COOLED engine oil that has a

recommended fuel mix ratio of 40:1.

IMPORTANT! Do not use:

• AUTOMOTIVE OIL

• BOAT OILS (NMMA, BIA. etc.) These oils do not have proper additives for 2-cycle,

AIR-COOLED engines and can cause engine damage.

GASOLINE AND OIL iVIIXTURE

Mix gasoline and oil as follows:

• Consult chart for correct quantities.

Gasoline and oil must be premlxed in a clean approved fuel container. Always use fresh regular unleaded gasoline.

IMPORT _ANT: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels called gasohol (or using ethanol or metha-

nol) can attract moisture, which leads to oi!/gas separa-

tion and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine While in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,

then run the fuel out of the carburetor and fuel lines by starting the engine and letting it run until it stops. Use

fresh fuel next season. See STORAGE instructions for ad&'tional information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

FUEL STABILIZER

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add

stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow the fuel mix ratio found on the stabilizer

container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding

stab'_zer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. You do not have to drain the fuel tank for storage if you are

using fuel stabilizer.

CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2 cycle engine off is specially blended with fuel stabilizers. If you do not use this Semrs off, you

can add afuel stabilizer (such as Craftsman No. 33500) to y_r ._aelta_.

• Do not mix gasoline and oil directly in the fuel tank. FOR ONE GALLON:

- Pour 3.2 ounces of high quality, 2-cycle engine oil into an empW, approved one gallon gasoline con- tainer.

° Add one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline to the

gallon container, then securely replace the cap.

Shake the container momentarily.

• The mixture is now ready for use. Fuel stabilizer

can be added at this time if desired; follow mixing instructions on the label.
