OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Bring the engine to cutting speed before entering

the material to be cut, * Do not run the engine at a higher speed

than necessary. The cutting line will cut effi- ciently when the engine is run at less than full

throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise

and vibration. The catting line will last longer and wilt be less likely to "weld" onto the spool.

iiiiiii i i i

• If trimmer head does not turn when the en-

gine is in operation, make sure the drive shaft housing is properly seated in the engine shroud.

Refer to '_ssembly-Tube."

• Always release throttle trigger and allow engine to return to idle when not cutting.

• To stop engine: a. Release the throttle trigger.

b. Move ignition switch to the "Off" position.

A WARNING- DAMAGED

TRIMMER HEAD "

Trimmer head parts that are chipped, cracked, broken, or damaged in any other way can fly

apart and cause serious injury. Do not use.

Replace damaged parts before using the

tool. . _ "

2. TOOL a. Inspect the entire tool before each use.

Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks

and make sure all fasteners are in place and se- curely fastened.

b. Use only .080" diameter Sears Laser Line.

Never use wire, rope: string, etc. '

c, Be sure the shield is properly attached.

d. Make sure the trimmer head is properly

installed and securely fastened. Refer to

"Assembly."

e. Make carburetor adjustments with the

drive shaft housing supported to prevent the trimmer line from contacting any object.

f. Keep others away when making carbure-

tor adjustments.

g. Use only genuine Sears accessories or attach-

ments as recommended.

3. CUTTING a. Inspect the area to be cut before each

use. Remove objects (rocks, broken glass,

nails, wire, string, etc.) which can be thrown or

become entangled in the trimmer head.

b. Always keep the engine on the right-

hand side of your body.

c. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. d. Keep firm footing and balance. Do not

over- reach.

- 11 -

e. Keep the trimmer headbelow waist level. f. Do not raise the engine above your waist.

g. Keep all parts of your body away from the

trimmer line the engine is running.

h. Keep all parts of your body away from a

hot muffler.

B. TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

• The trimmer line will advance approxi. mately 2 inches each time the bottom of the

trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the engine running at full throttle.

• The most efficient line length is the maxi- mum length allowed by the line iimiter.

• Always keep the shield in place when the

tool is being operated_ Figure 10.

• To Advance Line:

1. Operate.the engine at full throttle.

_ 2. Hold the trimmer head parallel to and above

the grassy area.

3. Tap bottom of trimmer head lightly on ground

one time. See Figure 10. Approximately 2

..... inches uf line will be advanced with each tap.

Always tap trimmer head on a grassy

.... area. Tapping on surfaces such as concrete or

asphalt can cause excessive wear to the trim- mer head.

NOTE." if the line is worn down to two

inches or less, more than one tap will be re- quired to obtain the most efficient line length.

C. CUTTING METHODS

. A I

Use minimum speed and do not crowd the line l when cutting around hard objects (rock, l_ravel,

fence posts, etc), which can damage the trimmer I head, become entangled in the line, or be i

thrown causing a serious hazard. [

• The tip of the line does the cutting. You will achieve best performance and minimum line wear

bynot crowdingthe line into the cutting area. The

right and wrong ways are shown in Figure 11.

• The line will easily remove grass and weeds from around walls, fences, trees and flower

beds, but it also can cut the tender bark of

trees or shrubs and scar fences. To help avoid damage especially to delicate vegetation or trees

with tender bark, shorten line to 4-5 inches (10 -

12.5 cm) and use at less than full throttle.

• For trimming or scalping, use less than full throttle 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 mowingor sweeping, use fuji throttle for a good clean job.

I AWARNING I

IAlways wear eye protectmn_ Never lean over the I ]trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or l
