rotating parts.
• Keep all parts of your body away from
muffler and spinning line. A hot muffler
can cause serious burns.
• Only allow responsible individuals, who
are familiar with the instructions, to
operate the machine.
• Stay away from breakable objects, such
as house windows, auto glass, green-
houses, etc.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people
before trimming, particularly small chil-
dren and pets. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
• Wear appropriate clothing such as a long-
sleeved shirt or jacket. Also wear long
trousers or slacks. Do not wear shorts.
• Do not wear loose clothing which could
get caught in this equipment.
• Do not operate the machine when bare-
foot or wearing open sandals. Always
wear work gloves and sturdy footwear.
Leather work shoes or short boots work
well for most people. These will protect
the operator's ankles and shins from
small sticks, splinters, and other debris,
and improve traction.
• Do not pull machine backwards un-
less absolutely necessary. Always look
down and behind before and while mov-
ing backwards.
• Do not operate the machine without
proper guards, plates or other safety
protective devices in place.
• See manufacturer's instructions for
proper operation and installation of
accessories. Only use accessories ap-
proved by the manufacturer.
• Never use blades, wire, orftailing devices.
This unit is designed for line trimmer use
only. Use of other accessories or attach-
ments will increase the risk of injury.
• Stop the rotating trimmer head when
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
Wait for the cutting lines to stop rotating.
• Stop the engine (motor) whenever you
leave the equipment and allow it to cool,
before cleaning, repairing or inspecting
the unit. Be sure the trimmer head and
all moving parts have stopped.

• Operateonly in daylightor goodartificial
light.
• Donot operatethe machinewhile under
the influenceof alcoholor drugs.
• Neveroperatemachineinwet grass. Al-
ways be sureof yourfooting: keepa firm
holdon the handleandwalk; never run.
• Ifthe equipment shouldstart to vibrate
abnormally,stopthe engine (motor)and
check immediatelyforthe cause. Vibra-
tion is generallyawarningof trouble.
• Alwayswear safetygogglesorsafety
glasseswith sideshieldswhen oper-
ating machine.
Ii. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip
and fall accidents which can result in
severe injury. All slopes require extra cau-
tion. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
trim it.
DO:
• Trim across the face of slopes: never up
and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
. Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The operator could lose
footing or balance.
• Do not trim excessively steep slopes.
• Do not trim on wet grass. Reduced foot-
ing could cause slipping.
Iii. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the machine
and the trimming activity. Never assume
that children will remain where you last
saw them.
• Keep children out of the trimming area
and under the watchful care of another
responsible adult.
A WARNING: This trimmer is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should
not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered
land unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting ap-
plicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in
effective working order by the operator.
In the state of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California
Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal lands. A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your nearest Sears
Service Centre/Department in Canada (see the REPAIR PARTS section of this manual).
• Be alert and turn machine off if children
enter the area.
• Before and while moving backwards,
look behind and down for small children.
• Never allow children to operate the
machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure vision.
IV. SERVICE
. Use extra care in handling gasoline and
other fuels. They are flammable and
vapors are explosive.
Use only an approved container.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel
with the engine running. Allow
engine to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke.
Never refuel the machine indoors.
Never store the machine or fuel
container inside where there is an
open flame, such as a water heater.
Move away from fueling site before
starting engine.
• Never run a machine inside a closed
area.
• Never make adjustments or repairs with
the engine (motor) running. Disconnect
the spark plug wire, and keep the wire
away from the plug to prevent accidental
starting.
• Keep nuts and bolts, especially trimmer
head and engine bolts, tight and keep
equipment in good condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices.
Check their proper operation regularly.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or
other debris buildup. Clean oil or fuel
spillage. Allow machine to cool before
cleaning or storing.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you
strike an object. Repair, if necessary,
before restarting.
• Do not change the engine governor set-
ting or overspeed the engine.
• Clean and replace safety and instruction
decals as necessary.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
ADD OIL
Your trimmer is shipped without oil in the
engine. For type and grade of oil to use,
see "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section
of this manual.
A CAUTION" DO NOT overfill engine with
oil, or it will smoke on startup.
1. Be sure trimmer is level and area
around oil fill is clean.
2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
Make sure that rim of spout is clean.
3. You receive a container of oil with the
unit. Slowly pour the entire container
down the oil fill spout into the engine.

due to residual oil in engine from the
manufacturers 100% quality testing. When
changing oil you may need 20 oz.
4. Insert and tighten dipstick.
8
Page 9
iMPORTANT:
• Check oil level before each use. Add oil
if needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.
• Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or each season. You may
need to change the oi! more often under
dusty, dirty conditions.
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.
Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Pur-
chase fuel in quantities that can be used
within 30 days to assure fue! freshness.
,_ CAUTION: 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 fue! system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain
the gas tank, start the engine and let it
run until the fuel lines and carburetor
are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See Storage Instructions for additional
information. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
,_ CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.

TRIMMING TIPS
= Set the throttle control in the FAST posi-
tion. If the weeds or grass are tal! and
thick, operate the trimmer at a slower
walking speed.
• Frequently clean the underside of the
trimmer to remove any grass build up.
Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and extend
engine life.
• For best results and longer lasting
line, use the ends of the line to do the
cutting. This is easily done by moving
slowly through very thick and heavy
weeds.
• Use the left side of trimmer when trim-
ming along fences, walls, ftowerbeds
and other such objects.
• If trimmer lines become too short, it will
take longer to complete the job. If trim-
mer lines are worn to less than half their
original length, they should be replaced.
See "TO REPLACE TRIMMER LINE" in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
• Trimmer head contact with concrete, as-
phalt or other hard surfaces may cause
premature wear of the ball on bottom of
trimmer head.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this trimmer does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, operator must maintain
trimmer as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your unit.
At least once a season, check to see if
you should make any of the adjustments
described in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.
• At least once a year, replace the spark
plug and replace air filter element. A
new spark plug and clean/new air filter
element assure proper air-fuel mixture
and help your engine run better and
last longer.
• Follow the maintenance schedule in
this manual.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check for loose fasteners.
3. Clean under engine cover.
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease plastic
wheel bearings. Viscous lubricants will
attract dust and dirt that will shorten the
life of the self-lubricating bearings. If you
feel they must be lubricated, use only a dry,
powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.

Always observe safety rules when per-
forming any maintenance.
TIRES
, Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm rub-
ber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp
objects and other hazards that may
cause tire damage.
TRIMMER LINE
For best results, replace trimmer lines
when they have worn to half their original
length. Use .155 inch diameter trimmer
line. Cut new trimmer line length to 18-3/4
inches. After new line is installed on
trimmer head, check all lines so they do
not vary more then one (1) inch in length.
This is important to make sure the trim-
mer head is balanced and will not vibrate
abnormally.
_WARNING: Use onlythe specified trimmer
line. Do not use other materials such as wire,
string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during
trimming and become a dangerous missile
that can cause serious injury.
TO CUT LINE TO PROPER LENGTH
NOTE: Trimmer line pre-cut to proper
length is available for this unit; see the
Repair Parts section of this manual.
If trimmer line is purchased in bulk, it must
be cut to 18-3/4 inches before using. Use
the built-in length guage as follows:
1. From front of trimmer, place the end of
spooled trimmer line at the mark on the
side of the debris shield as shown.
2. Wrap trimmer line around front of chas-
sis cover to other side and cut at the
"22" mark (your unit's width of cut).
TO REPLACE TRIMMER LINE
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug and place wire where it cannot
come in contact with plug.
2. Remove worn trimmer line from line
carrier plate.
3. Fold new, cutto length, trimmer line in half
and insert folded end through carrier plate
opening to back side of retainer clip.
4. With folded end of line at back side of
retainer clip, pull line outward until line
is fully seated under the retainer clip.
5. Repeat on other side of carrier plate.
6. Check all lines to be sure they are the
same length.
7. Reconnect spark plug wire to plug.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30,
10W30 etc.)improve starting in cold weather,
these multi-viscosity oils will result in in-
creased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more fre-
quently to avoid possible engine damage
from running low on oil.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or at least once a year if the unit
is not used for 25 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oi! level before
starting the engine and after each five (5)
hours of continuous use. Tighten oil plug
securely each time you check the oil level.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
NOTE: Before tipping trimmer to drain oil,
empty fuel tank by running engine until
fuel tank is empty.
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug and place wire where it cannot
come in contact with plug.
2. Remove engine oil cap; lay aside on a
clean surface.
3. Tip trimmer on its side as shown and
drain oil into a suitable container. Rock
trimmer back and forth to remove any
oil trapped inside of engine.
3. Clean by gently tapping on a flat sur-
face. If very dirty, replace cartridge.
,I:;I,CAUTION: Petroleum solvents, such as
kerosene, are not to be used to clean car-
tridge. They ma y cause deterioration of the
cartridge. Do not oil cartridge. Do not use
pressurized air to clean or dry cartridge.
4. Install cartridge, then replace cover mak-
ing sure the tabs are aligned with the slots

from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with plug.
• Turn trimmer on its side. Make sure air
filter and carburetor are up. Clean the
underside of your trimmer by scraping to
remove build-up of grass and trash.
• Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating. A clogged engine runs
hotter and shortens engine life.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
• We do not recommend using a garden
hose to clean trimmer unless the electrical
system, muffler, air filter and carburetor
are covered to keep water out. Water in

ENGINE SPEED
Bolt
Your engine speed has been factory set.
Do not attempt to increase engine speed
or it may result in personal injury. If you
believe that the engine is running too fast
or too slow, take your unit to a Sears or
other qualified service center for repair
and/or adjustment.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor has a nonadjustable fixed
main jet for mixture control. If your engine
does not operate properly due to sus-

pected carburetor problems, take your unit
to a Sears or other qualified service center
for repair and/or adjustment.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding
the engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous. If you think
the engine-governed high speed needs
adjusting, take your unit to a Sears or
other qualified service center, which has
proper equipment and experience to make
any necessary adjustments.
Immediately prepare your trimmer for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will
not be used for 30 days or more.
TRIMMER
When trimmer is to be stored for a period
of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt,
IMPORTANT: When folding the handle for
storage or transportation, be sure to fold

1. Clean entire trimmer (See "CLEANING" in
the Maintenance section of this manual).
2. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance
section of this manual.

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
iMPORTANT: it is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose or tank during storage. 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 system of an engine while instorage.
, Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-
gine and letting it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty.
, Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fue! tank or permanent
damage may occur.
, Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: 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 mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer
to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas
tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in
the Maintenance section of this manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove spark plug.
2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
3. Pul! starter handle slowly a few times
to distribute oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER
, Do not store gasoline from one season
to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
, if possible, store your unit indoors and
cover itto protect it from dust and dirt.
, Cover your unit with a suitable protective
cover that does not retain moisture. Do
not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe,
which allows condensation to form and
will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT: Never cover trimmer while
,_gine and exhaust areas are still warm.
CAUTION: Never store the trimmer
with gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.

Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (So-
ciety of Automo-tive Engineers) code J11940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure),
and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision
2002-5). Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambi-
ent operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products
on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the
equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of
power equipment (actual "on-site" or net horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel
pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude),
and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton
may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
