OPERATION

WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you begin. If you do not understandthe safety rules, do not attempt to fuelyour unit.Contact anauthorized service dealer.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded

petrol. Before operation, petrol must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We recommendMcCulloch brand oil mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A 40:1 ratio is obtainedby mixing5 liters ofunleaded petrol with 0,125 liter of oil. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixingfuel,followinstructions printedon oil container. Once oil is added to petrol, shake container momentarily to assure thatthefuelis thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

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 system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine andletit run until thefuel lines andcarburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

OPERATING POSITION

Boots

Heavy, Long Pants

Eye Protection

ALWAYS WEAR:

Cut from your left to your right.

Hearing Protection

Safety Helmet

When operating unit, clip shoulder harness onto clamp, standas shownand checkfor the following:

S Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. S Extend your left arm and hold handlebar

grip with your left hand.

S Hold throttle grip with your right hand with

finger on throttle trigger.

S Keep unit below waist level. S Maintain full weight of tool on both shoulders. S Without bending over, keep the blade or

trimmer head near and parallel to the ground and not crowded into material being cut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD

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. Beforetrimming,bring engineto a speed sufficient to cut material to be trimmed. 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 linewilllastlonger andwill be less likely to “weld” onto the spool. Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed when not cutting. To stop engine:

S Release the throttle trigger. S Move the ON/STOP switch to the STOP

position.

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

Advance lineby tapping thebottomof the cutting headlightly on the ground while engineis running at full speed. The metal line limiter blade attached to the guard will cut the line to the proper length.

WARNING: Use only2,4mmdiameter

line.Other sizes of line willnot advanceproperly

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.

CUTTING METHODS

WARNING: Use minimum speedand

do not crowd the line when cutting around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.), which candamage thetrimmer head,become entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a serious hazard. 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.

Wrong

Tip ofline does the cutting.

work area.

S 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.

S For trimming or scalping, use less than full

throttleto increaselinelife anddecreasehead wear, especially:

S During light duty cutting. S Near objects around which the line can

wrap such as small posts, trees or fence wire.

S For mowing or sweeping, use fullthrottle for a

good clean job. TRIMMING -- Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 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.

Trimming

80mm above ground

SCALPING -- The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 8cm abovethe ground andat an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This technique increases line wear.

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.

Mowing

SWEEPING -- Thefanning actionof the rotatingline canbe usedto blowaway loose debris from an area. Keep the line parallel to and above the area surface and swing the tool from side to side.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH WEED BLADE

S Blade Thrust is a reaction that only occurs

when using a bladed unit. This reaction can cause serious injury such as amputation. Carefully study this section.It is importantthat you understand what causes blade thrust, how you can reduce the chance of its occurring, and how you can remain in control of unit if blade thrust occurs.

S WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST -- Blade

Thrust can occur when the spinning blade

contacts an object that it does not cut. This contact causesthe bladeto stopforaninstant and then suddenly move or “thrust” away from the object that was hit. The “thrusting” reaction can be violent enough to cause the operator to be propelled in any direction and lose control of the unit. The uncontrolled unit

can causeserious injury ifthe blade contacts

the operator or others.

S WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS --

Blade Thrust can occur without warning if

the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is

more likely to occur in areas where it is

difficult to see the material being cut. By

using the unit properly, the occurrence of

blade thrust will be reduced and the

operator will be less likely to lose control.

S Cut only grass, weeds, and woody brush up

to 1 cm in diameter with the weed blade. Do

notlet the blade contact material it cannot cut

suchas stumps, rocks,fences,metal, etc., or

clusters of hard, woody brush having a

diameter greater than 1 cm. S Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade is more

likely to snag and thrust. S Cut only at full throttle. The blade will have

maximumcutting power and is less likelyto

bind or stall. S “Feed” the blade deliberately and not too

rapidly. Theblade can thrust away ifit is fed

too rapidly. S Cut only from yourleft toyour right. Cutting on

right side of the shield will throw debris away

from the operator. S Use the shoulder harness and keep a firm

grip on the unit with both hands. A properly

adjusted shoulder harness will support the

weight of the unit, freeing your arms and

hands to controland guide the cutting motion. S Keep feet comfortably spread apart and

braced for a possible sudden, rapid thrust of

unit. Do not overreach. Keep firm footingand

balance. S Keep blade below waist level; it will be

easier to maintain control of unit. S Do not raise theengineabove yourwaist as

the blade can come dangerously close to

your body. S Do not swing unit with such force that you

are in danger of losing your balance. Bring the engine to cutting speed before entering the material to be cut. If the blade does not turn when yousqueezethethrottle trigger,make sure shaft is fully inserted into the engine. Always release the throttle trigger and allow engine to return to idle speed when not cutting. The blade should not turn while the engine isrunningat idle.If thebladeturns atidle, do not use yourunit. Refer tothe CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT section or contact your authorized service dealer. S Maintain good firm footing while using the

unit. Do this by planting feet firmly in a

comfortable apart position.

S Cut while swinging the upper part of your

body from left to right.

S As you move forward to the next area to cut,

be sure to maintain your balance and footing.

Cut using the 2 o’clock to 4 o’clock position of the blade
