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

weather has been linked to blood vessel dam­age 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 seekmed­ical attention. An anti-vibration system does

WARNING:

do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an
authorized service dealer.

Be sure to read the fuel

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING:

when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-

leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline
must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air­cooled engine oil. We recommend Partner!
brand oil mixed at a ratio of 40:1 (2.5%). A
40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 5 liters of un­leaded gasoline with 0,125 liter of oil. DO
NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These
oils will cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel, follow instructions printed on oil contain­er. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake con­tainer momentarily to assure that the fuel is
thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the
safety 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 system
of an engine while in storage. Toavoid engine
problems, empty the fuel system before stor­age for 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. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT

S T o stop the engine, move the ON/OFF

switch to the OFF position.

HOW TO START YOUR UNIT

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING POSITION

ALWAYS WEAR:

Hearing
Protection

Long Pants

Heavy Shoes

Cut from your right to your left.

WARNING:

tion and hearing protection. 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.
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 lowerspeeds, there is less engine noise and
vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will
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/OFF switch to the OFF posi-

tion.

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

The cutting head advances line automati­cally. Do not tap head on theground to ad­vance line. This may break parts and cause

cutting head to malfunction.
Upon unit start up, the line will advance auto­matically to the correct cutting path length.
Always keep the shield in place when the tool
is being operated.

WARNING:

round line. Other sizes and shapes of line will
notadvance properly and will result inimprop­er cutting head function or 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.

Eye Protection

CUTTING METHODS

WARNING:

do not crowd the line when cutting around
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),
whichcan damage the trimmer 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.
Tip of the Line
Does The Cutting

Right

S The line will easily remove grass and

weedsfrom 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

throttle to increase line life and decrease

head 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, usefull throttle for

a good clean job.

TRIMMING -- Hold the bottom of the trimmer
head about 80 mm 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

80 mm above

SCALPING -- The scalping technique re­moves unwanted vegetation. Hold the bottom
of the trimmer head about 80 mm above the
ground and at anangle. Allow the tip of the line
to strike the ground around trees, posts,
monuments, etc. This technique increases
line wear.

MOWING -- Yourtrimmer 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.

S Fuel Tank -- Discontinue use of unit if fuel

tank shows signs of damage or leaks.

S Debris Shield -- Discontinue use of unit if

INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT AND
LABELS

S After each use, inspect complete unit for

loose or damaged parts. Clean the unit and
labels using a damp cloth with a mild deter­gent.

S Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.

CLEAN AIR FILTER

A dirty air filter decreases engine perform­ance and increases fuel consumption and
harmful emissions. Always clean after every
5 hours of operation.

1. Clean the cover and the area around it to
keep dirt from falling into the carburetor
chamber when the cover is removed.

2. Remove parts as illustrated.

NOTE:

flammable solvent to avoid creating a fire haz­ard or producing harmful evaporative emis­sions.

3. Wash the filter in soap and water.

4. Allow filter to dry.

5. Add a few drops of oil to the filter; squeeze

6. Replace parts.

Donot clean filter ingasoline or other

REPLACE SPARK PLUG

Replace the spark plug each year to ensure
the engine starts easier and runs better. Set
spark plug gap at 0,6 mm. Ignition timing is
fixed and nonadjustable.

1. Twist, then pull off spark plug boot.

2. Remove spark plug from cylinder and dis­card.

3. Replace with Champion RCJ-6Y spark
plug and tighten securely with a 19 mm

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

LINE REPLACEMENT

Pre--wound spools offer the most convenient
method for replacing line and ensuring opti­mum performance.
S Replacement spools are color--coded to

ensure use of the correct spool with your
unit. Be sureto use the same color spool as
the existing spool.

NOTE:

any type of maintenance.

S Hold spool and unscrew cap by turning in
S Remove line guide ring and spool.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:

making idle speed adjustments. The trimmer
head will be spinning during this procedure.
Wear your protective equipment and observe
all safety precautions.
The carburetor has been carefully set at the
factory. Adjustments maybenecessary if you
notice any of the following conditions:
S Engine will not idle when the throttle is re-

leased.
Make adjustments with the unit supported so
the cutting attachment is off the ground and
will not make contact with any object. Hold
the unit by hand while running and making ad­justments. Keep all parts of your body away
from the cutting attachment and muffler.

Keep others away when

Idle Speed Adjustment

Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until engine
runs without stalling (idle speed too slow).
S Turn idle speed screw clockwise to in-

crease engine speed if engine stalls ordies.
S Turn idle speed screw counterclockwise to

decrease engine speed.

2. Insert one end of line into center cavity of
empty spool. Ensure line will feed into
spool in the direction shown on the spool
(counterclockwise).

3. Continue feeding line into spool, leaving
