SPECIAL NOTICE: Exposure to vibra-
tions through proionged use of gasoline pow-
ered hand tools could cause blood vessel or
nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and
joints of people prone to circulation disorders
or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to Mood vessel dam-
age in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms
occur such as numbness, pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture, or
toss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this tool and seek
medical attention. An anti- vibration system
does not guarantee the avoidance of these
problems. Users who operate power tools on
a continual and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical condition and the condi-
tion of this toot.
SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped
with a temperature limiting muffler and spark
arresting screen which meets the require-
ments of California Codes 4442 and 4443. A{I
U.S. forest land and the states of California,
idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ore-
gon, and Washington require by taw that
many internal combustion engines be
equipped with a spark arresting screen. Ifyou
operate in a locale where such regulations ex-
ist, you are legally responsible for maintaining
the operating condition of these parts. Failure
to do so is a vioiation of the law. For normal
homeowner use, the muffler and spark arrest-
ing screen will not require any service. After
50 hours of use, we recommend that your
muffler be serviced or replaced by your autho-
rized service dealer.
NOTE: it is normal for the fuel filter to rattle in
the empty fuel tank.

OPERATING TIPS
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required,
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable
hours-not early in the morning or late at night
when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances. Usual recom-
mendations are 9:00 a.m, to 5:00 p,m.,
Monday though Saturday,
• To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job,
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of
pieces of equipment used at any one time.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris be-
fore blowing,
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen sur-
faces when water is available,
• Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including areas such as gutters,
screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows,
or freshly washed cars. Blow debris away
safely.
• Use the full blower tube extension so the air
stream can work close to the ground.
• After using blowers and other equipment,
CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris in trash re-
ceptacles.

) ratio, Pour 3.2 ounces of I
2-cycle synthetic oil into
One gallon Of fresh gas.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline
must be mixed with a good quality synthetic
2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be
mixed at a ratio of 40:1, Poulan/WEED EATER
brand synthetic oil is recommended, Mix gaso-
lineand oilata ratio of 40:1, A40:1 ratio is ob-
tained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1
gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gasoline, DO NOT
USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will
cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, fol-
low instructions printed on container, Once oil
is added to gasoline, shake container mo-
mentarily to assure that the fuel is 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 stor-
age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, empty the fuel system before stor-
age 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.
