READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING

• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and

proper use of the unit.

• Do not operate this unit when tired, ill or under the influence of alco-

hol, drugs or medication.

• Children under the age of 15 must not use the unit; teens may oper-

ate the unit with adult guidance.

• Inspect the unit before use. Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel

leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure. Replace cut-

ting attachment parts that are cracked, chipped or damaged in any

way. Make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and

securely fastened. Be sure that the cutting attachment shield is prop-

erly attached, and positioned as recommended. Failure to do so can

result in personal injury to the operator and bystanders, as well as

damage to the unit.

• Use only 0.095-inch (2.41 mm) diameter original equipment manu-

facturer replacement line. Never use metal-reinforced line, wire,

chain or rope. These can break off and become dangerous projec-

tiles.

• Be aware of risk of injury to the head, hands and feet.

• Squeeze the throttle control and check that it returns automatically to

the idle position. Make all adjustments or repairs before using the unit.

• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove rocks, broken

glass, nails, wire, string and other objects which may be thrown or

become entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of chil-

dren, bystanders and pets; keep them outside a 50-foot (15 m.)

radius, at a minimum. Even then, they are still at risk from thrown

objects. Encourage bystanders to wear eye protection. If you are

approached, stop the unit immediately.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR GAS UNITS

• Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area where there are no

sparks or flames. Remove the fuel cap slowly, and only after the

engine stops. Do not smoke while fueling or mixing fuel. Wipe up any

spilled fuel from the unit immediately.

• Store fuel only in containers specifically designed and approved for

the storage of such materials.

• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank.

Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel when the engine is hot.

Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place. Loosen

the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.

• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the

engine until fuel vapors dissipate.

• Move the unit at least 30 feet (9.1 m) from the fueling source and site

before starting the engine. Do not smoke. Keep sparks and open

flames away from the area while adding fuel or operating the unit.

WHILE OPERATING

• Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building. Breathing

exhaust fumes can be fatal. Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated

outdoor area.

• Wear safety glasses or goggles that meet ANSI Z87.1 standards and

are marked as such. Wear ear/hearing protection when operating

this unit. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

• Wear heavy long pants, boots, gloves and a long sleeve shirt. Do not

wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals or go barefoot.

Secure hair above shoulder level.

• The cutting attachment shield must always be in place while operating

the unit as a trimmer. Do not operate unit without both trimming lines

extended, and the proper line installed. Do not extend the trimming line

beyond the length of the shield.

• This unit has a clutch. The cutting attachment remains stationary

when the engine is idling. If it does not, have the unit adjusted by an

authorized service technician.

• Adjust the bull-horn handlebar to your size in order to provide the

best grip.

• Be sure the cutting attachment is not in contact with anything before

starting the unit.

• Use the unit only in daylight or good artificial light.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be in the starting position whenever pulling

the starter rope. Both the operator and unit must be in a stable posi-

tion while starting. Refer to the Starting/Stopping Instructions.

• Use the right tool. Only use this tool for its intended purpose.

• Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance.

• Always hold the unit with both hands when operating. Keep a firm

grip on both handles or grips.

• Keep hands, face, and feet at a distance from all moving parts. Do

not touch or try to stop the cutting attachment when it rotates.

• Do not touch the engine, gear housing or muffler. These parts get

extremely hot from operation, even after the unit is turned off.

• Do not operate the engine faster than the speed needed to cut, trim

or edge. Do not run the engine at high speed when not cutting.

• Always stop the engine when cutting is delayed or when walking

from one cutting location to another.

• If you strike or become entangled with a foreign object, stop the

engine immediately and check for damage. Do not operate before

repairing damage. Do not operate the unit with loose or damaged

parts.

• Stop the unit, switch the engine to off, and disconnect the spark plug

for maintenance or repair.

• Use only original equipment manufacturer replacement parts and

accessories for this unit. These are available from your authorized

service dealer. Use of any non-original factory parts or accessories

could lead to serious injury to the user, or damage to the unit, and

void your warranty.

• Keep unit clean of vegetation and other materials. They may become

lodged between the cutting attachment and shield

• To reduce fire hazard, replace a faulty muffler and spark arrestor.

Keep the engine and muffler free from grass, leaves, excessive

grease or carbon build up.

WHILE OPERATING WITH CUTTING BLADE

• Read and understand all safety warnings before operating this unit.

• Always use the shoulder harness when using the brush blade acces-

sory.

• Keep the bull-horn handlebar between the operator and cutting

attachment or blade at all times.

• NEVER cut when the cutting blade is 30 inches (76 cm) or more

above the ground level.

• Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts an object

that it does not immediately cut. Blade thrust can be violent enough

to propel the unit and/or operator in any direction, possibly causing a

loss of control. 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.

• For operation with the brush blade, do not cut anything thicker than

1/2 inch or a violent kickback could occur.

• Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is rotating.

• A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to spin after the

engine is stopped or the throttle trigger is released. Maintain proper

control until the blade has completely stopped rotating.

• Do not run the unit at high speed when not cutting.

• If you strike or become entangled with a foreign object, stop the engine

immediately and check for damage. Have any damage repaired before

attempting further operations. Do not operate unit with a bent, cracked

or dull blade. Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked or broken.

• Do not sharpen the cutting blade. Sharpening the blade can cause

the blade tip to break off while in use. This can result in severe per-

sonal injury. Replace the blade.

• Do not use the cutting blade for edging or as an edger; severe personal

injury to yourself or others may incur. Use the cutting blade only for the

purpose as described in this manual.

• Stop the engine IMMEDIATELY if you feel excessive vibration.

Vibration is a sign of trouble. Inspect thoroughly for loose nuts, bolts

or damage before continuing. Repair or replace affected parts as

necessary.

AFTER USE

• Clean cutting blades with a household cleaner to remove any gum

buildup. Oil the blade with machine oil to prevent rust.

• Lock up and store the cutting blade in an appropriate area to protect
