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. All
U.S. forest land and the states of California,
Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ore-
gon, and Washington require by law that
many internal combustion engines be
equipped witha spark arresting screen. If you
operatein alocalewhere such regulations ex-
ist, you are legally responsible for maintaining
the operating condition of these parts. Failure
to do so is a violation 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 an autho-
rized service dealer.
D Store the unit so the cutting blade cannot
accidentally cause injury.
D Store in a dry area out of reach of children.
SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
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 or ab-
normal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has beenlinked to blood vessel dam-
age 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 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 tool.
ASSEMBLY
Examine parts for damage. Do not use dam-
aged parts.
NOTE: If you need assistance or find parts
missing or damaged, call 1-800-554-6723.
It is normal for the fuel filter to rattle in the
empty fuel tank.
Finding fuel or oil residue on muffler is normal
due to carburetor adjustments and testing
done by the manufacturer.
ASSEMBLY
Your hedge trimmer is fully assembled; no as-
sembly is required.

PRIMER BULB
The ON/OFF SWITCH is used to stop the en-
gine. To stop engine, move switch to OFF.
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car-
buretor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.
This allows you to start the engine with fewer
pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer
bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to
its original position.
CHOKE
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by
moving choke lever to the desired position. See

ing information.

mentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly
mixed. Always read and follow the safety
rules listed under HANDLE FUEL WITH
CAUTION.
WARNING: Muffler is very hot during
and after use. Do not touch the muffler or al-
low combustible material such as dry grass or
fuel to do so.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
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 en-
gine and let it run until the fuel lines and carbure-
tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod-
ucts in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call
1-800-554-6723.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
HELPFUL TIP
To obtain the correct oil mix
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of
2-cycle synthetic oil into
one gallon of fresh gas.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the engine not be
operated for longer than 30 seconds at full
throttle. Releasing the trigger and allowing
the engine to briefly return to idle speed (5 --
10 seconds) will be sufficient.
This engine is certified tooperate on unleaded
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. A 40:1 ratio is obtained
by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gal-
lon (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 oil container. Once
IMPORTANT POINTS
S Use the minimum throttle speed necessary
to effectively cut hedges for optimal hedge
trimmer performance.

S Housing Screws
S Clean the cover and the area around it to
keep debris from falling into the carburetor
chamber when the cover is removed.
S Remove parts as illustrated.
NOTE: Do not clean filter in gasoline or other
flammable solvent. Doing so can create a fire
hazard or produce harmful evaporative emis-
sions.
S Wash the filter in soap and water.
S Allow filter to dry.
S Add a few drops of oil to the filter; squeeze
filter to distribute oil.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR
WORN PARTS

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK
ARRESTING SCREEN
WARNING: The muffler on this prod-
uct contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer.
As your unit is used, carbon deposits build up
on the muffler and spark arresting screen and
must be removed to avoid creating a fire haz-
ard or affecting engine performance.
For normal homeowner use, the muffler and
spark arresting screen will not require any
service. After 50 hours of use, we recom-
mend that your muffler be serviced or re-
placed by an authorized service dealer.
S Fuel Tank -- Do not use unit if fuel tank shows
signs of damage or leaks.

Wear your protective equipment and observe
all safety precautions. When making adjust-
ments, use a screwdriver short enough to
keep your hands behind the handguard and
away from the blade. After making adjust-
ments, the blade must not moveat idle speed.
The carburetor has been carefully set at the
factory. Adjustments may benecessary if you
notice any of the following conditions:
S Engine will not idle when the throttle is re-
leased.
If you require further assistance or are unsure
about performing this procedure, contact an au-
S The blade moves at idle. Keep others away
