3. Prime the carburetor by repeatedly
depressing the carburetor primer bulb
until clear fuel can be seen flowing
through the transparent primer bulb.
The primer system only pushes fuel
through the carburetor. Repeatedly
pressing the primer bulb will not flood the
engine with fuel.

1. Place the unit on the ground. Grip the
engine cover with your left hand and
the starter handle with your right hand
(shown).
2. Pull the starter handle slowly toward
you until you feel the starter mechanism
engage.
3. Start the trimmer by pulling the starting
handle rapidly outward.
CAUTION!
The recoil starter can be easily
damaged by abuse!
 Always engage the starter before
attempting to crank the engine.
 Never pull the starter cord to its full
length.
 Always rewind the starter cord
slowly.
IMPORTANT!
When the engine starts or fires–
1. Open the choke by moving the choke
lever backward (toward the fuel tank).
2. If the engine does not continue to run,
repeat the appropriate cranking proce-
dures for a cold or warm engine.
3. When the engine starts, clear excess
fuel from the combustion chamber by
accelerating the engine several times
with the throttle lever.
4. Operating the throttle will automatically
disengage the fast idle setting.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment will move
when the engine accelerates!
Operation
 Squeezing the throttle increases engine
speed, causing the clutch to engage and
operate the cutters.
 Releasing the throttle decreases
engine speed, causing the cutters to
slow, and then stop altogether as the
clutch disengages.
 Use a sweeping motion when cutting,
and vary throttle settings often.
 Avoid cutting material larger than
1.27 cm in diameter.
If the engine does not start–
 Repeat the appropriate starting proce-
dure for a cold or warm engine.
 If the engine still fails to start, use
the procedures for "Starting a flooded
engine," on the next page.
