OPERATION

KNOW YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER R EAD THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of the various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.

ON/OFF SWITCH
The ON/OFF SWITCH is used to stop the engine. To stop the engine, move the switch to OFF.
CHOKE
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the desired position. See STARTING YOUR ENGINE for complete starting information.
FRONT HANDLE AND REAR HANDLE
The FRONT HANDLE and REAR HANDLE are used to maintain control of the unit.
WARNING:
The muffler is very hot during and after use. Do not touch the muffler or allow combustible material such as dry grass or fuel to do so.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING:
Be sure to read the fuel information in the safety rules before you begin. If you do not understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call 1-800-554-6723.
HANDLE LEVER
The HANDLE LEVER can be used to rotate the rear handle to allow operation of the unit at a 45o and 90o position.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the carburetor 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.
THROTTLE TRIGGER
The THROTTLE TRIGGER controls engine speed. Squeeze the trigger for full-speed operation; release it for idle speed.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove the 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. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Before the 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 fluid 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, follow the instructions printed on oil container. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake the container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules listed under HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION.
CAUTION: Never use straight gasoline in your unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the limited warranty.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
This engine requires the use of a minimum 87 octanes [R+M]/2 clean gasoline. IMPORTANT Use of alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can cause major engine performance and durability problems.
WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gasoline) such as E–15 (15% alcohol), E–20 (20% alcohol), E–85 (85% alcohol) are NOT classified as gasoline and are NOT approved for use in 2–stroke gasoline engines. The use of alternative fuels will cause problems such as improper clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication deficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, and internal carburetor components, etc. Alternative fuels cause high moisture absorption into the fuel/oil mixture leading to oil and fuel separation.

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.
I MPORTANT POINTS

• Use the minimum throttle speed necessary to effectively cut hedges for optimal hedge trimmer performance.
• Never attempt to use this hedge trimmer to cut hedges that have any branches with a diameter larger than 1 (2.54 cm).

OPERATING POSITION

WARNING: During operation, hold the unit with the muffler exhaust away from your body and clothes.

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

2. Remove parts as illustrated.
   NOTE: Do not clean the filter in gasoline or another flammable solvent. Doing so can create a fire hazard or produce harmful evaporative emissions.

3. Wash the filter with soap and water.

4. Allow the filter to dry.

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

6. Replace parts.

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTING SCREEN
WARNING: The muffler on this product 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. For normal homeowner use, however, the muffler and the spark-arresting screen will not require any service. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that your muffler be serviced or replaced by your authorized service dealer.
CARBURETOR IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Keep others away when making idle speed adjustments. The blade will be moving during most of this procedure. Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety precautions. When making adjustments, use a screwdriver short enough to keep your hands behind the handguard and away from the blade. After making adjustments, the blade must not move at idle speed. The carburetor has been carefully set at the factory. Adjustments may be necessary if you notice any of the following conditions:

• Engine will not idle when the throttle is released.
• The blade moves at idle.

Keep others away when making idle speed adjustments. Make adjustments with the unit resting on a level surface free of debris that can be caught in the hedge trimmer blade. Serious injury to the operator and others can occur if the carburetor is not properly adjusted. Keep all parts of your body away from the blade and muffler.
To adjust idle speed:
Allow the engine to idle. Adjust speed until the engine runs without the blade moving (idle too fast) or engine stalling (idle speed too slow).

• Turn the idle speed screw clockwise to increase engine speed if the engine stalls or dies.
• Turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise to decrease engine speed if the blade moves at idle.

WARNING: Recheck the idle speed after each adjustment. The blade must not move at idle speed to avoid serious injury to the operator or others.
If you require further assistance or are unsure about performing this procedure, contact an authorized service dealer or call 1–800–554–6723.
BLADE ADJUSTMENT
The clearance between the cutting blades must be adjusted periodically to maintain optimal performance and sharp cutting.

1. Using a wrench, loosen each bolt and nut on the blade. Nut TOP SIDE OF BLADE Wrench

2. While holding each bolt in place with a wrench, retighten the nuts.

CAUTION: If the clearance between the cutting blades is set too wide, the blades will not cut correctly. If the blades are adjusted too tight, overheating may occur.
