Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.
Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not

WARNING:
Operation of this equipment could create sparks that
can start fires around dry vegetation. A spark arrestor
may be required. The operator should contact local
fire agencies for laws or regulations relating to fire
prevention requirements.
USING THE RIGHT FUEL
The use of old fuel is the most common cause of
performance problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded
gaso- line.
NOTE: This unit has a four-cycle engine. DO NOT mix
oil with gasoline.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE
(ether). Alcohol-blended fuel ab- sorbs water. As little
as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate,
forming acids when stored. ALWAYS use fresh fuel (less
than 30 days old) with less than 10% ethanol.
NOTE: Dispose of old fuel according to federal, state
and local regulations.
Using Blended Fuels
If using a blended fuel:
• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent
WARNING:
DO NOT USE E85 FUEL IN THIS UNIT.
It has been proven that fuel containing greater than
10% ethanol will likely damage this engine and void the
warranty.
Using Fuel Additives
Use a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer or
an equivalent, to inhibit corrosion and minimize gum
deposits. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) of fuel additive per gallon
of fuel, according to the instructions on the container.
NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.

STARTING AND STOPPING

Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a
confined area.
Avoid accidentally starting the unit. To avoid serious
injury, the operator and the unit must be in a stable
position when pulling the starter rope (Fig. 10).
Do not operate the unit inside a closed environment,
such as a room or building; breathing carbon monoxide
from exhaust fumes can kill.
Inspect unit before each use. Replace damaged parts.
Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in
place and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that
are cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Make
sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and
securely fastened. Make sure the cutting attachment
shield is properly attached and in the position
recommended by the manufacturer. Use only flexible,
nonmetallic line recommended by the manufacturer.
Never use, for example, wire or wire-rope, which can
break off and become a dangerous projectile.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove
all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire,
or string which can be thrown or become entangled
in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of children,
bystanders, and pets outside a 50 ft (15 m) radius: there
is still a risk of injury from thrown objects outside the
50 ft (15 m) zone. Bystanders should be encouraged to
wear eye protection.
If you are approached, stop the engine and cutting
attachment. In the case of bladed units, there is the
added risk of injury to bystanders from being struck with
the moving blade in the event of a blade thrust or other
unexpected reaction of the saw.
