THROTTLE LEVER
The THROTTLE LEVER is used to select
the desired engine speed and to stop
the engine. Move the throttle lever to
the '_, position for full speed opera-
tion. Move the throttle lever to the
position for idle speed. To stop
the engine, move the throttle lever to
the STOP position.
PRIMER BUTTON
The PRIMER BUTTONremoves 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 primer button by pressing
it and allowing it to return to its original
position.
CHOKE LEVER
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the
engine to aid in cold starting. Activate
the choke by moving the choke lever to
the FULL CHOKEposition. After engine
attempts to start, move the choke lever
to the HALF CHOKE position. Once en-
gine starts, move choke lever to the
RUNposition.
OPERATING TIPS
• While vacuuming or blowing debris,
hold the unit with the muffler side fac-
ing away from your body and clothes
(see OPERATING POSITION below).
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hear-
ing protection is required.
• To reduce the risk of injury associated
with contacting rotating parts, stop the
engine before installing or removing
attachments. Do not operate without
guard(s) in place.
• Operate power equipment only at rea-
sonable hours-not early in the morn-
ing or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances. Usual recommen-
dations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m..
Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the num-
ber of pieces of equipment used at
any one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate pow-
er blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen
debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces or use a mister attachment
when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blow-
ers instead of hoses for many lawn
and garden applications, including
areas such as gutters, screens, patios.
grills, porches, and gardens.
• Watch out for children, pets, open
windows, or freshly washed cars.
Blow debris away safely.
• Use the full blower nozzle extension

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
_I_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
1-800-235-5878.
FUELING ENGINE
_I_WARNING: Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Before operation, gaso-
line must be mixed with a good quality
synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.
We recommend Craftsman brand syn-
thetic oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio
of 40:1. A40:1 ratio is obtained by mix-
ing 95 ml of oil with 4 litres of unleaded
gasoline. Included with this trimmer is a
95 ml container of oil. Pour the entire
contents of this container into 4 litres of
gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mix-
ture. DO NOTUSE automotive oil or boat
oil. These oils will cause engine dam-
age. When mixing fuel, follow instruc-
tions printed on container. Once oil is
added to gasoline, shake container mo-
mentarily to assure that the fuel is thor-
oughly mixed. Always read and follow
the safety rules relating to fuel before
fueling your unit.
