REFILLING THE SPOOL WITH LINE
_WARNING: Use only 0.080
inch (2 mm) diameter round line.
Other sizes and shapes of line will not
advance properly and will result in im-
proper cutting head function or can
cause serious injury. Do not use other
materials such as wire, string, rope,
etc. Wire can break off during cutting
and become a dangerous missile that
can cause serious injury.
1. Cut a length of 25 feet of 0.080 inch
(2 mm) diameter round Craftsman
brand line.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
_WARNING: Keep others away
when making idle speed adjustments.
The trimmer head will be spinning dur-
ing this procedure. Wear your protec-
tive equipment and observe all safety
precautions.
The carburetor has been carefully set
at the factory. Adjustments may be
necessary if you notice any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
• Engine will not idle when the throttle is
released.
Make adjustments with the unit sup-
ported so the cutting attachment is off
the ground and will not make contact
with any object. Hold the unit by hand
while running and making adjust-
ments. Keep all parts of your body
away from the cutting attachment and
muffler.
Idle Speed Adjustment
Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until
engine runs without stalling (idle
speed too slow).
• Turn idle speed screw clockwise to
increase engine speed if engine
stalls or dies.
• Turn idle speed screw counterclock-
wise to decrease engine speed.
