STOP SWITCH
The STOP switch is used to stop the
engine. To stop the engine, push and
hold the switch in the STOP position until
the engine stops.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from
the carburetor and fuel tines and fills
them with fuel. This allows you to start
the engine with fewer pulis on the
starter rope. Activate the primer bulb
by pressing it and allowing it to return
to its original form.
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 FULL CHOKE position. After the en-
gine attempts to start, move the choke
Iever to the HALF CHOKE position. Once
engine has started, move the choke le-
ver to the OFF CHOKE position.

FUELING ENGINE
_kWARNING: Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Before operation,
gasoline must be mixed with a good
quatity synthetic 2-,cycle air-cooled en-
gine oil. We recommend Craftsman
brand synthetic oil Mix gasoline and oil
at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob-
tained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1
gallon of unIeaded gasotine. Included
with this trimmer is a 3.2 ounce contain-
er of oil Pour the entire contents of this
container into 1 gallon of gasoline to
achieve the proper fuel mixture. DO
NOT USE automotive oi! or marine oil.
These oils will cause engine damage.
When mixing fuel, follow instructions
printed on container.
Once oil is added to gasoline, shake
container momentarily to assure that
the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always
read and follow the safety rules relat-
ing to fuel before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage.
