MAINTAIN YOUR UNIT PROPERLY

not explained in this manual per-
formed by a Sears Service Centre.
• Disconnect spark plug before per-
forming maintenance except for car-
buretor adjustments.
• Do not use a cutting blade that is
bent, warped, cracked, broken, or
damaged in any other way. Have
worn or damaged parts replaced by
your Sears Service Centre.
• Use only recommended CraftsmanCR_
cutting blades and replacement
parts; use of any other parts may
void your warranty and cause dam-
age to your unit.
• Empty fuel tank before storing the unit.
Use up fuel left in carburetor by starting
engine and letting it run until it stops.
• Hand carry the unit with the engine
stopped and the muffler and cutting
blade away from your body.
• Allow engine to cool, empty the fuel
tank, and secure the unit before stor-
ing or transporting it in a vehicle.
• Do not store the unit or fuel in a
closed area where fuel vapors can
reach sparks or an open flame from
hot water heaters, electric motors or
switches, furnaces, etc.
• Store the unit so the cutting blade
cannot accidentally cause injury.
• Store in a dry area out of reach of
children.
SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibra-
tions through prolonged use of gaso-
line powered hand tools could cause
blood vessel or nerve damage in the
fingers, hands, and joints of people
prone to circulation disorders or abnor-
mal swelling. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood ves-
sel damage in otherwise healthy
people. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, pain, loss of strength,
change in skin color or texture, or loss
of feeling in the fingers, hands, or
joints, discontinue the use of this tool
and seek medical attention. An
antivibration system does not guaran-
tee the avoidance of these problems.
Users who operate power tools on a
continual and regular basis must moni-
tor closely their physical condition and
the condition of this tool.
SPECIAL NOTICE: Your hedge trim-
mer is equipped with a temperature
limiting muffler and spark arresting
screen which meets the requirements
of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All
U.S. forest land and the states of Cali-
fornia, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New
Jersey, Oregon, and Washington re-
quire by law that many internal com-
bustion engines be equipped with a
spark arresting screen. If you operate
a hedge trimmer in a state or locale
where such regulations exist, you are
legally responsible for maintaining the
operating condition of these parts.
Failure to do so is a violation of the law.
For normal homeowner use, the muffler
and spark arresting screen will not re-
quire any service. After 50 hours of
use, we recommend that your muffler
and spark arresting screen be replaced
by your Sears Service Centre.
