FUEL MIXTURE (See Fig. 21)
This trimmer is powered by a 2-cycle engine; the operator is required to use premixed gasoline and
2-cycle lubricant. Prepare a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle engine lubricant in a clean
container approved for storing gasoline. Only prepare quantities that can be used up within a few days.
DO NOT prepare quantities that will need to be stored for more than 30 days.
Recommended Fuel
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use.
U.S. EPA regulations make it illegal to use gasoline containing higher than 10% ethanol content
in outdoor power equipment like your LawnMaster
®
power equipment and doing so can void your
LawnMaster
®
Limited Warranty.
If the proper precautions are taken, however, gasoline containing a 10% quantity of ethanol can safely
be used in your LawnMaster
®
products.
Much of the gasoline sold throughout the United States contains ethanol. The maximum ethanol
content allowed by law for use in outdoor power equipment is limited to 10% (E10). Most small power
equipment engines are designed to use no more than a 10% ethanol gasoline blend.
If you are not sure of the ethanol content in the gasoline you are purchasing, ask the retailer. If they are
unsure, purchase your fuel from another retailer that offers gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol.
NOTE: We recommend you use a high-quality synthetic 2-cycle lubricant in this product.
Recommended specification: JASO-FC or above. Mix at 40:1 ratio or 3.2 oz. per gallon (US).
Do not use automotive lubricant or 2-cycle outboard lubricant.
Gasoline to Lubricant Mix - 40 : 1 Ratio
GASOLINE
LUBRICANT
1.0 gal. (US) (3.8 liter) 3.2 oz. (95 ml)
2.5 gal. (US) (9.5 liter) 8.0 oz. (236 ml)
Mixing Tips
■ Always start by filling an approved fuel container with half
of the required amount of gasoline.
■ Then add the entire amount of 2-cycle lubricant. Close the
container and shake to mix the lubricant with the gasoline.
■ Add the remaining amount of gasoline, close the fuel
container, and shake again.
■ Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container
before filling the fuel tank (Fig. 21).

OPERATION
FILLING THE FUEL TANK (See Fig. 22)
NOTICE: Before each use, ALWAYS shake the fuel container thoroughly to ensure that the fuel is
mixed completely.
■ Place the tool on a flat, level surface, outdoors. Ensure the fuel tank and the shaft are in the same
level so enough fuel can be filled into the fuel tank.
■ Clean the area around the fuel tank and cap to prevent any contamination.
■ Loosen the fuel tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise and remove (Fig. 22).
■ Carefully pour the fuel into the fuel tank, avoiding any spillage. Clean and check the gasket before
replacing the cap onto the fuel tank.
■ DO NOT leave the fuel tank unsealed while it contains fuel. Replace the cap immediately after filling
and inspecting the tank. Check that the cap is sealed tightly and wipe clean any spillage that may
have occurred.
NOTICE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine after first use.
WARNING
The operation of this tool requires gasoline, an extremely flammable liquid. Always turn off the engine
and allow it to cool completely before fueling. Never remove the fuel tank cap or add the fuel to the tool
while it is running or the engine is still hot. Make sure to fuel the tool outdoors on a flat, level surface.
After fueling, immediately replace the fuel tank cap and tighten it securely. DO NOT fill the fuel tank

OPERATION
■ Lift the start button cover, press the start button and keep pressed until the engine starts. Manually
turn the choke lever to the RUN position. For best results, let the engine warm up at idle for at least
1 minute, or lightly engage the throttle to speed up the process. Engaging the throttle fully before
the trimmer is warm can cause the engine to stall (Fig. 26 - 28).
■ To begin trimming, engage the throttle safety and the throttle lever. Do not engage the throttle while
pressing the start button (Fig. 29 - 30).
■ If the choke lever is left on choke, the grass trimmer will stop running in 15-30 seconds.
NOTE: If the engine does not start, manually turn the choke lever to the RUN position, and hold the
start button down until the engine starts.
■ If the trimmer continues to fail to start, refer to the Troubleshooting section on pages 37 - 38.
For warm start:
■ Make sure that the battery pack is securely in place.
■ Place the trimmer on a levelled surface, outdoors.
■ Press the primer bulb 5 times or until the bulb fills with fuel.
■ Make sure the choke lever in the RUN position.
■ Lift the start button cover, press the start button and keep pressed until the engine starts. Then
engage the throttle safety and the throttle lever to start the trimmer.
To stop the trimmer: Press the STOP switch to the stop position “O” until the trimmer stops (Fig. 31).

WARNING
The engine housing can become hot when the trimmer is being used. Do not make contact with this
part of the tool during use and whilst it is still hot. When holding the trimmer, ensure all body parts are
clear of the engine housing. Contact with this part can result in burns or other serious injuries.
WARNING
Always position the trimmer on your right side in order to reduce exposure to hot surfaces which can
cause possible serious injuries.
WARNING
Keep the bottom of the engine below waist level during operation to avoid burns from hot surfaces.

24
OPERATION
■ Hold the grass trimmer firmly with both hands, keeping your right hand on the main handle and left
hand on the assist handle.
■ The trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle at waist level. If using the
shoulder strap (sold separately), put on the shoulder strap and refer to the Installing the Shoulder
Strap section (Fig. 33).
■ Keep your balance with your feet apart.
■ Always operate the trimmer in RUN position. When cutting long grass, work in stages from top to
bottom in small sections. This will prevent the grass being cut from wrapping around the shaft and
the spool head.
■ Hold the grass trimmer head at an angle of approximately 30° to the ground. Avoid pressing it
against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the product.
■ Stop the engine if the grass becomes wrapped around the trimmer head and remove the grass once
the cutting attachment has stopped rotating.
■ Extended use of the tool at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the muffler.
TRIMMING TIPS (See Figs. 33-34)
■ Keep the tool to the right side and away from your body to avoid making contact with the hot
surfaces (Fig. 33).
■ Keep the trimmer head lowered, towards the area being cut.
■ The straight shaft trimmer cuts best when moving the unit from left to right. Passing the tool in
this direction will reduce the amount of debris thrown towards the operator. Avoid cutting in the
dangerous area as shown (Fig. 34).
■ Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force the trimmer head into uncut grass.
■ The line can wear quickly and even break when used against solid surfaces such as fences,
borders, curbs and walls made of metal, wood, stone and brick. Avoid using the trimmer against
these materials.
Fig. 33
25
OPERATION
Fig. 35
ADVANCING LINE (See Fig. 35)
This trimmer uses a line advance system which requires the operator to tap or bump the trimmer head
on the grass while running the engine at full throttle.
■ Run the engine at full throttle.
■ Tap the trimmer head on the ground to advance the line. With each tap, the line advances further. A
firm but gentle motion should be used when tapping the line on the ground (Fig. 35). DO NOT keep
the trimmer head pressed against the ground.
NOTICE: The cutting blade on the underside of the debris guard will cut the line to the correct length.
NOTICE: Line that is too short may not advance using the tapping method and may need to be done
manually.
To advance the cutting line manually:
■ Stop the engine completely.
■ Push the spool cover in while pulling on the line, until you reach the desired length.
NOTE: After each use, clean the trimmer head with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.

OPERATION
CUTTING BLADE (See Fig. 36)
The trimmer line cutting blade is attached to the underside of the debris guard (Fig. 36).
The cutting blade trims the line at a length that yields optimum cutting results. If the engine is running
faster than normal, or it appears as though the trimmer is less efficient, advance the line. This will
maintain proper performance and keep the line long enough to efficiently cut the grass.
