OPERATION
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The
use of attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
Gasoline is extremely ammable. Ignited vapors may
explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
before lling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while lling the
tank. Keep sparks and open ames at a distance from
the area.
Remove the fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel
spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap
securely in place.
Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area. Wipe
up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source
of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the engine until
fuel vapors dissipate.
DO NOT USE E85 FUEL IN THIS UNIT. It has been
proven that fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol
will likely damage this engine and void the warranty.
Use a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer or
an equivalent, to inhibit corrosion and minimize gum
deposits. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) of fuel additive per gallon
of fuel, according to the instructions on the container.
NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit’s fuel tank.
Gasoline and its vapors are highly ammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and
property damage, handle it with care. Keep away from
ignition sources and open ames, handle outdoors only.
Pour fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or ames.
Slowly remove the fuel cap after stopping the engine.
Do not smoke while fueling. Wipe spiled fuel from unit.
Move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fueling source
before starting engine.
Always wear heavy, long pants, boots, gloves, and a
long-sleeve shirt. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry,
short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Secure hair so it is
above shoulder level.

FUELING THE UNIT
The use of old fuel is the most common cause of
performance problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded
gasoline.
This unit has a four-cycle engine. DO NOT mix oil with
gasoline.
Today’s fuels are often a blend of gasoline and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate, forming
acids when stored. ALWAYS use fresh fuel (less than
30 days old) with less than 10% ethanol. Dispose of old
fuel according to federal, state and local regulations.
If using a blended fuel:
Always use fresh unleaded gasoline.
Use the fuel additive STA-BIL
®
or an equivalent.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap by turning counterclockwise.
Rest the cap on a clean surface.
2. Carefully pour fuel into the tank until fuel reaches the
base of the tank spout. Avoid spillage.
3. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten by
turning it clockwise. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
NOTE: Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is
low, rell with unleaded fuel carefully without overlling
and tighten the fuel tank cap immediately.
Engine housing can become hot during pole saw
operation. Do not rest or place your arm, hand, or any
body part against the engine housing.
Extended contact with the engine housing can result in
burns or other injuries.
