VENTILATED AREA AND POINT EXHAUST AWAY.
NEVER operate the lawn edger inside any building, including
garages, basements, sheds or other confined spaces.
DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through
windows, doors, vents or other openings while operating the
edger.
DANgER
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot
see or smell.
DANgER
DO NOT allow untrained individuals or children to use this unit.
DANgER
Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or
accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can
result.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Operate equipment with guards in place.
DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or
items that could become caught.
wARNINg
– Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which
can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
– Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible
serious injuries.
– Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50’ (15m)
away when operating the lawn edger.
– Always wear sound protection (ear mufflers or ear plugs) to
reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with long term
engine sound level(s).
– 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 long hair so it is
above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in rotating
parts.
– Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
– Do not operate in poor lighting.
– Always wear a face filter mask in dusty conditions to
reduce the risk of injury associated with the inhalation of

wARNINg
Sparks can result in fire or electrical shock.
When servicing the lawn edger:
Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot
contact the plug or any other metal object.
DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed.
Use only approved spark plug testers.
wARNINg
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
ensure adequate cooling.
Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible
materials.
wARNINg
Rapid retraction of the recoil cord will pull hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones,
fractures, bruises or sprains could result. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration.
When starting engine, pull the recoil cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
CAUTION
Prolonged exposure to vibrations, also known as vibration
white finger, through use of gasoline-powered equipment,
such as this edger, could cause blood vessel or nerve damage
in fingers, hands, and joints. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this edger and seek medical attention.
fuel Safety
DANgER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
– Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
– Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
– Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand when temperatures rise.
– In the case of any petroleum gasoline fire, flames should never
be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve can be turned
OFF. By not doing so, if a fire is extinguished and the supply
of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created.
When adding or removing gasoline:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes while handling gasoline.
Always store or transfer gasoline in an EPA/CARB compliant fuel
tank.
Never pump gasoline directly into the lawn edger at the gas
station.
Always drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Always loosen fuel cap slowly to release vapor pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the fuel cap.
Always replace and tighten the fuel cap securely after fueling.
Always stop the engine and allow to cool for a minimum of two
minutes before refueling.
Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
DO NOT tip the blower and allow fuel or oil to spill.
In the event of spilled fuel, wipe the fuel from the lawn edger
and move 10 ft. (3m) away from refueling site before starting the
engine to avoid potential ignition of fuel vapors.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them
to instruct others who may use this product. If you loan this
equipment, provide these instructions also.

NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C) temperatures.
Add fuel
DANgER
Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO
NOT pump gasoline directly into the lawn edger. Use an
approved container to transfer the fuel to the lawn edger.
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel
item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away from
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of
ignition.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume. ybc
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
1. Remove the gasoline cap.
2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline can
expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left
in the tank is required for gasoline expansion, although more
than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline can be forced
out of the tank as a result of expansion if overfilled, and can
affect the stable running condition of the lawn edger.
3. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the lawn edger at the
pump. Use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline
to the lawn edger.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
wARNINg
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in gasoline splashing over the lawn edger and operator while
filling.
NOTICE
The lawn edger engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blended gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
– These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into
the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or
create potential hazards.
– If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol blended
gasoline higher than 10% by volume, improperly stored
gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.

CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser that each of its
small off-road engines (SORE) is:
2a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
2b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects
to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification for a period of two years.
3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:
3a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for
the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according
to Subsection “d” below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the
ECS Warranty Period.
3b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owners Manual shall be
warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary”,
shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall
be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first
scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such emissions-
related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to
the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
3d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the
owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
3e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered by the ECS Warranty is in
fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
3f. CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the following circumstances:
i. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S. Census 2000 without a CPE
Authorized Service Outlet AND
ii. The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100 mile limitation does not apply in the
following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and
Wyoming.
3g. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused by a failure
under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
3h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the
expected demand for such emission-related parts.
3i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty
maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce CPE’s warranty obligation.
3j. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and
shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted
parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.
