Pre-mix unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil in a clean 1 gallon container approved for gasoline. Recommended fuel: This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use. FUEL MIXTURE HIGH QUALITY 2-CYCLE ENGINE OIL GASOLINE OIL 1 gallon (US) 2. 6 oz. 1 Liter 20 cc (20 ml) WARNING: To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with the bottom of the engine above waist level. Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the muffler. FILLING TANK 1. NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine after first use. OPERATING THE CURVED SHAFT TRIMMER WARNING: Always shut off engine before fueling. Do not smoke! OPERATING THE TRIMMER See Figure 15. OPERATING THE STRAIGHT SHAFT TRIMMER WARNING: Always position the unit on the operator's right side. The use of the unit on the operator's left side will expose the user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.

TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string.
