WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
always turn your trimmer off and allow it to cool
before you clean or service it.
Use a small brush to clean offthe outside of the unit. Do not
use strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as
kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off

open flame or spark.

LONG TERM STORAGE
Ifyou plan on storing the unit for an extended time, use the
following storage procedure:
1. Drain all petrol from the petrol tank into a container with
the same 2-cycle petrol mixture. Do not use petrol that
has been stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of the
old petrol/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State and
Local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This
ensures that all petrol has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put
30 ml (1 oz) of any high quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil
into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute
the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil
from the cylinder before attempting to start the
trimmer after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or
damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and
tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for
