IS YOUR TRIMMER READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life 
of your equipment, it is very important to take a 
few moments before you operate the trimmer to 
check its condition. Be sure to take care of any 
problem you find, or have your servicing dealer 
correct it, before you operate the trimmer.
Safety Inspection
Look around the engine for signs of oil or 
gasoline leaks. Wipe up any spills before 
starting the engine.
Replace any damaged parts.
Check that all fasteners are in place and 
secure. Tighten as necessary.
Cutting Attachment Inspection
Look for signs of damage to the cutting 
attachment (see pages 29 and 35). Replace 
any cutting attachment and parts that are 
worn out, bent, cracked, chipped, or damaged 
in any way.
If using a metal blade, be sure it is sharp. A 
dull blade is more likely to snag and thrust.
If using a metal blade on a trimmer equipped 
with a loop handle, be sure the barrier bar 
(optional part) is installed beneath the loop 
handle.
Make sure the cutting attachment is properly 
installed and securely fastened (see pages 34 
and 36).
Check that the debris shield is the correct 
shield for the cutting attachment (see 
page 36), and that it is securely installed and 
in good condition.
Maintenance Inspection
Check the oil level (see page 26). Running 
the engine with a low oil level can cause 
engine damage.
Check the air filter (see page 27). A dirty air 
filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, 
reducing engine and trimmer performance.
Check throttle cable free play (see page 28). 
The cable must be correctly adjusted and 
operate smoothly for good throttle control.
Check the fuel level (see page 40). Starting 
with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce 
operating interruptions for refueling.
 WARNING
Improperly maintaining this trimmer, or failing 
to correct a problem before operation, could 
cause a malfunction in which you could be 
seriously injured.
Always perform a preoperation inspection 
before each operation, and correct any 
problem.
