SAFETY RULES
• Do not allow a person to use this unit unless instructions are read and understood. Never
allow children to operate or play with the unit.
• Do not operate this unit when tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• 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.
• Inspect unit before each use. Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all
fasteners are in place and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that are cracked,
chipped, or damaged in any way. Make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and
securely fastened. Be sure the cutting attachment shield is properly attached, and in the
position recommended by the manufacturer. Use only flexible, non-metallic line
recommended by the manufacturer. Never use, for example, wire or wire-rope which can
break off and become a dangerous projectile.
• Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-reach. Keep cutting attachment below waist
level. Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment and hot
surfaces.
• Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building; breathing exhaust fumes can kill.
• Pour fuel outdoors where there are no sparks and flames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only
after stopping the engine. Do not smoke while fueling. Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move
at least 10 ft. (3 m) away from the fueling source and site before starting engine.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment.
Clear the area of children, bystanders and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders
and pets outside a 50 ft. (15 m) radius; outside the 50 ft. zone, there is still a risk of injury
to bystanders from being struck with the moving blade in the event of a blade thrust or
other unexpected reaction of the saw.
• Warn the operator of the danger of blade thrust.
• Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts an object that it does not
immediately cut.
• A blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the unit and/or operator to be
propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control of the unit.
• Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds.
• Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material
being cut.
1
SAFETY RULES
• The handles and shield must be mounted according to the instructions. Do not attach any
blade to a unit without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper
parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders.
Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any way. Use a sharp
blade. A dull blade is more likely to snag and thrust.
• The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor adjustments. Wear your
protective equipment and observe all safety instructions. Be sure the cutting attachment
stops turning when the engine idles. When the unit is turned off make sure the cutting
attachment has stopped before the unit is set down. A coasting blade can cause injury
while it continues to spin after the engine is stopped when throttle trigger is released.
Maintain proper control until the blade has completely stopped rotating.
WARNING: IT IS UNSAFE TO USE ANY AFTER MARKET HEAD, ATTACHMENT, ACCESSORY
OR BLADE ON THIS UNIT. USE ONLY HEADS, ATTACHMENTS, BLADES AND ACCESSORIES
MANUFACTURED BY SARLO AND INTENDED FOR THIS SPECIFIC MODEL.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE CUTTING BLADE
WARNING: The blade continues to spin
after the engine is turned off. The coasting
blade can seriously cut you if accidentally
touched.
WARNING: Always wear eye, hearing,
foot and body protection to reduce the
risk of injury when operating this unit
•
•
•
Swing the unit in the same direction as the blade spins,
which increases the cutting action.
After the return swing, move forward to the next area to be
cut and plant your feet again.
The cutting blade is designed with a second cutting edge.
You can use it by removing the blade, turning it upside
down, and reinstalling it.
WARNING: Do not use the cutting blade
for edging or as an edger. Severe personal
injury to yourself or others can result.
Before operating the unit with the cutting blade, stand in the
operating position (Fig. 3). Refer to Holding the Trimmer.
WARNING: Do not sharpen the cutting
blade. Sharpening the blade can cause the
Cutting Blade Operating Tips
To establish a rhythmic cutting procedure:
blade tip to break off while in use. This can
result in severe personal injury to yourself or
others. Replace the blade.
•
•
Plant feet firmly, comfortably apart.
Bring the engine to full throttle before entering the material
to be cut. At full throttle the blade has maximum cutting
power and is less likely to bind, stall or cause blade thrust
(which can result in serious personal injury to the operator
or others.
WARNING: Always wear gloves when working
with blade.
To reduce the chance of material wrapping around the blade,
follow these steps:
•
•
Cut at full throttle
Swing the unit into material to be cut from your right to
your left (Fig. 4)
WARNING: Blade thrust may occur when
the spinning blade contacts an object that it
does not immediately cut. Blade thrust can be
violent enough to cause the unit and/or
operator to be propelled in any direction, and
possibly lose control of the unit. Blade thrust
can occur without warning if the blade snags,
stalls or binds. This is more likely to occur in
areas where it is difficult to see the material
being cut.
•
Avoid the material just cut as you make the return swing
WARNING: Do not clear away any cut
material with the engine running or blade
turning. To avoid serious personal injury, turn
off the engine. Allow the blade to stop before
removing materials wrapped around the
blade shaft.
•
•
•
•
•
Cut while swinging the upper part of your body from right
to left.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to
return to idle speed when not cutting.
When you are finished, always unsnap the unit from the
harness before taking off the harness.
Watch out for hidden obstacles, such as rocks stumps,
roots, etc, that could cause the blade to kick back.
Make sure the “J” Handle, Shield and Shoulder Strap are
installed per assembly instructions.

risk of injury when operating this unit
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position
(Fig. 5). Check for the following:
Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts.
•
•
•
The operator is wearing eye protection and
proper clothing.
With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s hand is
holding the shaft grip.
The operator’s left arm is straight, the left hand holding
the D-handle
CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line
cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length
will make the clutch overheat. This may lead to
serious personal injury or damage to the unit.
•
•
The unit is at waist level
The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and easily
contacts the grass without the need to bend over.
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
•
•
Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of the
line to do the cutting, especially along walls. Cutting with
more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may
overload the engine.
•
•
•
Cut grass over 8 in. (200 mm) by working from top to
bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or
engine drag.
Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left
improves the unit’s cutting efficiency. Clippings are
thrown away from the operator.
Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at
the desired height. Move either in a forward-backward or
side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces the
best results.
Fig. 5
ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH
The bump head cutting attachment allows you to release
trimming line without stopping the engine. To release more line,
lightly tap the cutting attachment on the ground (Fig. 6) while
operating the trimmer at high speed.
•
•
Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
•
•
•
Following the trimming techniques
What vegetation is being cut
Where vegetation is cut
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against
foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.
release becomes more difficult when the cutting line
gets shorter.
DECORATIVE TRIMMING
Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all
vegetation around trees, posts, fences and more.
Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment
is at 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 7)
Fig. 6
Each time the head is bumped, about 1 in. (25.4 mm) of
trimming line releases. A blade in the cutting attachment shield
will cut the line to the proper length if any excess line
is released.
For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard
soil. If you attempt a line release in tall grass, the engine may
stall. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release
becomes more difficult when the cutting line
gets shorter.

SERVICE/ADJUSTMENTS
LINE REPLACEMENT
SAFETY RULES
1. Shut down the trimmer to make certain the head cannot turn while working with
the head.
2. Check mounting of cutting head on trimmer and tighten if it is loose
3. Inspect head for wear, chips or cracks. Replace parts or entire head if needed.
4. Always use line that is the correct diameter and type for this unit. Do not use
metal reinforced or metal line.
5. Make sure the two retaining pawls spread out to the periphery of the
cover windows.
6. Check the head for deflection or abnormal noise by rotating the head by hand.
Deflection or abnormal noise may cause vibrations, which will cause the cutting
line to weld together. It is also potentially dangerous.
REFILLING TRIMMING LINE
1. For replacement line, use a diameter of .095 in.
(2.4 mm). The spool is capable for a line up to 20
ft. (6 m) on the 4 in. head. Avoid using a larger line
as it may cut down the trimming performance.
2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of the
spool housing to unhook the bottom cap.
3. Take out the spool and pull off the old line. Put one
end of new line through the spool holes and pull it
until the length is equal between each part of
the line.
4. Wind up the line in the correct direction as
indicated on the spool.
5. Hook each end of the line in the slot on the edge of
the spool, and then put the ends through the
eyelets on the housing. Make sure that the spring
and the washers are in place.
6. While holding the spool against the housing, pull
the line ends to release them from the slot.
7. Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the hook on
the housing, press the cap against the housing until
it clicks.
