WARRANTY

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LIMITED TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON CRAFTSMAN WEEDTRIMMER

For two years from date of purchase, when this Craftsman Weedtrimmer is maintained,

lubricated, and tuned up according to the operating and maintenance instructions in the

owner’s manual, Sears Canada, Inc. will repair free of charge any defect in material or

workmanship.

If this Craftsman Weedtrimmer is used for commercial or rental purposes, this warranty

applies for only 90 days from the date of purchase.

This Warranty does not cover:

• Expendable items which become worn during normal use, such as rotating lines,

belts, air cleaners and spark plug.

• Repairs necessary because of operator abuse or negligence, including bent crank-

shafts and the failure to maintain the equipment according to the instructions con-

tained in the owner’s manual.

Warranty service is available by returning the Craftsman Weedtrimmer to the nearest

Sears Service Centre/Department in Canada. This warranty applies only while this prod-

uct is used in Canada.

This warranty is in addition to any statutory warranty and does not exclude or limit legal

rights you may have but shall run concurrently with applicable provincial legislation. Fur-

thermore, some provinces do NOT allow limitation on how long an implied warranty will

last so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Sears Canada, Inc., Toronto, Ontario M5B 2B8

WARNING: This trimmer is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should

not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered

land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting ap-

plicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in

effective working order by the operator.

In the state of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California

Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on

federal lands. A spark arrester for the mufﬂer is available through your nearest Sears

Service Centre/Department in Canada (see the REPAIR PARTS section of this manual).

SAFETY RULES

Look for this symbol to point out im-

portant safety precautions. It means

CAUTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!!

YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

WARNING: In order to prevent ac-

cidental starting when setting up, trans-

porting, adjusting or making repairs,

always disconnect spark plug wire and

place wire where it cannot contact plug.

CAUTION: Mufﬂer and other engine

parts become extremely hot during

operation and remain hot after engine has

stopped. To avoid severe burns on contact,

stay away from these areas.

trousers or slacks. Do not wear shorts.

• Do not wear loose clothing which could

get caught in this equipment.

• Do not operate the machine when bare-

foot or wearing open sandals. Always

wear work gloves and sturdy footwear.

Leather work shoes or short boots work

well for most people. These will protect

the operator’s ankles and shins from

small sticks, splinters, and other debris,

and improve traction.

• Do not pull machine backwards un-

less absolutely necessary. Always look

down and behind before and while mov-

ing backwards.

• Do not operate the machine without

proper guards, plates or other safety

protective devices in place.

• See manufacturer’s instructions for

proper operation and installation of

accessories. Only use accessories ap-

proved by the manufacturer.

• Never use blades, wire, or ﬂailing devices.

This unit is designed for line trimmer use

only. Use of other accessories or attach-

ments will increase the risk of injury.

• Stop the rotating trimmer head when

crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.

Wait for the cutting lines to stop rotating.

• Stop the engine (motor) whenever you

leave the equipment and allow it to cool,

before cleaning, repairing or inspecting

the unit. Be sure the trimmer head and

all moving parts have stopped.

• Operate only in daylight or good artiﬁcial

light.

• Do not operate the machine while under

the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs.

• Never operate machine in wet grass. Al-

ways be sure of your footing: keep a ﬁrm

hold on the handle and walk; never run.

• If the equipment should start to vibrate

abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and

check immediately for the cause. Vibra-

tion is generally a warning of trouble.

• Always wear safety goggles or safety

glasses with side shields when oper-

ating machine.

The operation of any trimmer can result in foreign objects thrown into

the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety

glasses or eye shields while operating your trimmer or performing any

adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a

wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instruc-

tions on the machine and in the manual

before starting. Be thoroughly familiar

with the controls and the proper use of

the machine before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under

rotating parts.

• Keep all parts of your body away from

mufﬂer and spinning line. A hot mufﬂer

can cause serious burns.

• Only allow responsible individuals, who

are familiar with the instructions, to

operate the machine.

• Stay away from breakable objects, such

as house windows, auto glass, green-

houses, etc.

• Cleartheareaofobjectssuchasrocks,toys,

wire, bones, sticks, etc., which could be

picked up and thrown by the spinning lines.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people

before trimming, particularly small chil-

dren and pets. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

• Wear appropriate clothing such as a long-

sleeved shirt or jacket. Also wear long

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to slip

and fall accidents which can result in

severe injury. All slopes require extra cau-

tion. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not

trim it.

DO:

• Trim across the face of slopes: never up

and down. Exercise extreme caution

when changing direction on slopes.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

DO NOT:

• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or

embankments. The operator could lose

footing or balance.

• Do not trim excessively steep slopes.

• Do not trim on wet grass. Reduced foot-

ing could cause slipping.

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the machine

and the trimming activity. Never assume

that children will remain where you last

saw them.

• Keep children out of the trimming area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children

enter the area.

• Before and while moving backwards,

look behind and down for small children.

• Never allow children to operate the

machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and

other fuels. They are ﬂammable and

vapors are explosive.

- Use only an approved container.

- Never remove gas cap or add fuel

with the engine running. Allow

engine to cool before refueling.

Do not smoke.

- Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel

container inside where there is an

open ﬂame, such as a water heater.

- Move away from fueling site before

starting engine.

• Never run a machine inside a closed

area.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with

the engine (motor) running. Disconnect

the spark plug wire, and keep the wire

away from the plug to prevent accidental

starting.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially trimmer

head and engine bolts, tight and keep

equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices.

Check their proper operation regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or

other debris buildup. Clean oil or fuel

spillage. Allow machine to cool before

cleaning or storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you

strike an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

• Do not change the engine governor set-

ting or overspeed the engine.

• Clean and replace safety and instruction

decals as necessary.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRIMMER

ENGINE SPEED

The engine speed is controlled by a throt-

tle located on the side of the upper handle.

FAST position is for starting and normal

trimming. SLOW is for light trimming and

fuel economy. STOP is for stopping the

engine.

The operation of any trimmer can result in

foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,

which can result in severe eye damage.

Always wear safety glasses or eye shields

while operating your trimmer or performing

any adjustments or repairs. We recom-

mend standard safety glasses or a wide

vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

TO ADJUST TRIMMING HEIGHT

CAUTION: Stop the engine and wait for

all moving parts to stop. Disconnect spark

plug wire from spark plug and place wire

where it cannot come in contact with plug.

The height of cut can be set to six (6) dif-

ferent positions ranging from 1-1/2 inches

to 3 inches. Recommended cutting height

for the average yard is 2 inches.

1. To adjust trimming height, push in the

locking plate tab and move trimmer

head up or down to desired position.

2. Release tab and be sure head is

locked into one of the six (6) height

positions.

TRIMMER HEAD DRIVE CONTROL

Your trimmer is equipped with a trimmer

head drive control bar which will require

the operator to be positioned behind the

trimmer handle to operate the trimmer.

• Trimmer head rotation is controlled by

holding the trimmer head control bar

down to the handle.

• Trimmer head rotation will stop when

the control bar is released.

STOP

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

ADD OIL

Your trimmer is shipped without oil in the

engine. For type and grade of oil to use,

see “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section

of this manual.

CAUTION: DO NOT overﬁll engine with

oil, or it will smoke on startup.

1. Be sure trimmer is level and area

around oil ﬁll is clean.

2. Remove oil dipstick from oil ﬁll spout.

Make sure that rim of spout is clean.

3. You receive a container of oil with the

unit. Slowly pour the entire container

down the oil ﬁll spout into the engine.

TRIMMING TIPS

• Set the throttle control in the FAST posi-

tion. If the weeds or grass are tall and

thick, operate the trimmer at a slower

walking speed.

• Frequently clean the underside of the

trimmer to remove any grass build up.

Keep top of engine around starter clear

and clean of grass clippings and chaff.

This will help engine air ﬂow and extend

engine life.

• For best results and longer lasting

line, use the ends of the line to do the

cutting. This is easily done by moving

slowly through very thick and heavy

weeds.

• Use the left side of trimmer when trim-

ming along fences, walls, ﬂowerbeds

and other such objects.

• If trimmer lines become too short, it will

take longer to complete the job. If trim-

mer lines are worn to less than half their

original length, they should be replaced.

See “TO REPLACE TRIMMER LINE” in

the Maintenance section of this manual.

• Trimmer head contact with concrete, as-

phalt or other hard surfaces may cause

premature wear of the ball on bottom of

trimmer head.

IMPORTANT:

• Check oil level before each use. Add oil

if needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.

• Change the oil after every 25 hours of

operation or each season. You may

need to change the oil more often under

dusty, dirty conditions.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank ﬁller neck.

Do not overﬁll. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87

octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Pur-

chase fuel in quantities that can be used

within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels

(called gasohol or using ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture which

leads to separation and formation of acids

during storage. Acidic gas can damage

the fuel system of an engine while in

storage. To avoid engine problems, the

fuel system should be emptied before

storage of 30 days or longer. Drain

the gas tank, start the engine and let it

run until the fuel lines and carburetor

are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

See Storage Instructions for additional

information. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open ﬂame.

2. Move throttle control lever to FAST

position.

3. Hold upper handle ﬁrmly and pull

starter handle quickly. Do not allow

starter rope to snap back.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may be

necessary to repeat priming steps. In

warmer weather overpriming may cause

ﬂooding and engine will not start. If you

do ﬂood engine, wait a few minutes before

attempting to start and DO NOT repeat

priming steps.

TO STOP ENGINE

• To stop engine, move throttle control

lever to STOP position.

TO START ENGINE

1. To start a cold engine, push primer three

(3) times before trying to start. Use a

ﬁrm push. This step is not usually neces-

sary when starting an engine which has

already run for a few minutes.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this trimmer does not cover

items that have been subjected to operator

abuse or negligence. To receive full value

from the warranty, operator must maintain

trimmer as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made

periodically to properly maintain your unit.

At least once a season, check to see if

you should make any of the adjustments

described in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

• At least once a year, replace the spark

plug and replace air ﬁlter element. A

new spark plug and clean/new air ﬁlter

element assure proper air-fuel mixture

and help your engine run better and

last longer.

• Follow the maintenance schedule in

this manual.

BEFORE EACH USE

1. Check engine oil level.

2. Check for loose fasteners.

3. Clean under engine cover.

LUBRICATION

To prolong the useful life of your trimmer,

change engine oil as recommended in this

section of this Owner’s Manual.

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease plastic

wheel bearings. Viscous lubricants will

attract dust and dirt that will shorten the

life of the self- lubricating bearings. If you

feel they must be lubricated, use only a dry,

powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.

TIRES

• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect

control chemicals which can harm rub-

ber.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp

objects and other hazards that may

cause tire damage.

TRIMMER LINE

For best results, replace trimmer lines

when they have worn to half their original

length. Use .155 inch diameter trimmer

line. Cut new trimmer line length to 18-3/4

inches. After new line is installed on

trimmer head, check all lines so they do

not vary more then one (1) inch in length.

This is important to make sure the trim-

mer head is balanced and will not vibrate

abnormally.

WARNING:Use only the speciﬁed trimmer

line.Do not use other materials such as wire,

string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during

trimming and become a dangerous missile

that can cause serious injury.

TO CUT LINE TO PROPER LENGTH

NOTE: Trimmer line pre-cut to proper

length is available for this unit; see the

Repair Parts section of this manual.

If trimmer line is purchased in bulk, it must

be cut to 18-3/4 inches before using. Use

the built-in length guage as follows:

1. From front of trimmer, place the end of

spooled trimmer line at the mark on the

side of the debris shield as shown.

2. Wrap trimmer line around front of chas-

sis cover to other side and cut at the

“22” mark (your unit’s width of cut).

TO REPLACE TRIMMER LINE

1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark

plug and place wire where it cannot

come in contact with plug.

2. Remove worn trimmer line from line

carrier plate.

3. Fold new, cut to length, trimmer line in half

and insert folded end through carrier plate

opening to back side of retainer clip.

4. With folded end of line at back side of

retainer clip, pull line outward until line

is fully seated under the retainer clip.

5. Repeat on other side of carrier plate.

6. Check all lines to be sure they are the

same length.

7. Reconnect spark plug wire to plug.
