position at all times (Fig. 9).
3. Slowly press and release the primer bulb 10 times. Some amount of fuel should
be visible in the primer bulb (Fig. 10). If fuel can not be seen in the bulb, press and
release the bulb until fuel is visible.
4. Move the choke lever to Position 1 (Fig. 10).
5. Press down the cruise control to lock the trigger into the FAST position (Fig. 9).
6. Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 11). Place the Plug-In Power Start or Power Bit
Start into the back of the unit. Refer to the Operation section of the Plug-In Power
Start or Power Bit Start operator's manual.

equipped drill in intervals no longer than 2 seconds each until the unit starts.
10. Remove the Plug-In Power Start or drill from the unit.
11. While continuing to keep the throttle trigger in the FAST position, allow the engine
to warm up for 30 to 60 seconds.
12. While continuing to keep the throttle trigger in the FAST position, move the choke
lever to Position 3 and continue warming the unit for an additional 60 seconds
(Fig. 10). The unit may be used during this time.
NOTE: The cruise control may be released and the throttle control used normally
once the engine has been properly warmed.
NOTE: The unit is properly warmed up when the engine accelerates without hesitation.
IF... the engine hesitates, return the choke lever to Position 2 (Fig. 10) and continue
the warm-up.
IF... the engine does not start, go back to step 3.
IF... the engine fails to start after two attempts, move the choke lever to Position 3
(Fig. 10) and press down the cruise control. Then press and hold the Plug-in
Power Start or drill ON (I) button in intervals no longer than 2 seconds each
until the unit starts.
IF WARM... If the engine is already warm, start the unit with the choke lever in Position 2
(Fig. 10). After the unit starts, move the choke lever to Position 3 (Fig. 10).
Using the Cruise Control
1. Once the engine has started and warmed up, squeeze the trigger to accelerate
the unit as needed (Fig. 9).
2. For longer periods of operation and to eliminate possible finger fatigue, move the
cruise control toward the FAST position to incrementally increase or maintain the
unit's engine speed (Fig. 9). When the cruise control is pressed, the trigger will
recede into the handle.
3. To decrease engine speed, move the cruise control to the SLOW position and the
trigger will return to idle position (Fig. 9).
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING TIPS
I_ I WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury or damage to the unit,
I
make sure the blower tubes are in place before operating the unit.
• Never direct the unit at anyone while the unit is in operation.
• Always hold the unit securely when operating.
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection
is required.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours-- not early in the morning or late
at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
Usual recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible speed to de the
job and limit the total number of pieces of power equipment used at any one time.
• Check your equipment before operation, especially the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden
applications, including cleaning debris from areas such as screens, patios, grills,
porches, and gardens.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows or freshly washed cars, and blow debris
safely away.
• Use the full blower nozzle extension so the air stream can work closer to the ground.
• Clean up after using blowers and other equipment. Dispose of debris appropriately.
• Use the cruise control (Fig. 9) to keep the trigger depressed while operating to make
continuous operation easier.
APPLICATIONS
1 Use the blower for trees, shrubs, flower beds and hard-to-clean areas.
2. Use the unit around buildings and for other normal cleaning procedures.
3. Use the blower around walls, overhangs, fences and screens.
