Nice video. I used it once and somehow left the manual in the trunk where it got wet and damaged. I needed this quick refresher.

if its been a good minute I always come back to watch before I use my dad's. don't want to mess something up due to ego. Normally remember it right but never hurts ya know?

I’ve had mine less than 2 years and have only used 2 tanks of gas. Last fall I ran it out of gas and put their expensive off season fuel in it to store. I’m on line now trying to find out why Ive been unable to get it started for the past 30 minutes. This procedure isn’t working for me, but my right arm is getting a great workout.

be sure the trimmer is on a level surface when you try to start it

I have one just like that and mine my problem is is that I give it all the gas it turns on and they give you all the gas and it won't go any faster and any stronger and the rope on the bottom on the wheel it doesn't even want to turn but it's on and you give it the gas and it was and it won't go what is it

[williamdrummond]

i did as instructed and it still wont start.

[cjmountian]

But how do you keep it running constantly???

[whiskysin]

Watching this video because I've been pulling it for a half hour with fresh gas and it won't start. New machine last season only used 4 times. Avoid this machine.

Stihl ruined this model. Can’t see through the gas tank. New trimmer head that you have to slam into the ground to feed more line. Great idea. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I wish I hadn’t bought it.
