To start the Craftsman CMXGTAMA27SC Trimmer, ensure the trimmer is on a flat surface. Switch the power button to the "on" position, press the primer bulb 5-6 times, set the choke lever to "full choke," and pull the starter rope briskly. Once it starts, move the choke to "half choke" until the engine warms up.
The Craftsman CMXGTAMA27SC Trimmer requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil ratio. Mix 2.6 ounces of 2-cycle synthetic oil with one gallon of fresh unleaded gasoline.
To replace the trimmer line, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug. Remove the spool cap, take out the old line, and insert new 0.095-inch line into the holes on the spool. Wind the line evenly and replace the cap securely.
If the trimmer won't start, check the fuel level and quality, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, and confirm the air filter is clean. Additionally, make sure the primer bulb and carburetor are functioning correctly.
The air filter should be checked and cleaned after every 5 hours of use. Remove it, wash it with soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
Yes, the Craftsman CMXGTAMA27SC Trimmer can be used for edging. Rotate the trimmer head so that the line is vertical, and carefully guide it along the edge of the lawn for clean lines.
Regularly inspect the cutting head for signs of wear or damage. Clean it to remove grass and debris build-up. Replace any worn or damaged parts to ensure optimal performance.
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, and sturdy shoes. Keep bystanders at a safe distance, avoid loose clothing, and never operate the trimmer above waist height.
Excessive vibration may be due to an unbalanced trimmer head or damaged cutting line. Check the line length and replace or balance the head as needed. Ensure all components are tightened securely.
For end-of-season storage, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the trimmer thoroughly, inspect for any damage, and store it in a dry, cool place. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starts.
