Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Homelite UT-20601c, fuel mixture ratio, string replacement

Question
I saw where you answered in detail some carburation questions elsewhere in this forum about this trimmer model.

I am trying to find a PDF user guide for this model (also known as Homelite Bandit SX-135)

Any clue where I can find this download?  

I bought a used unit and have no clue how to service it i.e. string replacement, mixture ratios, etc. as no documentation came with the unit.

Thanks in advance for your help!
