WARNING!
A cutting attachment shield
or other protective device is no
guarantee of protection against
ricochet. YOU MUST ALWAYS
GUARD AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS!
NEVER operate the unit with the cutting
attachment shield or other protective
devices removed!
Checking Unit Condition
ALWAYS make sure the cutting
attachment is properly installed and firmly
tightened before operation.
NEVER use a cracked or warped cutting
attachment: replace it with a serviceable one.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting
attachment fits properly into the
appropriate attachment holder. If a properly
installed attachment vibrates, replace the
attachment with new one and re-check.
ALWAYS stop the engine immediately and
check for damage if you strike a foreign
object or if the unit becomes tangled.
Do not operate with broken or damaged
equipment.
NEVER allow the engine to run at high
RPM without a load. Doing so could
damage the engine.
NEVER operate a unit with worn or
damaged fasteners or attachment holders.
Cutting Grass
CAUTION!
Operation of trimmer without a cutting
attachment shield and using excessive
line length can lead to premature clutch
failure.
Your Shindaiwa T/F grass trimmer
is equipped with a semi-automatic nylon
trimmer head.
Trimming and Mowing Grass
Hold the grass trimmer as shown in Figure
18. The trimmer head should be angled
slightly into the area to be cut. To ensure
maximum trimmer-line service life, cut only
with the tip of the trimmer line. Sweep the
trimmer head left to right (T), and right
to left (F) to trim the grass. During
cutting operations, the trimmer head
should be kept horizontal to the ground at
all times.
Edging
Tilt the handle approximately 100 degrees
to the right (from horizontal) and move
forward while holding the trimmer
vertical. See Figure 0.
CAUTION!
Do not push the rotating line into trees,
wire fences or any material that could
tangle or break the nylon lines.
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate the unit at full throttle while
cutting grass.
CAUTION!
Operation at low rpm can lead to
premature clutch failure.
