The engine must return to idle speed

whenever the throttle lever is released.

Idle speed is adjustable, and must be set

low enough to permit the engine clutch to

disengage the cutting attachment.

Idle Speed Adjustment

WARNING!
The cutting attachment must

NEVER rotate at engine idle! If the idle
speed cannot be adjusted by the proce-
dure described here, return the trimmer
to your Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

1. Place the trimmer on the ground, then

start the engine, and then allow it to idle

- minutes until warm.

. If the attachment rotates when the

engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed

by turning the idle adjustment screw

counter-clockwise. See Figure 15.

. If a tachometer is available, the engine idle

speed should be final adjusted to ,000

(±00) rpm (min

-1

).

preset at factory and cannot be serviced

in the field.

NEVER operate the unit with the cutting

attachment shield or other protective

devices removed!

Checking Unit Condition

Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and

accessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer. Do

not make modifications to this unit without

written approval from Shindaiwa, Inc.
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.

WARNING!
A cutting attachment shield or

other protective device is no guarantee
of protection against ricochet. YOU
MUST ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST
FLYING DEBRIS!
