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 procedure 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 2-3 minutes until warm.

2.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.

3.If a tachometer is available, the engine idle speed should be final adjusted to 3,000 (±250) rpm (min-1).

4.Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are preset at factory and cannot be serviced in the field.

Checking Unit Condition

NEVER operate the unit with the cut- ting attachment shield or other protective devices removed!

WARNING!

A cutting attachment shield or other protective device is no guaran- tee of protection against ricochet. YOU MUST ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST FLY- ING DEBRIS!

Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts

and accessories with your Shindaiwa trim- mer. Do not make modifications to this unit without written approval from Shindaiwa, Inc.

ALWAYS make sure the cutting attach- ment is properly installed and firmly tight- ened before operation.

NEVER use a cracked or warped cutting at- tachment: replace it with a serviceable one.

ALWAYS make sure the cutting attach- ment fits properly into the appropriate attachment holder. If a properly installed at- tachment 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 equip- ment.

NEVER allow the engine to run at high RPM without a load. Doing so could dam- age the engine.

NEVER operate a unit with worn or dam- aged fasteners or attachment holders.
