7.Operating the throttle trigger will automatically disengage the fast idle setting.

Starting A Flooded Engine

1. Slide the ignition switch to the “I” (ON) position.

■■Squeezing the throttle trigger makes the cutting attachment move faster; releasing the throttle permits the attach- ment to stop moving. If the cutting attachment continues to move when the engine returns to idle, carbure-

tor idle speed should be adjusted (see “Adjusting Engine Idle.”)

2.Open the choke, put the throttle trigger in the full throttle position, then clear excess fuel from the combustion chamber by cranking the engine several times.

3.If the engine still fails to start or fire, refer to the troubleshooting flow chart at the end of this manual.

Stopping the Engine

Checking Unit Condition

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

Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and accessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer. Do not make modifications to this unit without written approval from Shindaiwa.

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

NEVER use a cracked or warped cut- ting attachment: replace it with a ser- viceable one.

ALWAYS make sure the cutting attach- ment fits properly into the appropri- ate 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 rico- chet. YOU MUST ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS!
