Cutting grass with a trimmer head

Your Shindaiwa unit may be equipped with one of several Shindaiwa trimmer head models, each with features for specific applications and/or operational requirements.

NOTE:

For proper operation, always refer to the instructions accompanying the trim- mer head being used.

Trimmer head styles:

Semi-automatic. Trimmer line is indexed when the operator taps the trimmer head on the ground during operation.

Manual. The operator indexes line manually with the grass trimmer stopped.

Fixed. The operator must stop the unit and add new lengths of trim- mer line manually.

Flail. This device, designed for clearing weeds and light brush, fea- tures three nylon blades attached to the head by pivots.

NOTE:

Additional hardware may be required to mount the Fixed Line or the Flail type trimmer heads.

Engine Operating Speeds

Operate at full throttle while cutting grass.

CAUTION!

Operation at low rpm can lead to premature clutch failure.

Trimming and Mowing Grass

Hold the grass trimmer so the trimmer head is angled slightly into the area to be cut. To ensure maximum trimmer-line ser- vice life, cut only with the tip of the trim- mer line. Cut grass by swinging the unit's trimmer head from left to right. Keep the trimmer head horizontal.

CAUTION!

Do not push the rotating line into trees, wire fences or any material that could tangle or break line ends.

CAUTION!

Use only flexible, nonmetallic line recommended by the manufacturer. Never use, for example, wire or wire-rope, which can break off and become a dangerous projectile.

Cut from left to right

CAUTION!

■■Operation of trimmer without a cut- ting attachment shield and using excessive line length can lead to premature clutch failure.

■■Operation at low rpm can lead to premature clutch failure.
