Using a Grass Trimmer T230
Your Shindaiwa T230 Grass Trimmer may be equipped with one of several Shindaiwa trimmer head models, each with features for specific applications and/or operational requirements.
NOTE:
A grass trimmer head can also be fitted to the Shindaiwa C230 Brushcutter.
For proper operation, always refer to the instructions accompanying the trimmer head being used. Available trimmer head styles include:
Manual. The operator indexes line manually with the grass trimmer stopped.
Fixed. The operator must stop the unit and add new lengths of trimmer line manually.
Flail. This device, designed for clearing weeds and light brush, features three nylon blades attached to the head by pivots.
CAUTION!
Do not push the rotating line into trees, wire fences or any material that could tangle or break line ends.
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate at full throttle while cutting grass.
CAUTION!
Operation at low RPM can lead to pre mature clutch failure.
