Cutting grass with a trimmer head

Your Shindaiwa unit may be equipped with one of several Shindaiwa trimmer head mod- els, each with features for specific applica- tions and/or operational requirements.

NOTE:

For proper operation, always refer to the instructions accompanying the trimmer 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 manu- ally 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.

Edging

Tilt the handle about 100° to the left (from horizontal) and move forward, holding the trimmer or brushcutter vertically as shown.

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 pre- mature 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 service life, cut only with the tip of the trimmer line. Cut grass by swinging the unit's trimmer head from left to right. Keep the trimmer head horizontal.

Tilt the handle about

100° to the left

CAUTION!

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

ŶOperation of trimmer without a cutting attachment shield and using exces- sive line length can lead to premature clutch failure.

ŶOperation at low rpm can lead to premature clutch failure.
