Starting A Flooded Engine

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

■■Squeezing the throttle lever makes the cutting attachment move faster; releas- ing the throttle permits the attachment to stop moving. If the cutting attach- ment continues to move when the engine returns to idle, carburetor idle speed should be adjusted (see “Adjust- ing Engine Idle.”)

2.Open the choke, put the throttle lever 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

Idle the engine briefly before stopping (about 2 minutes), then slide the ignition switch to the “O” (Engine OFF) position.

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!

Operation

Shoulder strap

WARNING!

Always wear a shoulder strap or harness when operating this unit. Using a harness with a brushcutter allows you to main- tain proper control of the unit and reduces fatigue during extended operation.

1.Hook the strap hook to the hanger on the outer tube.

2.Wear the shoulder strap so that the hook stays at your right hand side.

3.Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that you can hold and oper- ate the machine comfortably.

IMPORTANT!

Adjust the shoulder strap so the shoulder pad rests comfortably on the off-side shoulder and the cutting path of the cutting attachment is parallel to the ground. Make sure all hooks and adjustment devices are secure.

NOTE:

Using a shoulder strap when operat- ing this unit with a blade allows you to maintain proper control of the unit and reduces fatigue during extended operation.
