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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WARNING!

Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment.

NOTE:

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