Shoulder Strap - Shindaiwa F220 Manuel D'utilisation

Standard Shoulder Strap
Adjust the shoulder strap so the shoul-
der pad rests
comfortably
on the off-side
shoulder and
the cutting path
of the blade is
parallel to the
ground. Make
sure all hooks
and adjustment
devices are
secure.
Operation
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate the engine at full throttle while
cutting. Best fuel efficiency is obtained by
releasing the throttle when swinging back
after a cut.
Units Equipped with Trimmer Heads
Your Shindaiwa F220/T220/C220 grass
trimmer is equipped with a semiautomatic
nylon trimmer head.
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate the unit at full throttle while cut-
ting grass.
CAUTION!
Do not push the rotating line into trees,
wire fences or any material that could
tangle or break the nylon lines.
CAUTION!
Operation of trimmer without a cutting
attachment shield and using excessive
line length can lead to premature clutch
failure.
CAUTION!
Operation at low RPM can lead to pre-
mature clutch failure.
Optional Brushcutter Harness
A harness provides additional protection
against blade thrust. In addition, a harness
gives significant support and comfort to
help ensure safe and efficient operation.
IMPORTANT!
When operating a brushcutter, make
sure both the handle and harness are
adjusted to the size of the operator using
the machine.
WARNING!
Always wear a shoulder strap when op-
erating this unit with a blade. A shoul-
der strap is also recommended when
using trimmer line.
n To prevent possible engine damage, do
not allow the trimmer or brushcutter to
run at high speeds without a load.
Trimming and Mowing Grass
Hold the grass trimmer as shown in the
illustrations. The trimmer head should
be angled slightly into the area to be cut.
To ensure maximum trimmer-line service
life, cut only with the tip of the trimmer
line. Sweep the trimmer head left to right
(T220/C220), and right to left (F220) to
trim the grass. During cutting operations,
the trimmer head should be kept horizontal
to the ground at all times.

NOTE:
Although a shoulder strap accessory is not
required for use with a grass trimmer, a
shoulder strap can increase operator comfort
during extended periods of operation.
NOTE:
Using a shoulder strap when operating this
unit with a blade allows you to maintain
proper control of the unit and reduces fatigue
during extended operation.
n Avoid operating the attachment at low
speeds. Doing so can lead to rapid
clutch wear. In addition, slow-speed op-
eration tends to cause grass and debris
to wrap around the cutting attachment.
Edging
Tilt the handle approximately 100 de-
grees to the right (from
horizontal) and move for-
ward while holding the
trimmer vertical.
