Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and
accessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer.
Do not make modifications to the unit
without the written approval of Shindaiwa,
Inc.
ALWAYS make sure the trimmer head
is properly installed and firmly tightened
before operation.
NEVER use a cracked, warped, or worn
out trimmer head: replace it with a
serviceable one.
ALWAYS make sure the trimmer head fits
properly into the appropriate holder. If a
properly installed head vibrates, replace it
with new one and recheck its operation.
Trimming and Mowing Grass
Figure 17
Hold the grass trimmer as shown in the
above illustration. 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 (T), and right to left
(F) to trim the grass. During cutting
operations, the trimmer head should
be kept horizontal to the ground at all
times.
ALWAYS stop the engine immediately and
check for damage if you strike a foreign
object or if the trimmer head becomes
entangled. Do not operate with broken or
damaged equipment.
NEVER allow the engine to run at high
speed without a load. Engine operation at
high speed without a load could damage
the engine.
NEVER operate a unit with worn or
damaged fasteners or attachment holders.

Edging

trimmer vertical.
