Your Shindaiwa unit may be equipped
with one of several Shindaiwa trimmer
head models, each with features for
specic applications and/or operational
requirements.
Cutting grass with a trimmer head
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.
NOTE:
For proper operation, always refer to
the instructions accompanying the trim-
mer head being used.
NOTE:
Additional hardware may be required to
mount the Fixed Line or the Flail type
trimmer heads.
CAUTION!
Do not push the rotating line into
trees, wire fences or any material
that could tangle or break line ends.
CAUTION!
Operation at low rpm can lead to
premature clutch failure.
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.
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate at full throttle while cutting
grass.
