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

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.
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.

ting attachment shield and using
