MAINTENANCE

Carburetor adjustments, other than idle speed, must be performed by an authorized SHINDAIWA
dealer.
1. Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is
available, idle speed screw (A) should be set to the

When carburetor adjustment is completed, the cutting
attachment should not move at idle, otherwise serious
personal injury may result.
