NEVER operate the unit with the cut-
ting attachment shield or other protective
devices removed!
WARNING!
A cutting attachment shield or other

protection against ricochet. YOU MUST
ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST FLYING
DEBRIS!
Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and
accessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer.
Edging

100° to the left

CAUTION!
Operation of trimmer without a cutting at-
tachment shield and using excessive line
length can lead to premature clutch failure.
Do not make modifications to this unit with-
out written approval from Shindaiwa, Inc.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting attachment
is properly installed and firmly tightened
before operation.
NEVER use a cracked or warped cutting at-
tachment: replace it with a serviceable one.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting attachment
fits properly into the appropriate attachment
holder. If a properly installed attachment
vibrates, replace the attachment with new
one and re-check.
ALWAYS stop the engine immediately and
check for damage if you strike a foreign
object or if the unit becomes tangled. Do not
operate with broken or damaged equipment.
NEVER allow the engine to run at high
RPM without a load. Doing so could dam-
age the engine.
NEVER operate a unit with worn or dam-
aged fasteners or attachment holders.
WARNING!
Always wear a shoulder strap or
harness when operating this unit. Using
a harness with a brushcutter allows you
to maintain proper control of the unit and
reduces fatigue during extended operation.

IMPORTANT!
Adjust the shoulder strap so the shoulder pad
rests comfortably on the off-side shoulder and
the cutting path of the cutting attachment
is parallel to the ground. Make sure all
hooks and adjustment devices are secure.
Double Shoulder Harness
(optional accessory)
Adjust the double shoulder harness straps
so the shoulder pads rest comfortably on
the shoulders and the cutting path of the
blade is parallel to the ground. Make sure
all hooks and adjusting devices are secure.

angled slightly into the area to be cut. To
ensure maximum trimmer-line service life,
cut only with the tip of the trimmer line.
Cut grass by swinging the trimmer from
left to right. Keep the trimmer head hori-
zontal. See Figure 4.
