Daily Maintenance
WARNING!
Never repair a damaged blade
by welding, straightening, or by
modifying its shape. An altered
blade may break during opera-
tion, resulting in serious personal
injury.
DO NOT use 2-tooth or NON-
Shindaiwa approved 4-tooth
cutting blades on Shindaiwa
trimmers or brushcutters.
Blades are
not
interchangeable
between Shindaiwa edgers and
trimmer/brushcutter models.
Operating any unit with a blade or
attachment not approved for that
unit can be hazardous and may
cause serious injury.
WARNING!
Before performing any maintenance,
repair or cleaning work on the unit,
make sure the engine and cutting
attachment are completely stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire
before performing service or mainte-
nance work.
WARNING!
Non-standard parts may not oper-
ate properly with your unit and may
cause damage and lead to personal
injury.
Air Cleaner
Element
Prior to each work day, perform the following:
10-Hour Maintenance
Clean the spark plug and check the gap
at the electrode.
Every 10 hours of operation
(more
frequently in dusty or dirty conditions):
Remove the air cleaner element
from the carburetor and clean it thor-
oughly with soap and water. Let dry
before reinstalling the element.
See Figure 34.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the unit if the air
cleaner or element is damaged, or
if the element is wet.
10/15-Hour Maintenance
Every 10 to 15 hours of operation:
Remove and clean the spark plug.
Adjust the spark plug electrode gap to
0.024-inch (0.6 mm). If the plug must
be replaced, use only a Champion CJ8
or equivalent spark plug of the cor-
rect heat range. See Figure 35.
CAUTION!
Before removing the spark plug,
clean the area around the plug to
prevent dirt and debris from getting
into the engine’s internal parts.

General Maintenance
Blades
Keep blades sharp and check blade
condition frequently. If a blade’s per-
formance changes suddenly, stop the
engine and check the blade for cracks or
other damage. Replace a damaged blade
IMMEDIATELY!
Muffler
Make sure the muffler is well secured
and in good condition. A worn or dam-
aged muffler is a fire hazard and may
also cause hearing loss.
Spark Plug
Keep the spark plug and wire connec-
tions tight and clean.
Fasteners
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws
(except carburetor adjusting screws) are
tight.
NOTE:
Using non-standard replacement parts
could invalidate your Shindaiwa warranty.
Remove all dirt and debris from the
engine, check the cooling fins and
air cleaner for clogging, and clean as
necessary.
Carefully remove any accumulations
of dirt or debris from the muffler and
fuel tank. Dirt build-up in these areas
can lead to engine overheating, fire,
or premature wear.
Check for loose or missing screws or
components. Make sure the cutting
attachment is securely fastened.
Check the entire unit for leaking fuel
or grease.
