WARNING!
The cutting attachment must
NEVER rotate at engine idle! If
the idle speed cannot be adjusted
by the procedure described
here, return the trimmer to your
Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.
The engine must return to idle
speed whenever the throttle lever
is released. Idle speed is adjustable,
and must be set low enough to permit
the engine clutch to disengage the
cutting attachment.
1. Place the trimmer on the ground,
then start the engine, and then
allow it to idle 2-3 minutes until
warm.
2. If the cutting attachment rotates
when the engine is at idle, reduce
the idle speed by turning the idle
adjust screw counter-clockwise.
See Figure 22.

engine idle speed should be final
adjusted to 3,000 min

.
4. Carburetor fuel mixture
adjustments are preset at factory
and cannot be serviced in the field.
