Checking Unit Condition Never operate the unit with the cutting attachment shield or other protective devices removed! WARNING! A cutting attachment shield or other protective device is no guarantee of protection against thrown objects. YOU MUST ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS!
Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and accessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer. Do not make modifications to the unit without the written approval of Shindaiwa, Inc.
ALWAYS stop the engine immediately and check for damage if you strike a foreign object or if the trimmer head becomes entangled. Do not operate with broken or damaged equipment.
ALWAYS make sure the trimmer head is properly installed and firmly tightened before operation.
NEVER allow the engine to run at high speed without a load. Engine operation at high speed without a load could damage the engine.
NEVER use a cracked, warped, or worn out trimmer head: replace it with a serviceable one.
NEVER operate a unit with worn or damaged fasteners or attachment holders.
ALWAYS make sure the trimmer head fits properly into the appropriate holder. If a properly installed head vibrates, replace it with new one and recheck its operation.

Hold the grass trimmer as shown in the above illustration. The trimmer head should be angled slightly into the area to be cut. To ensure maximum trimmerline service life, cut only with the tip of the trimmer line. Sweep the trimmer head left to right (22T), and right to left (22F) to trim the grass. During cutting operations, the trimmer head should be kept horizontal to the ground at all times.
