Assembly

1.  Install holder A onto the output shaft. 

See Figure 12.

2.  Mount the edger blade and holder B 

onto the shaft, and then install the bolt 

guard and shaft bolt (turn bolt counter-

clockwise to install). See Figure 12.  

3.  Align the hole in holder A with the 

matching hole in the gearcase, and then 

use the hex wrench to temporarily lock 

the output shaft. See Figure 12.

4.  Use the combination wrench to firmly 

tighten the shaft bolt. Remove the hex 

wrench. See Figure 12.

1.  Remove the output shaft bolt, bolt guard, 

holder A and holder B from the gearcase.

2.  Align the cutting attachment shield 

assembly with the gearcase as shown, 

and then fit the shield onto the matching 

flange on the gearcase. See Figure 11.

The LE261 Edger should now

  WARNING!
  The LE261 is intended for right-

handed operation only! When correctly 

assembled, the cutting attachment shield 

and shaft must be oriented as shown.

3.  Install the hex-head screws with wash-

ers, then use the hex wrench to firmly 

tighten all three screws. See Figure 11.

4.  Install a washer and nut on each of the 

three screws assembled in Step 3, then 

firmly tighten each nut. See Figure 11. 

IMPORTANT!

The three hex-head screws must be firmly 

tightened before installing and tightening 

the nuts.

 WARNING!



 

ALWAYS stop the engine and allow 

it to cool before refueling. Avoid 

overfilling and wipe off any  fuel that 

may have spilled.             



  Wipe all spilled fuel and move the 

engine at least 10 feet (3 meters) 

from the fueling point and source 

before restarting!



 

NEVER start or operate this unit if 

there is a fuel leak.

IMPORTANT!

Mix only enough fuel for your immediate 

needs! If fuel must be stored longer than 

30 days and            oil with fuel stabilizer 

is not used, it should first be treated with a 

fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.

Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!
This engine is designed to operate on 

a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded 

gasoline and ISO-L-EGD or JASO FC 

class 2-cycle mixing oil only. Use of 

non-approved mixing oils can lead to 

excessive carbon deposits.

CAUTION!


  Some types of gasoline contain al-

cohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated 

gasoline may cause increased op-

erating temperatures. Under certain 

conditions, alcohol-based gasoline 

may also reduce the lubricating 

qualities of some 2-cycle mixing oils. 



  Never use any type of gasoline 

containing more than 10% alcohol 

by volume! Generic oils and some 

outboard oils may not be intended 

for use in high-performance 2-cycle 

type engines, and should never be 

used in your Shindaiwa engine.                                     



  Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline 

with a pump octane of 87 or higher.



  Mixed with 50:1 Shindaiwa ISO-L-EGD 

or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil at a 

gasoline/ratio of 50:1 (1 gallon of gaso-

line to 2.6 ozs mixing oil). Shindaiwa One 

meets or exceeds these requirements.

               Oil is a registered JASO FC clas-

sified oil and also meets or exceeds ISO-L-

EGD performance requirements.  Shindaiwa 

One is recommended for use in all Shindaiwa 

low emissions engines.  Shindaiwa One also 

includes a fuel stabilizer.



  1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil.



  5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil.

Filling the Fuel Tank  



 

NEVER start or operate this unit if 

the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel tank 

and/or fuel tank cap are damaged.



 

NEVER smoke or light any fires near 

the engine or fuel source!



 

NEVER place any flammable mate-

rial near the engine muffler!



 

NEVER operate the engine without 

the muffler and spark arrester in 

good working condition.

1.  Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
2.  Clear any dirt or other debris from 

around the fuel filler cap.

3.  Remove the fuel cap, and fill the tank 

with clean, fresh fuel.

4.  Reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten 

firmly.
