Shindaiwa T242 ユーザーズマニュアル

13

Your Shindaiwa unit may be equipped 

with one of several Shindaiwa trimmer 

head models, each with features for 

specific applications and/or operational 

requirements.

For proper operation, always refer to 

the instructions accompanying the 

trimmer head being used. Available 

trimmer head styles include:
n

 

Semi-automatic. Trimmer line is 

indexed when the operator taps the 

trimmer head on the ground during 

operation.

n

 

Manual. The operator indexes line 

manually with the grass trimmer 

stopped.

n

 

Fixed. The operator must stop the 

unit and add new lengths of trimmer 

line manually.

n

 

Flail. This device, designed for 

clearing weeds and light brush, 

features three nylon blades attached 

to the head by pivots.

Additional hardware may be required 

to mount the Fixed Line or the Flail 

type trimmer heads.

Hold the trimmer so the trimmer head 

is 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  

horizontal. See Figure 22.

Tilt the handle 

about 100° to 

the left (from 

horizontal) and 

move forward, 

holding the 

trimmer vertically 

as shown in Figure 

23.

CAUTION!
Operation at low RPM can lead to 

premature clutch failure.

CAUTION!
Operation of trimmer without a 

cutting attachment shield and using 

excessive line length can lead to 

premature clutch failure.

CAUTION!
Do not push the rotating line into 

trees, wire fences or any material 

that could tangle or break line ends.

Operate the unit at full throttle while 

cutting grass.

WARNING!
Before performing any main-

tenance, 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 

maintenance.  

WARNING!
Non-standard accessories, cut-

ting attachment, or replacement parts 

may not operate properly with your unit 

and may cause damage and lead to 

personal injury.
