The Properly Equipped Operator
Wear hearing protection devices and a broad-brimmed hat or helmet.
Wear close-fitting clothing to protect legs and arms.
Gloves offer added protection and are strongly recommended. Do not wear clothing or jewelry that could get caught in machinery or underbrush. Secure long hair so that it is above shoulder level.
NEVER wear shorts!
Keep a proper footing and do not overreach.
Maintain your balance at all times during operation.
Wear appropriate footwear (non-skid boots or shoes): do not wear opentoed shoes or sandals.
Never work barefooted!
Always wear eye protection such as goggles or safety glasses to shield against thrown objects.
Always wear a harness when operating a unit equipped with a blade.
Always operate with both hands firmly gripping the unit.
When operating with a blade, make sure the handle is positioned to provide you with maximum protection from contacting the blade.
Always make sure the appropriate cutting attachment shield is correctly installed and in good condition.
Keep away from the rotating trimmer line or blade at all times, and never lift a moving attachment above waist-high.
Be Aware of the Working Environment
Avoid long-term operation in very hot or very cold weather.
If contact is made with a hard object, stop the engine and inspect the cutting attachment for damage.
Make sure bystanders or observers outside the
15 meter “danger zone” wear eye protection.
Be extremely careful of slippery terrain, especially during rainy weather.
Always make sure the appropriate cutting attachment shield is correctly installed.
Reduce the risk of bystanders being struck by flying debris. Make sure no one is within 15 meters

(b) Prime the engine by repeatedly depressing the carburetor primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing through the transparent overflow return tube:
IMPORTANT!
Repeated cranking of the engine with the choke CLOSED (“ “) will lead to engine flooding. If the engine fails to start after several attempts, move the choke lever to the OPEN position and continue cranking.
(c) Push the choke lever upward
(“ closed“ position). (Cold engine.)
(f) When the engine first fires, gradually return the choke to OPEN
(“ ”) position if you have not already done so.
• If the engine stops before the choke is fully open, restart with the choke closed.
• If the engine stops after the initial firing, restart with choke closed.
(g) When the engine starts and is running, set the engine to idle by tapping the throttle lever to release the throttle lock.
Make sure the cutting attachment is clear of obstructions.
WARNING!
Never start the engine from the operating position.
Starting a Warm Engine
Starting a warm engine involves all of the steps of starting a cold engine.
EXCEPT:
• The choke should be in the OPEN position.
If the engine does not start, follow the cold engine starting procedure.
(d) Depressing the lock lever, pull the throttle lever fully and depress the throttle lock button. While depressing the throttle lock button, release the throttle lever and the lock lever. Now the throttle stays at high idle (starting speed).
(e) While firmly holding the outer tube with one hand, pull the recoil starter handle upward with your other hand.
Pull slowly at first until you feel the starter engage, then pull quickly to start the engine. Do not pull the starter rope to the end of its travel.
When the engine starts:
• After the engine starts, disengage the throttle lock and allow the engine to warm-up at idle for 2 or 3 minutes before operating the machine.
• After the engine is warm, pick up the machine and clip-on the strap.
• Advancing the throttle makes the cutting attachment rotate faster; releasing the throttle makes the attachment stop running. If the cutting attachment continues to rotate, carburetor idle speed should be adjusted.
(See next page.)
CAUTION!
Pulling the starter rope to the end of its travel may damage the starter mechanism.
(a) Slide the ON-OFF switch to the “I” position.

(2) If the attachment rotates when the engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed by turning the idle adjustment screw counterclockwise.
14
Operation
Using A Blade
(1) After starting the engine, pull
the throttle lever gradually.
The engine speed increases
and the blade will start
rotating.
(2) When the throttle lever is
released, the engine goes
back to idle speed
automatically.
(3) Operate the machine at full
throttle while cutting. Best
fuel efficiency is obtained by
releasing the throttle when
swinging back after cut.
(4) The blade rotates
counterclockwise. For best
performance and to minimize
being stuck by debris, move
the blade from right to left
while advancing on your
work.
WARNING!
Position the blade so cuts are made between blade’s
8 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions (as viewed from above).
DO NOT cut between the 11 o’clock and 5 o’clock positions.
WARNING!
“BLADE THRUST” is a sudden sideway or backward motion of the machine. Such motion may occur when the blade jams or catches on an object such as a sapling tree or tree stump. BE CONSTANTLY ALERT
FOR BLADE THRUST AND GUARD
AGAINST ITS EFFECTS.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible engine damage, do not allow the machine to run at high speeds without a load. Avoid operating the engine at low speeds. Doing so can lead to rapid clutch wear. In addition, slow-speed operation tends to cause grass and debris to wrap around the cutting attachment.

Using a Brushcutter With a Trimmer Head
You may install one of several types of Shindaiwa trimmer heads on your TC350/B450 trimmer or brushcutter, 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:
Semi-automatic. Trimmer line is indexed when the operator taps the trimmer head on the ground during operation.
Manual. The operator indexes line manually with the grass trimmer stopped.
Fixed. The operator must stop the unit and add new lengths of trimmer line manually.
Flail. This device, designed for clearing weeds and light brush, features three nylon blades attached to the head by pivots.
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate at full throttle while cutting grass.
CAUTION!
Operation at low rpm can lead to premature clutch failure.
Trimming and Mowing Grass
Hold the grass 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 unit’s trimmer head from left to right. Keep the trimmer head horizontal.

Long Term Storage
Whenever the unit will not be used for
30 days or longer, use the following procedures to prepare it for storage:
Clean external parts thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil to all metal surfaces.
Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank.
IMPORTANT!
All stored fuels should be stabilized with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.
Blade Sharpening
With the file or a grinder, file a blade as follows.
WARNING!
Sharpen only the cutting teeth of a blade. DO NOT alter the contour of the blade in any way. In order to keep the blade in balance, all cutting edges must be sharpened equally. DO NOT file the tips of the teeth too sharp.
Make sure the width of the 3 sides/4 sides is all the same.
The sharpening angle should be 45
0
approx.
Do not file the tips of the blade too sharp. Leave 0.2~0.5mm unsharpened.
To remove the remaining fuel from the fuel lines and carburetor and with the fuel drained from the fuel tank.
1. Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel is passing through.
2. Start and run the engine until stops running.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will no longer start.
CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carburetor for extended periods can cause hard starting, and could also lead to increased service and maintenance costs.
The bottom of each tooth must remain unsharpened. (Blade as viewed from bottom)
Remove the spark plug and pour about
7 grams of 2-cycle mixing oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the interior of the engine. Reinstall the spark plug.
Before storing the unit, repair or replace any worn or damaged parts.
Remove the air cleaner element from the carburetor and clean it thoroughly with soap and water. Let dry and reassemble the element.
