Your Shindaiwa BP35 Brushcutter may
be fitted with one of several Shindaiwa
trimmer head models, each with features
for specific applications and/or opera-
tional 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 clear-
ing weeds and light brush, features
three nylon blades attached to the
head by pivots.
CAUTION!
Do not push the rotating line into
trees, wire fences or any material
that could tangle or break line ends.
Cutting Grass
CAUTION!
Operation at low RPM can lead to
premature clutch failure.
Hold the unit 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. To prevent grass clippings from
being thrown back towards the operator
or wrapping around the gearcase, swing
the unit’s trimmer head from left to right
while cutting. Keep the trimmer head
horizontal. See Figure 32.
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate at full throttle while cutting
grass.
