Frequently Asked Questions - T252 Shindaiwa
What type of fuel should I use for the Shindaiwa T252?
Use a mixture of unleaded gasoline 95 (or 98) and 2-stroke engine oil in a 50:1 ratio. Do not use fuel containing more than 10% ethanol.
How to start the T252 grass trimmer?
Set the switch to 'I' position. Activate the choke (position 'Closed'). Pull the starter cord until resistance, then pull sharply. Once the engine is warm, deactivate the choke.
What type of line should I use?
Use a nylon line of 2 to 3 mm diameter, round or twisted shape. The head can accept single or double line. Prefer a quality line to avoid breakage.
How to replace the cutting head?
Disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove the protective cap. Use the provided locking key to prevent rotation and unscrew the head (clockwise on some models). Replace with a new head and screw it back on.
The engine stalls when hot, what should I do?
Check that the choke is in the 'Open' position. Clean or replace the spark plug. Make sure the air filter is not clogged. Adjust the idle if necessary (idle screw on the carburetor).
How to maintain the air filter?
Unscrew the filter cover. Remove the foam and wash it with soapy water. Dry it well and lightly impregnate it with engine oil. Replace the filter and cover. Clean every 25 hours of use.
What are the essential safety precautions?
Always wear gloves, safety glasses, a noise-canceling helmet, and closed shoes. Never use without the protective guard. Ensure no one is within the cutting area (15 m radius).
How to store the device during winter?
Empty the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops. Clean the exterior. Remove the spark plug and pour a spoonful of 2-stroke oil into the cylinder, then replace the spark plug. Store the device in a dry, frost-free place.
Can I use a blade instead of the line?
Yes, the T252 accepts a 255 mm blade (8-tooth or 3-tooth). Replace the line head with the blade holder and tighten properly. Note: the blade requires a double harness and reinforced handlebar for increased safety.
