Checking Unit Condition
WARNING!
A cutting attachment shield or other protective device is no guarantee of protection against ricochet. YOU MUST ALWAYS
GUARD AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS!
Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and
accessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer
or brushcutter. Do not make modifications
to this unit without the written approval of
Shindaiwa, Inc.
NEVER
operate the unit with the cut-
ting attachment shield or other protective
devices (harness, ignition switch, blade
retention clip, etc.) removed!
ALWAYS
make sure the cutting attach-
ment is properly installed and firmly tight-
ened before operation.
NEVER
use a cracked or warped cutting
attachment: If a properly installed attach-
ment vibrates, replace the attachment with
a new one and re-check.
ALWAYS
stop the engine immediately and
check for damage if you strike a foreign
object or if the unit becomes tangled. Do
not operate with broken or damaged equip-
ment.
NEVER
allow the engine to run at high
RPM without a load. Doing so could dam-
age the engine.
NEVER
operate a unit with worn or dam-
aged fasteners or attachment holders.
NEVER
cut with a dull blade. Doing so will
increase the risk of blade thrust and may
also cause equipment damage.
