tered over the raised boss on blade
Holder A.
WARNING!
Holder B must fit flush
against the blade and the splines
engaged to the output shaft.
WARNING!
Do not attach any blade to
a unit without proper installation of

proper parts can cause the blade to
fly off and seriously injure the oper-
ator and/or bystanders.

(blade not shown for
clarity)
CAUTION!
Install the blade so its printed sur-
face is visible to the operator when
the brushcutter is in the normal
operating position.
The unit should now be
completely assembled and
ready for use with a blade.
IMPORTANT!
Discard blades that are bent, warped,
cracked, broken or damaged in any way.
Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is more
likely to snag and thrust.
5. Install the bolt guard and then the
blade retaining bolt. Using the com-
bination spark plug wrench/screw-
driver, tighten the bolt firmly in a
counter-clockwise direction.
6. Remove the hex wrench.
Using the combination spark plug wrench/
screwdriver, tighten the bolt firmly in a
counter-clockwise direction.

Alternative fuels, such as E15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting Shindaiwa
requirements are NOT approved for use in Shindaiwa gasoline engines.
Use of alternative fuels may cause
performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including,
but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel
lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.
