The Properly Equipped Operator
Always operate with both hands
firmly gripping the unit.
Always protect yourself from hazards
such as thorny brush and flying debris
by wearing gloves and close fitting
clothing that covers arms and legs.
Never wear shorts. Don’t wear loose
clothing or items such as jewelry that
could get caught in machinery or
underbrush. Secure long hair so it is
above shoulder level.
Always wear eye and hearing protection.
Shindaiwa recommends wearing a face shield as
additional face and eye protection.
Wear sturdy footwear with nonslip
soles to provide good footing. Steel-
toed safety boots are recommended.
Never operate unit bare-footed!
Keep a proper footing and do not
overreach—maintain your balance
at all times during operation.
Keep away from rotating
sweeper belts or bristles at
all times, and NEVER lift a
moving attachment above
waist-height.
