General Maintenance
WARNING!
Before performing any maintenance,
repair, or cleaning work on the unit,
make sure the engine and cutting
attachment are completely stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before
performing service or maintenance
work.
WARNING!
Non-standard accessories,
cutting attachment, or replacement
parts may not operate properly with
your unit and may cause damage and
lead to personal injury.
Prior to each work day, perform the
following:
Carefully remove any accumulations of
dirt or debris from the muffler and fuel
tank. Check cooling air intake area at
base of crankcase. Remove all debris.
Dirt build-up in these areas can lead to
engine overheating, fire, or premature
wear.
Daily Maintenance
Clean any debris or dirt from the cutting
attachment.
Lubricate the cutters before use and
after refueling. Check the cutters for
damage or incorrect adjustment.
Check for loose or missing screws or
components. Make sure the cutter at-
tachment is securely fastened.
Check the entire unit for leaking fuel or
grease.
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws
(except carburetor idle speed adjusting
screws) are tight.
10/15-Hour Maintenance
Remove the sprocket cover and inspect
the sprocket for excessive dirt, debris,
or wear. Remove the guide bar and
clean out the guide bar groove. If the
sprocket is excessively worn, replace it
with a new one.
IMPORTANT!
For detailed maintenance information
about your Multipurpose Engine, consult
the owner’s manual that was provided
with it. If it has been misplaced, contact
Shindaiwa for a replacement.

Working techniques
Relieving cut:
To avoid tearing the bark, kickback or
pinching the bar when pruning thick
branches, always start by performing a
relieving cut (1) on the underside of the
branch.
To do this, apply the cutting attachment
and pull it across the bottom of the branch
as far as the bar nose. Perform the cross-
cut ().
Flush-cutting thick branches:
If branch diameter is more than 10cm,
first perform undercut (3) and cross-cut
at a distance (A) of about 5cm from the
final cut. Then carry out the flush-cut (4),
starting with a relieving cut and finishing
with a cross-cut.
