Safety and Operation Information Labels:
Make sure all information labels are
undamaged and readable. Immediately
replace damaged or missing information
labels. New labels are available from your
local authorized Shindaiwa dealer.
Be Aware of the Working Environment
Avoid long-term operation
in very hot or very cold
weather.
Make sure bystanders or observers
outside the 50-foot “danger zone”
wear eye protection.
Be extremely
careful of
slippery terrain,
especially
during rainy
weather.
Always make sure
the appropriate
cutting attachment
shield is correctly
installed. If contact is made with a hard object,
stop the engine and inspect the cutting
attachment for damage.
When operating in rocky terrain
or near electric wires or fences,
use extreme caution to avoid contacting
such items with the cutting attachment.
Be constantly alert for objects and debris
that could be thrown either from the rotating
cutting attachment or bounced from a
hard surface.
Reduce the risk of
bystanders being struck
by flying debris. Make
sure no one is within 50
feet (15 meters)—that’s
about 16 paces—of an
operating attachment.
Beware of a coasting blade
when edging. A coasting
blade can injure while it
continues to spin after the
throttle trigger is released
or after the engine is
stopped.
