Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and accessories with your Shindaiwa

trimmer. Do not make modifications to this unit without written approval from

Shindaiwa.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and firmly

tightened before operation.
NEVER use a cracked or warped cutting attachment; replace it with a

serviceable one.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting attachment fits properly into the appropri-

ate attachment holder. If a properly installed attachment vibrates, replace the

attachment with 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 equipment.

Checking Unit Condition

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.

WARNING!
A cutting attachment shield or

other protective device is no guaran-

tee of protection against ricochet. YOU

MUST ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST

FLYING DEBRIS!

Idle the engine briefly before stopping (about 2 minutes), then slide the igni-

tion switch to the “O” (Engine OFF) position.

Stopping the Engine

Starting A Flooded Engine

clear excess fuel from the combustion chamber by cranking the engine

several times.

sciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is

directed away from your face and body.

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from

all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop

before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.
