WARNING!

When filling the fuel tank, make
sure the engine is stopped and
cool.

Filling the fuel tank or mixing
fuel and oil must be done in a
place where there is no risk of
fire.

CAUTION!

Some gasolines contain alcohol as
an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels
may cause increased operating
temperatures. Under certain
conditions, alcohol-based fuels may
also reduce the lubricating qualities
of some mixing oils. Never use any
fuel containing more than 10%
alcohol by volume! Generic oils and
some outboard motor oils may not
be intended for use in high-perfor-
mance air-cooled 2-cycle engines
and should never be used in your
Shindaiwa engine.

CAUTION!

This engine is designed to operate
on a 50:1 mixture consisting of
unleaded gasoline and premium 2-
cycle mixing oil only.

5. Place cut-off wheel so the inner

bore is properly set onto the collar.

WARNING!

Using an inappropriate cut-off
wheel may cause the wheel to
break and may result in serious
injury.

6. Replace outer flange and bolt, and

then, while holding hex wrench in
the hole in belt guard, tighten the
bolt with wrench.

7. Make sure the cut-off wheel is

securely fastened. Spin the wheel
to make sure it does not wobble.

■ Use only fresh, clean unleaded

gasoline with a pump octane of 87
or higher.

■ Mix all fuel with a premium 2-cycle

air-cooled mixing oil at a 50:1
gasoline/oil ratio.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities

■ 1 gallon gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil.

■ 5 liters gasoline to 100ml mixing oil.

IMPORTANT!

Mix only enough fuel for your immedi-
ate needs. If fuel must be stored
longer than 30 days and oil with fuel
stabilizer is not used, it should first be
treated with a fuel stabilizer such as
StaBil™.

1. Use a container to pre-mix gasoline

and oil. Pour oil in first, then add
gasoline.

2. Remove the fuel filler cap by

turning counterclockwise.

3. Fill the tank with the mixed fuel,

then tighten the fuel filler cap
securely.

4. Any spilled fuel must be wiped up

completely. Make sure the unit has
no fuel leaks.
