Checking Unit Condition
NEVER
operate the unit with the cutting
attachment shield or other protective
devices (harness, ignition switch, blade
retention clip, etc.) removed!
ALWAYS
make sure the cutting attach-
ment is properly installed and
fi
rmly tight-
ened before operation.
NEVER
use a cracked or warped cutting
attachment: If a properly installed attach-
ment 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.
NEVER
allow the engine to run at high
RPM without a load. Doing so could dam-
age the engine.
WARNING!
A cutting attachment shield or other
protective device is no guarantee of
protection against ricochet. YOU MUST
ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST FLYING
DEBRIS!
Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and
accessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer
or brushcutter. Do not make modi
fi
cations
to this unit without the written approval of
YAMABIKO CORPORATION.
IMPORTANT!
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.
NEVER
operate a unit with worn or dam-
aged fasteners or attachment holders.
NEVER
cut with a dull blade. Doing so will
increase the risk of blade thrust and may
also cause equipment damage.
