Blade Thrust

“Blade thrust” is a sudden sideways or

backward motion of the brushcutter.

Such motion may occur when the blade

jams or catches on an object such as a

sapling tree or tree stump.

BE CON-

STANTLY ALERT FOR BLADE

THRUST AND GUARD AGAINST ITS

EFFECTS!

The blade rotates counter-clockwise.

For best performance and to minimize

being stuck by debris, move the blade

from right to left while advancing on

your work. Position the blade so cuts

are made between the blade’s 8 o’clock

and 10 o’clock positions (as viewed

from above). DO NOT cut between the

10 o’clock and 5 o’clock positions.

WARNING!

When cutting wood with

a blade, feed the blade slowly—

never strike or “slam” a spinning

blade against the wood.

WARNING!

DO NOT use 2-tooth or

non-Shindaiwa approved 4-tooth

cutting blades with Shindaiwa trim-

mers and brushcutters.

Using a blade

WARNING!

Blade thrust can occur with-

out warning if the blade snags,

stalls or binds.

WARNING!

Blade thrust is more likely to

occur in areas where it is difcult to

see the material being cut.

Brushcutter Handlebar

A brushcutter handlebar or barrier bar

helps prevent the operator from moving

forward, or the unit moving rearward,

thus preventing inadvertent bodily con-

tact with the blade. ALWAYS KEEP

THE HANDLEBAR OR BARRIER BAR

SECURELY IN PLACE ON THE UNIT!

WARNING!

Before performing any main-

tenance, 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.

WARNING!

Non-standard accessories, cut-

ting attachment, or replacement parts

may not operate properly with your unit

and may cause damage and lead to

personal injury.

IMPORTANT!

MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY

ANY REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL; HOWEVER, WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A DEALER

OR SERVICE CENTER AUTHORIZED BY ECHO, INC. THE USE OF PARTS THAT ARE NOT EQUIVALENT IN PERFOR

MANCE AND DURABILITY TO AUTHORIZED PARTS MAY IMPAIR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE EMISSION CONTROL

SYSTEM AND MAY HAVE A BEARING ON THE OUTCOME OF A WARRANTY CLAIM.

General maintenance

NOTE:

Using non-standard replacement parts could invalidate your Shindaiwa warranty.

Engine Operating Speeds

Operate the unit at full throttle while cut-

ting. Best fuel efﬁciency is obtained by

releasing the throttle when swinging

back after a cut.

■ To prevent possible engine damage,

do not allow the brushcutter to run

at high speeds without a load.

■ Avoid operating the engine at low

speeds. Doing so can lead to rapid

clutch wear. In addition, slow-speed

operation tends to cause grass and

debris to wrap around the cutting

head.
