WARNING!

Inspect front and rear handles for damaged or loose attachments before use. NEVER operate a hedge trimmer

with damaged or loose handles.

Operating Precautions

WARNING!

Never transport the hedge trim- ■

mer or leave it unattended with the

engine running. An engine that’s

running could be accidently acceler-

ated causing the blades to oscillate.

Make sure that the blade cover is in

■

place when transporting or storing

the hedge trimmer.

Always make sure that the cut-

■

ter attachment and all handles and

guards are properly installed and

rmly tightened before operation.

Inspect for broken, missing or

■

improperly installed parts or

attachments.

Never use a cracked or warped cut-

■

ter or cutter bar: replace it with a

serviceable one and make sure it

ts properly.

Make sure there are no missing or ■

loose fasteners, and that the stop

switch and throttle controls are work-

ing properly.

Make sure there is always good ■

ventilation when operating the

hedge trimmer. Fumes from engine

exhaust can cause serious injury or

death. Never run the engine indoors!

Never smoke or light res near the

■

hedge trimmer. Keep the unit away

from excessive heat. Engine fuel is

very ammable and re could lead

to serious personal injury or prop-

erty damage.

Make sure the cutters are cor-

■

rectly adjusted before operating

the hedge trimmer (see the sec-

tion ”Blades” for cutter adjustment

procedures). Never attempt cutter

adjustment with the engine running!

Before starting the engine, make

■

sure the cutter is not contacting

anything.

Always conrm safe operation

■

when using the machine.

Immediately stop the engine with

■

the stop switch if the machine sud-

denly begins to vibrate or shake.

Always stop the engine imme-

■

diately and check for damage if

you strike a foreign object or if the

machine becomes tangled. Do not

operate with broken or damaged

equipment.

When cutting a branch that is

■

under tension, be alert for spring-

back so that you will not be struck

by the moving branch.

If a cutter should bind fast in a cut,

■

shut off the engine immediately.

Push the branch or tree to ease

the bind and free the cutter.

Always stop the engine and allow

■

it to cool before refueling. Avoid

overlling and wipe off any fuel

that may have spilled.

To reduce re hazard, keep the

■

engine and mufer free of debris,

leaves, or excessive grease

Keep a Solid Stance. Maintain

■

footing and balance at all times.

Do not stand on slippery, uneven

or unstable surfaces. Do not work

in odd positions or on ladders. Do

not over reach.

CAUTION!

Always maintain the hedge trim-

■

mer according to this owner’s man-

ual and follow the recommended

scheduled maintenance.

Never modify or disable any of the

■

hedge trimmer’s safety devices.

Doing so may cause damage and

lead to personal injury

Always use genuine Shindaiwa

■

parts and accessories when repair-

ing or maintaining this machine.

Do not make unauthorized modi-

■

cations to the hedge trimmer or its

components.

Keep the cutters sharp and prop-

■

erly adjusted.

Never allow the engine to run at

■

high speed without a load. Doing

so could damage the engine.

When transporting the hedge

■

trimmer in a vehicle, tie it down

securely to prevent fuel spillage or

damage to the machine.

Always stop the engine and allow

■

it to cool before refueling. Avoid

overlling and wipe off any fuel

that may have spilled.

Never place ammable material

■

close to the engine mufer and

never run the engine without the

spark arrestor screen in place.

Always clear your work area of

■

trash or hidden debris to help

ensure good footing.

Keep the hedge trimmer as clean

■

as possible. Keep it free of loose

vegetation, mud, etc.

WARNING!

Hedge Clipper blades are very sharp. Touching them may lead to severe personal injury. Avoid touching

blades whenever possible, and always wear gloves to protect hands
