Operating Precautions
This Shindaiwa Splitboom
Attachment AH2422 is specifically
designed for use with the Shindaiwa
Multipurpose Engine. Installation
and/or use of any other model,
brand, or type of power tool is not
approved by Shindaiwa. Attempts to
use on non-approved models can
damage the equipment and cause
accidents, serious injury, or death.
Never permit a person without
training or instruction to operate this
unit.
Always make sure the cutter
attachment is properly installed and
firmly tightened before operation.
Never use a cracked or warped
cutter or cutter bar: replace it with
a serviceable part and make sure it
fits properly.
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.

WARNING!
For the details of filling fuel,
consult the owner's manual that
was provided with the Shindaiwa
Multipurpose Engine. If it has been
misplaced contact your Shindaiwa
Dealer for a replacement.
Never operate power equipment
of any kind if you are tired or if you
are under the influence of alcohol,
drugs, or any other substance that
could affect your ability or judgment.
When cutting a branch that is under
tension, be alert for spring-back so
that you will not be struck by the
moving branch.
Stop the unit immediately if it
suddenly begins to vibrate or
shake. Inspect for broken, missing
or improperly installed parts or
attachments.
Before starting the engine, make
sure the cutter is not contacting
anything.
Make sure there is always good
ventilation when operating the
articulated hedge trimmer. Fumes
from engine exhaust can cause
serious injury or death. Never run
the engine indoors!
Make sure there are no missing or
loose fasteners, and that the stop
switch and throttle controls are
working properly.
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.
Make sure the cutters are correctly
adjusted before operating the
articulated hedge trimmer (see
page 11 for cutter adjustment
procedures). Never attempt cutter
adjustment with the engine
running!
Always ensure all handles and
guards are attached and secure
when using the machine.
