OPERATION

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.

Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.

Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all

moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing

obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a

poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious

injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS

position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face

and body.

Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start

fires around dry vegetation. This unit is equipped with a spark

arrester to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine.

Metal cutters can also create sparks if the cutter strikes rocks,

metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for

laws or regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.

Diesel fuels and alternative fuels, such as E15 (15% ethanol),

E85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting Shindaiwa

requirements are NOT approved for use in Shindaiwa 2-stroke

or Hybrid 4-stroke gasoline engines. Use of diesel or alternative

fuels may cause performance problems, loss of power,

overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine

operation, including, but not limited to, improper clutch

engagement. Diesel or alternative fuels may also cause

premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carburetors and

other engine components.
