Operation; Recommended Cutting; Attachment - Shindaiwa T300 Owner's/Operator's Manual

9 Operation

(1) After starting the engine, pull
the throttle lever gradually.
The engine speed increases
and the blade will start
rotating.
(2) When the throttle lever is
released, the engine goes
back to idle speed
automatically.
(3) Operate the machine at full
throttle while cutting. Best
fuel efficiency is obtained by
releasing the throttle when
swinging back after cut.
(4) The blade rotates
counterclockwise. For best
performance and to minimize
being stuck by debris, move
the blade from right to left
while advancing on your
work.
WARNING!
Position the blade so cuts
are made between blade's
8 o'clock and 11 o'clock positions (as
viewed from above). DO NOT cut
between the 11 o'clock and 5 o'clock
positions.
WARNING!
"BLADE THRUST" is a
sudden sideway or backward
motion of the machine. Such motion
may occur when the blade jams or
catches on an object such as a sapling
tree or tree stump. BE CONSTANTLY
ALERT FOR BLADE THRUST AND
GUARD AGAINST ITS EFFECTS.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use 2-tooth blades with this
machine.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible engine damage,
do not allow the machine 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 attachment.
WARNING!
NEVER strike or slam the
spinning blade against the
wood.
WARNING!
When transporting, make
sure the engine is not running
and blade is covered with blade cover.
