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

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 auto-
matically.
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 sud-
den sideway or backward mo-
tion of the machine. Such mo-
tion 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.
