Operation With Blades - Shindaiwa C302 Operator's Manual

OPERATION

Operation with Blades

Metal blades are very sharp and can cause severe injuries, even
if unit is off and blades are not moving. Avoid contact with
blades. Wear gloves to protect hands.
Blade use demands specific brushcutter configuration.
Operation without specified shield, barrier bar or U-handle, and
harness can result in serious personal injury. Follow installation
instructions.

*ANSI standards require brushcutters be equipped with a barrier bar or
restrictive harness. U-handle ensures a higher safety factor.
Do Not install blades on GT (Curved Shaft) model trimmers.
• Use only ECHO approved parts. Failure to use the correct parts can
cause the blade to fly off. Serious injury to the operator and/or bystanders
can occur.
• Arbor diameter of upper blade plate must match arbor diameter of blades.
