Blade Stiffener Removal - Shindaiwa 78700 Owner's/Operator's Manual

7. Shindaiwa recommends leaving the T230 or PB230 loop handle on the outer
tube. However, for maximum comfort and control, it may require adjustment.
Use the 4mm Allen wrench to loosen the handle's four clamp screw. Move the
handle along the tube to a point where the best comfort an control are observed.
Retighten the clamp screws.
Blade Stiffener Removal/Install
For normal cutting, Shindaiwa strongly recommends the blade stiffener be installed.
In extreme conditions, such as commercial cutting, or when cutting thick and/or dense
branches, efficiency may be increased by trimming without the blade stiffener.
