Stopping the Engine

NEVER operate the unit with the cut-

ting attachment shield or other protec-

tive devices removed!
Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts

and accessories with your Shindaiwa

edger. Do not make modifications to

this unit without written approval from

Shindaiwa.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting attach-

ment is properly installed and firmly

tightened before operation.

Checking Unit Condition

NEVER use a cracked or warped cut-

ting attachment: replace it with a ser-

viceable one.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting attach-

ment fits properly into the appropriate

attachment holder. If a properly installed

attachment vibrates, replace the attach-

ment with new one and re-check.
ALWAYS stop the engine immediately

and check for damage if you strike a

foreign object or if the unit becomes

tangled. Do not operate with broken or

damaged equipment.

NEVER allow the engine to run at high

RPM without a load. Doing so could

damage the engine.
NEVER operate a unit with worn or

damaged fasteners or attachment

holders.

WARNING!
A cutting attachment shield

or other protective device is no

guarantee of protection against rico-

chet. YOU MUST ALWAYS GUARD

AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS!

Open the choke, put the throttle trig-

ger in the full throttle position, then

clear excess fuel from the com-

bustion chamber by cranking the

engine several times.

If the engine still fails to start or fire,

refer to the troubleshooting flow

chart at the end of this manual.
