WARNING!
When filling the fuel tank, make
sure the engine is stopped and
cool.
Filling the fuel tank or mixing
fuel and oil must be done in a
place where there is no risk of
fire.
CAUTION!
Some gasolines contain alcohol as
an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels
may cause increased operating
temperatures. Under certain condi-
tions, alcohol-based fuels may also
reduce the lubricating qualities of
some mixing oils. Never use any
fuel containing more than 10% al-
cohol by volume! Generic oils and
some outboard motor oils may not
be intended for use in high-perfor-
mance air-cooled 2-cycle engines
and should never be used in your
Shindaiwa engine.
CAUTION!
This engine is designed to oper-
ate on a 50:1 mixture consisting of
unleaded gasoline and premium
2-cycle mixing oil only.

5. Place cut-off wheel so the inner
bore is properly set onto the collar.
WARNING!
Using an inappropriate cut-off
wheel may cause the wheel to
break and may result in serious
injury.
6. Replace outer flange and bolt, and
then, while holding hex wrench in
the hole in belt guard, tighten the
bolt with wrench.
7. Make sure the cut-off wheel is
securely fastened. Spin the wheel to
make sure it does not wobble.
Use only fresh, clean unleaded
gasoline with a pump octane of 87
or higher.
Mix all fuel with a premium 2-cycle
air-cooled mixing oil at a 50:1 gaso-
line/oil ratio.
Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities
5 liters gasoline to 100ml mixing oil.
IMPORTANT!
Mix only enough fuel for your imme-
diate needs. If fuel must be stored
longer than 30 days and oil with fuel
stabilizer is not used, it should first be
treated with a fuel stabilizer such as
StaBil™.
1. Use a container to pre-mix gasoline
and oil. Pour oil in first, then add
gasoline.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap by turn-
ing counterclockwise.
3. Fill the tank with the mixed fuel,
then tighten the fuel filler cap se-
curely.
4. Any spilled fuel must be wiped up
completely. Make sure the unit has
no fuel leaks.
