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.

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.

 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.
