Checking Unit Condition
NEVER operate the unit with protective devices removed!
Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and accessories with your Shindaiwa hedge trimmer. Do not make modifications to this unit without written approval from Shindaiwa.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and firmly tightened before operation.
NEVER use a cracked or warped cutting attachment: replace it with a serviceable one.
ALWAYS make sure the cutting attachment fits properly into the appropriate attachment holder. If a properly installed attachment vibrates, replace the attachment with new one and
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.
