A hedge trimmer has the potential to 

cause serious personal injury to the 

operator or bystanders if misused, 

abused or mishandled. To reduce the 

risk of injury, you must maintain control 

at all times, and observe all safety pre-

cautions during operation. Never per-

mit a person without training or instruc-

tion to operate this machine!

You must be physically and mentally fit 

to operate this unit safely.

WARNING!
Never make unauthor-

ized attachment installations. 

Always use genuine Shindaiwa 

parts and accessories when repair-

ing or maintaining this unit.

WARNING!
Never oper-

ate power equipment of 

any kind if you are tired or if you 

are under the influence of alcohol, 

drugs, medication or any other sub-

stance that could affect your ability or 

judgement.

Never transport the hedge trim-

 

■

mer or leave it unattended with the 

engine running. An engine that’s 

running could be accidently acceler-

ated causing the blades to oscillate.
Make sure that the blade cover is in 

 

■

place when transporting or storing 

the hedge trimmer. 
Always make sure that the cut-

 

■

ter attachment and all handles and 

guards are properly installed and 

firmly tightened before operation.
Inspect for broken, missing or 

 

■

improperly installed parts or 

attachments.
Never use a cracked or warped cut-

 

■

ter or cutter bar: replace it with a 

serviceable one and make sure it 

fits properly.
Make sure there are no missing or 

 

■

loose fasteners, and that the stop 

switch and throttle controls are work-

ing properly.

 Make sure there is always good ven-

 

■

tilation when operating the hedge 

trimmer. Fumes from engine exhaust 

can cause serious injury or death. 

Never run the engine indoors! 
Never smoke or light fires near the 

 

■

hedge trimmer. Keep the unit away 

from excessive heat. Engine fuel is 

very flammable and fire could lead to 

serious personal injury or property 

damage.
Make sure the cutters are correctly 

 

■

adjusted before operating the hedge 

trimmer (see the section ”Cutter  

Blade Adjustment” for cutter adjust-

ment procedures). Never attempt 

cutter adjustment with the engine 

running!
Before starting the engine, make 

 

■

sure the cutter is not contacting 

anything.
Always confirm safe operation when 

 

■

using the machine.
Immediately stop the engine with the 

 

■

stop switch if the machine suddenly 

begins to vibrate or shake.

Always stop the engine immedi-

 

■

ately and check for damage if you 

strike a foreign object or if the 

machine becomes tangled. Do not 

operate with broken or damaged 

equipment.
When cutting a branch that is 

 

■

under tension, be alert for spring-

back so that you will not be struck 

by the moving branch.
If a cutter should bind fast in a cut, 

 

■

shut off the engine immediately. 

Push the branch or tree to ease the 

bind and free the cutter.
Always stop the engine and allow 

 

■

it to cool before refueling. Avoid 

overfilling and wipe off any fuel 

that may have spilled.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the 

 

■

engine and muffler free of debris, 

leaves, or excessive grease.
Keep a solid stance. 

 

■

Maintain foot-

ing and balance at all times. Do 

not stand on slippery, uneven or 

unstable surfaces. Do not work in 

odd positions or on ladders. Do not 

over reach.

Hedge Clipper blades are very sharp.  Touching them may lead to severe personal injury.  Avoid touching 

blades whenever possible, and always wear gloves to protect hands
