Protective gear

WARNING

Repetitive stress injuries

It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of

the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause sore-

ness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to

the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities

your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you

do the repetitive movement.

 Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.

 See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in

your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI is

diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle

damage can be prevented.

Before you start

Preparing the fuel

Fuel

 Fuel is a mixture of regular grade petrol and an air-cooled 2-

stroke engine oil of reputable brand name.

Minimum 89 Octane unleaded petrol is recommended. Do not

use fuel containing methyl alcohol or more than 10 % of ethyl

alcohol.

 Recommended mixture ratio; 50 : 1 (2 %) for ISO-L-EGD

Standard (ISO/CD 13738), JASO FC,FD grade and Shindaiwa

One oil.

- Do not mix directly in engine fuel tank.

- Avoid spilling petrol or oil. Spilled fuel should always be

wiped up.

- Handle petrol with care, it is highly inflammable.

- Always store fuel in approved container.

Fuel supply

 Always refuel in a well ventilated location. Do not pour fuel in-

doors.

 Place the product and the refuelling tank on the ground when

performing the refuelling operation. Do not refuel the product

on the loading platform of a truck, or in other such places.

 Always ensure that the fuel level remains below the shoulder

level of the fuel tank when refuelling.

 There is a difference in pressure between the fuel tank and the

outside air. When refuelling, loosen the fuel tank cap slightly to

eliminate the difference in pressure.

 Always wipe up any fuel spills.

 Move at least 3m away from where you refuelled before you

start the engine.

 Keep the refuelling tank in a shaded area away from fire.

DANGER

 Fuel is highly inflammable and there is a risk of fire if it is handled incorrectly. Carefully read

and observe the precautions in the section of this manual titled "For safe use of your prod-

uct".

 Once the refuelling is complete, securely tighten the fuel tank cap and do not forget to

check that there are no leaks or discharges of fuel from the fuel pipe, fuel system grommets,

or around the fuel tank cap. If you do find fuel leaks or discharges, stop using the product

immediately and contact your shindaiwa dealer to have it repaired.

 If the fuel ignites, it could cause burns and fire.

CAUTION

There is difference in pressure between the fuel tank and the outside air. When refuelling, loosen the fuel tank cap

slightly to eliminate the difference in pressure.

 Otherwise, fuel may get spewed.

NOTE

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect use in thirty (30) days. Do not mix directly in fuel tank.

Engine operation

Engine warm-up

1. Once the engine starts, return throttle position lever forward

(idle), allow it to warm up for 2 to 3 minutes at idling (i.e. low

speed).

2. Warming the engine helps to lubricate its internal workings

Operation

Operating blower

 Read the Safety Section carefully.

1. Use only during appropriate hours.

2. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.

3. Control engine speed with throttle trigger, or for continuous

use, set engine speed with throttle position lever. Rotate

throttle position lever forward for lower speed, back for high-

er speed.

4. Set engine speed with throttle position lever.

5. Use lower speed to blow dry grass and leaves from walks,

patios and drives.

6. Additional speed may be necessary to clean leaves from a

lawn or flowerbed.

7. Higher speed may be necessary to move gravel, dirt, snow,

bottles or cans from a driveway, street, parking lot or stadi-

um.

8. When working near a house, do not blow air towards open

windows. Debris could be blown into window.

9. Using the longest pipe extension assures the air stream will

reach the ground more efficiently.

10. Loosen or break up debris with a rake to make debris easier

to move.

11. Dampen dusty areas before moving debris to reduce air-

borne dust.

12. Always stop unit using stop engine procedure.

WARNING

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, face filter mask and take all safety precautions or serious personal in-

jury may result. Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.

IMPORTANT

To avoid engine damage due to over revving, do not block blower pipe opening.

NOTE

Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the

blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris on your property. Be Smart - be a good neighbor.
