■
This Shindaiwa trimmer tool is
specifically designed for use on
the Shindaiwa Multipurpose Tool
Carrier. Installation and/or use on
any other model, brand or type
of power tool is not approved by
Shindaiwa. Attempts to use on
non-approved models can damage
the equipment and cause acci-
dents, serious injury or death.
■
Always make sure the Multipur-
pose Trimmer Tool is properly
installed and firmly tightened
before operation.
■
Never extend trimming line beyond
the length specified for your unit.
The Properly Equipped Operator
ALWAYS protect yourself from
hazards such as thorny brush
and flying debris by wearing
gloves and close fitting clothing
that covers arms and legs.
Never wear shorts. Don't wear
loose clothing or items such as
jewelry that could get caught
in machinery or underbrush.
Secure long hair so it is above
shoulder level.
Keep a proper
footing and do not
overreach—main-
tain your balance
at all times during
operation.
Wear sturdy footwear with
nonslip soles to provide good
footing. Steel-toed safety boots
are recommended. Never
operate unit bare-footed!
For specific maintenance and safety information about your
Multipurpose Tool Carrier, consult the owner's manual
provided with it. If it has been lost or misplaced, contact a
Shindaiwa dealer for a replacement.

a serviceable one and make sure
it fits properly.
