Safety Labels

 This Shindaiwa Splitboom

Attachment AH2422 is speciﬁcally

designed for use with the Shindaiwa

Multipurpose Engine. Installation

and/or use of any other model,

ﬁrmly tightened before operation.

Never use a cracked or warped

cutter or cutter bar: replace it with

a serviceable part and make sure it

ﬁts properly.

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.

For the details of ﬁlling fuel,

consult the owner’s manual that

Safety Operation

This machine is designed especially for

trimming hedge.

Never use this machine for any other

purposes. Never try to cut stones, metals,

plastics or any other hard objects. Using

for other purposes than trimming hedge

may damage the machine or cause serious

injury.

Preparations

 Wear suitable protective clothing and

equipment. See “Safety Precautions”

section.

 Choose the best working position

for safety against the falling objects

(branches, etc.).

 Start the engine.

 Put on the strap.

 Rest when you feel fatigued.

Never stand directly underneath the

branch you are cutting. Be aware of falling

branches. Note that a branch may spring

back at you after it hits the ground.

Working Position

Hold the control handle with your right

hand, and the shaft with your left hand.

Your left arm should be extended to the

most comfortable position.

NOTE:

Rest when you feel fatigued.

Using the Hedge Trimmer

Cutting close to ground from a standing

position, e.g. low shrubs. See below.

Overhead Cut

Hold the shaft upright with a 90O blade

angle to cut an upper surface of a hedge.

Applications

Preparations

Use lopping shears to cut out thick

branches ﬁrst.

Cutting Sequence

If a radial cut is necessary, cut a little at a

time in several passes.

Cutting Techniques

Vertical Cut:

Swing the blade up and down in an arc as

you move along the hedge - use both sides

of the cutting blade.

Cutting without standing directly next to

hedge, e.g. ﬂower bed between operator

and hedge.

Horizontal Cut:

Hold the cutting blade at an angle of 0O

to 10O as you swing the hedge trimmer

horizontally.

Swing the blade in an arc towards the

outside of the hedge so that the cuttings

are swept on to the ground.

Cutting without standing directly in front

of the hedge, e.g. reaching over a ﬂower

bed.

General Maintenance

WARNING!

Before performing any maintenance,

repair, or cleaning work on the unit,

make sure the engine and cutting

attachment are completely stopped.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before

performing service or maintenance

work.

WARNING!

Non-standard accessories,

cutting attachment, or replacement

parts may not operate properly with

your unit and may cause damage and

lead to personal injury.

Prior to each work day, perform the

following:

 Carefully remove any accumulations of

dirt or debris from the mufﬂer and fuel

tank. Check cooling air intake area at

base of crankcase. Remove all debris.

Dirt build-up in these areas can lead to

engine overheating, ﬁre, or premature

wear.

Daily Maintenance

 Clean any debris or dirt from the cutting

attachment.

 Lubricate the blades before use and

after refueling. Check the cutters for

damage or incorrect adjustment.

 Check for loose or missing screws or

components. Make sure the cutter at-

tachment is securely fastened.

 Check the entire unit for leaking fuel or

grease.

 Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws

(except carburetor idle speed adjusting

screws) are tight.

10/15-Hour Maintenance

 Lubricate the cutter assembly gearcase

by pumping one or two strokes of

lithium-base grease into the grease ﬁt-

ting using a lever-type grease gun.

CAUTION!

Over lubricating can cause the

gearcase to operate sluggishly and

can cause grease to leak out.

Gearcase

Grease

Fitting

50-hour Maintenance

Every 50 hours of operation

(more frequently in dusty or

dirty conditions):

 Remove and clean the cylinder cover

and clean dirt and debris from the cylin-

der cooling ﬁns.

 Lubricate the gearcase. To perform

this operation, ﬁrst remove the gearcase

from the outer tube as follows:

CAUTION!

Do not remove the D-shaped shim

washer from the gearcase clamp! The

shim washer prevents damage from

overtightening the tube clamp screw.

a. Loosen the gearcase clamp bolt.

b. Remove the index bolt from the

gearcase.

c. Slide the gearcase out of the tube.

Using a grease gun, pump lithiumbase

grease (about 10 grams) into the

grease ﬁtting on the gearcase until you

see old grease being purged from the

gearcase. Purged grease will be visible

in the outer tube cavity. Clean up excess

grease, then reassemble the gearcase

onto the outer tube. Make sure the

index bolt ﬁts into the hole on the outer

tube. Securely tighten both bolts.
