to your health.
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
may put you at a high risk for developing a repetitive
stress injury (RSI).
To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:
Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted
position.
Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest
your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you
do the repetitive movement.
Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.

Kickback safety precautions
DANGER
Caution for kickback
During cutting, contact in some cases may cause a
lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking the cutter up
and back towards the operator, which may result in loss
of control of the machine and contact with the rotating
cutter, resulting in a serious or fatal injury.
Occurrence of kickback
Do not cut in the upper half of the cutter (kickback
zone). Cutting in the kickback zone generates an ex-
tremely dangerous reaction force, which causes the
cutter to jump upward. Be sure to cut at the underside
of the cutter.
If the cutting tool gets caught in
the cutting, an extremely danger-
ous reaction force is generated,
and the machine will jump up to-
ward the operator, which may re-
sult in a serious or fatal injury.
Do not cut so that the cutter will
get stuck. Cutting in the direction
where the cutter is stuck may
cause kickback.
When cutting off the cut material, install supports, so
that the pieces do not pinch the cutter.
1. Higher height base wood
2. Lower height base wood
When inserting the cutter into an existing cut, be aware
of kickback due to resistance caused by the existing cut
and the cutter angle.
Stabilize the cutting material so that it does not move
during cutting.
Fasten pipes and other cutting objects that are easy to
rotate so that they do not move or turn during cutting.
Maintain distance from the cutter to avoid potential inju-
ry from kickback.
Kickback is likely to occur if the cutting material comes
into contact with the kickback zone under the following
conditions:
When running at high speed
When inserting a blade into an existing cut
When the cutting direction is changed during cutting
When a dull cutting tool is used
When the cutter is forced against cutting material
When the handles are not held securely
When cutting a material composed of materials of different
hardness, such as reinforced concrete (When hitting a hard
object during cutting, a strong reaction force may be gener-
ated.)
When cutting at the under-
side of the cutter, the ma-
chine also generates a
force that is pulled to the
front side. Hold the handle
firmly during the operation.
To prevent kickback
Work carefully to avoid situations where kickback is
likely to occur.
Hold the handles securely with both hands during oper-
ation.
Do not work in an unstable location or in an unreasona-
ble posture.
If progress becomes difficult, it may be caught in the
cutting material and kickback may occur easily. Sharp-
en or replace cutter.
Do not stand for cutting
directly behind machine
while cutting as kick-
back will cause it to
jump up backward.

Before you start
Cutting wheel
Wheel Speed
Wheel Speed Rating
This is the minimum acceptable wheel speed rating for this
unit. Wheels rated less than 3820 r/min must not be used on
this engine cut-off saw.
Maximum Allowable Wheel Speed
The wheel rotates at the same speed as the spindle (arbour)
on which it is mounted. The wheel must never be allowed to
rotate faster than 3820 r/min if the wheel speed is rated at
3820 r/min.
Wheel Blotters and Mounting Flanges
Wheel blotters attached to both sides of reinforced wheels are
cushions needed to equalize the pressure of the mounting
flanges from wear if slippage between the wheel and the flang-
es occurs. The blotters are 108 mm diameter. Take care that
the blotters do not become gouged or deeply scratched and
that there is no foreign material on them when mounting the
wheel.
Facts About Abrasive Wheel
1. The wheels are made by laying a strong fibre mesh material
into a form, pouring a mixture of resin and the abrasive grit
particles over the mesh, and adding a second layer of mesh
over the mixture. Then the resin and reinforcing mesh are
bonded together and cured.
2. The wheel’s ability to cut certain materials are due to the
type abrasive, size of the grit and it’s spacing. The reinforce-
ment on both sides adds strength and rigidity.
3. Always read the label on the wheel. If the wheel does not cut
well, it may be the wrong type for the material. Forcing it to
cut may result in shattering of the wheel and serious injury to
the operator.
WARNING
Do not grind on the side of an abrasive engine cut-off saw wheel, or put any side pressure on the wheel during cut-
ting. Avoid letting the saw tilt or wobble off line.
Use new, properly qualified wheels of correct diameter, thickness and mounting hole size. The wheel blotters and
the mounting flanges should be in good condition, and the mounting bolt should be tightened to the proper torque.
Select and use the appropriate wheel for your work. Refer to the label on the wheel or manufacturer's manual for
additional information.
Inspect the wheel carefully for cracks, edge damage and warping before use. Do not use any wheel that has been
dropped. A wheel once dropped cannot be trusted.
Do not mount wheel if blotters are damaged. Do not destroy cushioning effect by making mounting bolts too tight.
Never fasten while applying your weight. Otherwise the thread could be broken. Proper torque is 25 N•m (250 kgf•cm)
- 30 N•m (300 kgf•cm).
Examine wheel carefully before use. Do not use if wheel is warped, damp, cracked, chipped or cutting area shows
heat discolouration.
Use the only wheel that conforms to national and local laws and regulations such as EN13236, EN12413 and ANSI
B7.1.
Comply with safe handling instructed by wheel manufacturers.
Do not use water while cutting with a bonded-abrasive wheel unless the wheel manufacturer specifies.
Use the wheel with the safe expiration date displayed within the expiration date.

4. A wheel can stand a lot of cutting pressure as long as the
pressure is straight on and not from the side of the wheel.
This is why you always must make only straight line cuts, by
avoiding saw tilt or wobbling off line during a cut.
5. Saws intended for forcible entry should be equipped with
new wheels for each use. If the used wheels can pass the
ring test and close inspection, they may be use in training
emergency crews.
Handling and Storage of Wheels
1. Check every wheel for warping, cracks and broken edges
before mounting on the saw.
2. Warped wheels do not cut properly and may be stressed to
the point of breaking. Always store your wheels sown flat on
a smooth, flat and dry surface. When stacking many wheels,
place cardboard or paper spacers between them as a cush-
ion.
3. Moisture and heat both can cause wheel damage. Do not let
wheels lie in the sun or expose them to high heat. Keep
wheels dry at all times, and store in an area of low humidity
and moderate temperature. Protection from moisture dam-
age applies during water-flush cutting. To keep water from
penetrating the wheel, bring wheel up to cutting speed be-
fore turning on water, and maintain wheel rotation for 10 sec-
onds after shutting off water.
WARNING
Do not grind with a cut-off wheel or put pressure on the
sides.
Use only reinforced wheels, or wheels approved for this
saw by shindaiwa.
Wheels that are too thick or fit the arbour improperly
may shatter, causing serious personal injury. So may
wheels of low speed rating or those that are cracked,
wrapped, out-of-round or edge-damaged.

Assembly
Install the wheel
Replacing the adapter
Install the adapter that fits the inside diameter of the cutting
wheel. When shipped, an adapter with an outside diameter of
20 mm is mounted. If the inside diameter of the cutting wheel
to be used is 22 mm or 25.4 mm, replace the adapter as fol-
lows.
1. Insert the bar tool.
2. Rotate the drive shaft until the hole in the large pulley and
the bar tool aligned.
3. Unscrew wheel mounting bolt with the 19 mm end of the box
wrench or your fingers. Remove wheel bolt and outer flange,
leaving inner flange in place.
4. The adapter is held to the drive shaft with a snap ring. Insert
a tool like a small slotted screwdriver in the gap and remove
the snap ring.
5. Replace with an adapter that fits the inside diameter of the
cutting wheel to be used.
6. Press the snap ring in until it reaches the groove in the drive
shaft and secures the adapter. If the snap ring is deformed,
replace it with a new one.
WARNING
Read the operator's manual carefully to ensure that you assemble the product correctly.
