Physical Condition --

Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:

- if you are tired or sick,

- if you are taking medication,

- if you have taken alcohol or drugs.

Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.

Eye Protection --

Eye protection goggles that meet CE requirements were included

with your trimmer. Wear these goggles whenever you operate the

shaft hedge clipper.

Face & Head Protection --

When trimming overhead, wear head protection meeting CE with a

full face shield.

Hand Protection --

Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your grip on the

Shaft Hedge Clipper handles. Gloves also reduce the transmission of

machine vibration to your hands. Special vibration reducing gloves

such as ECHO’s Pro-Comfort are designed to provide additional

comfort.

Hearing Protection --

ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever unit is

used.

Proper Clothing --

Wear snug fitting, durable clothing;

- Pants should have long legs, shirts with long sleeves.

- DO NOT WEAR SHORTS,

- DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARVES, JEWELRY.

Wear sturdy work shoes with non-skid soles;

- DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,

- DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.

Hot Humid Weather --

Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatigue which may

lead to heat stroke. Schedule heavy work for early morning or late

afternoon hours when temperatures are cooler.

SAFE OPERATION

DETERMINE OPERATION AREA

- Review the area to be trimmed. Look for hazards that could

contribute to unsafe conditions. DO NOT operate unit if any wires

(power, telephone, cable, etc.) are closer than 5 m to any part of

the operator or unit.

- Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and

animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 m while the Hedge

Clipper is in use.

Operation

Use Proper Clothing & Equipment

- Before starting the unit, equip yourself and any other person

working within the 15 m Safety Zone with the required Protective

Equipment and clothing.

- Check that loop (front) handle and shoulder strap/ or shoulder/

waist harness is adjusted for safe, comfortable operation.

Avoid Hot Surfaces

- During operation, the complete unit, especially the drive shaft

housing, power head, muffler area and gear box may become very

hot, too hot to touch. Avoid contact during and immediately after

operation.

Keep A Firm Grip

- Hold the front and rear handles with both hands with thumbs and

fingers tightly encircling the handles.

Keep A Solid Stance

- Maintain footing 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.

Adjust Cutting Angle

- Never adjust blade angle while standing.

- Only adjust cutting angle with unit resting flat on the ground, with

the switch in the “STOP” position.

Vibration and Cold --

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which

affects the fingers of certain individuals may be brought about by

exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may

cause tingling and burning sensations followed by loss of color and

numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly

recommended because the minimum exposure which might trigger

the ailment is unknown.

• Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles,

hands and wrists.

• Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm

exercises during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.

• Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where

operating the trimmer or other hand-held power equipment is not

required.

• If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the fingers

followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician

before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.

Repetitive Stress Injuries --

It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the fingers,

hands, arms and shoulders may cause soreness, swelling, numbness,

weakness and extreme pain in those areas. Certain repetitive hand

activities may put you at a high risk for developing a Repetitive

Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel

Syndrome (CTS), which could occur when your wrist swells and

squeezes a vital nerve that runs through the area. Some believe that

prolonged exposure to vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can

cause severe pain for months or even years.

To reduce the risk of RSI / CTS, do the following:

• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position.

Instead try to maintain a straight wrist position. Also, when

grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger.

• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.

• Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive

movement.

• Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.

• See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in the fingers,

hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more

likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.
