SAFETY SYMBOLS AND WARNINGS

and trees.

PAS Pro Attachment Series and SB units can be

equipped with a wide variety of lawn and landscaping

attachments for tasks ranging from edging to pruning,

allowing operators to perform an entire range of appli-

cations with just one powerhead.

PE Power Edgers provide precise edging action for maintaining lawn

borders in residential and commercial landscaping. Edgers can also

be equipped with an attachment that quickly cleans out cracks and

joints in sidewalks, driveways, paved areas, and other hard surfaces.

When used properly, these tools save time, reduce effort, and make

difcult landscaping tasks easy. If handled carelessly or used im-

properly, they can cause severe injury or death.

• Read and understand this Safety Manual

• Read and understand the Operator’s Manual provided with your unit.

• Read and understand the Manual provided with any blade, attachment, or

accessory that will be used.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing

• Make sure all others who use the equipment have read and understand the

manuals before fueling or operating the tool.

• Clear the work area of debris and other work hazards

• Make sure you have safe, unobstructed footing

• Make sure the area to be cut is free of obstacles and hidden hazards

• Safely prepare the fuel/oil mix

OPERATOR SAFETY

ENGLISH

PHYSICAL CONDITION

WARNING

Operating this unit while you are impaired can

result in serious personal injury or death to your-

self and others. Never operate the unit if you are

fatigued, or are under the inuence of alcohol,

medication, or any other substances that can

affect your judgment, reexes, vision, or coordi-

nation. You must be mentally alert and physically

able to operate a trimmer, brushcutter, edger, or

PAS attachment safely. If you are impaired in any

way, or are physically unable to safely operate

and control the unit, do not fuel, start, or attempt

to use the unit.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

WARNING

Operating a trimmer, brushcutter, or other powered

cutting or work attachment may expose you to sharp

blades, powerful cutting action, spinning nylon cut-

ting line, ying debris, and other work area hazards.

These hazards can cause serious injury to you and

others if you do not take the precautions necessary

for safe operation.

To help protect against risk of injury caused by these

hazards, you must wear appropriate personal protec-

tive equipment:

Eye and Face Protection

Wear eye protection that meets current ANSI Z87.1

requirements. For additional safety, a full-face shield may

be worn over safety glasses or goggles to provide protection

from sharp branches or ying debris.

OPERATOR SAFETY

ENGLISH

Hearing/Ear Protection

ECHO Inc. highly recommends wearing ANSI recognized

hearing protection whenever you are operating the unit.

Hearing protection prevents hearing loss caused by

frequent or prolonged exposure to engine noise. ECHO

Inc. recommends ear plugs, or for constant heavy-duty

use, wear earmuff-style hearing protection.

Combination Face/Hearing Protection

For complete face/hearing protection, the use of

combination ear muffs/face shield provides face and

hearing protection all in one unit.

ALWAYS wear safety glasses or goggles under the face

shield, and wear head protection when cutting overhead

using a PAS or SB unit with Power Pruner or Hedge

Clipper Attachments.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

Gloves

WARNING

Sharp Blades/Powerful Cutting Action. Contact with sharp edges

of moving blades and attachments will cause severe injury or am-

putation. Keep hands, ngers, and all other body parts away. Work

gloves and other heavy work clothing do not protect against serious

injury if contact is made with moving blades or attachments.

Wear sturdy work gloves to provide protection against cuts and

scratches, and to help reduce the effects of vibration.

OPERATOR SAFETY

ENGLISH

Leg Protection

Wear long pants to protect legs from

cuts and scratches caused by ying

debris.

Foot Protection

Wear sturdy shoes or work boots

to provide foot protection. Steel-

toe shoes or boots provide extra

protection against dropped or falling

objects. Make sure soles are non-slip

for secure footing.

General Clothing Safety

Never wear ties, loose clothing, or clothing with

strings, frills, or dangling straps. Keep clothing

buttoned or zipped, and keep shirt tails tucked in.

Never wear dangling or hanging jewelry such as

earrings or necklaces, or any other items that could

become entangled with branches or equipment, and

be drawn into the moving parts of the engine.

Dust Protection

Operators who are sensitive to wood dust or other

common airborne allergens may need to wear a

dust mask to prevent inhaling these materials while

operating unit. Dust masks can provide protection

against sawdust, plant debris, and other plant matter

such as pollen. Make sure the mask does not impair

your vision, and replace the mask as needed to prevent air restrictions.

PROTECTION AGAINST COLD OR VIBRATION

CAUTION

Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may

result in injury. Read and follow all safety and

operation instructions to minimize risk of injury.

Failure to follow instructions may result in painful

wrist/hand/arm injuries.

Wear sturdy work gloves to help reduce the ef-

fects of cold and vibration, and to help improve

your grip.
