Eye Protection

◆Eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE requirements

must be worn whenever you operate the unit.

◆For additional safety, a full-face shield may be worn over

safety glasses or goggles to provide protection from sharp

branches or flying debris.

Hand Protection

Wear sturdy, no-slip, rubber work gloves to improve your grip on the han-

dles. Gloves also provide protection against cuts and scratches, cold envi-

ronments, and reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your hands.

Hearing/Ear Protection

ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever unit is used.

Breathing Protection

Operators who are sensitive to 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 dust, 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.

Proper Clothing

Wear snug-fitting, durable clothing:

• Pants should have long legs, shirts should have long sleeves.

• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS.

• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARVES, JEWELRY, or clothing with loose or

hanging items that could become entangled in moving parts or surround-

ing growth.

• Keep clothing buttoned or zipped, and keep shirt tails tucked in.

Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid rubber soles:

• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES.

• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.

Keep long hair away from engine and air intake. Retain hair with cap or net.

SAFETY 66003

8 X7712093501

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.

The components of this machine generate an electromagnetic

field during operation, which may interfere with some pacemak-

ers. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with

pacemakers should consult with their physician and the pace-

maker manufacturer before operating this machine. In the ab-

sence of such information, ECHO does not recommend the use

of this machine by anyone who has a pacemaker.

Extended Operation / Extreme Conditions

Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may result in inju-

ry. Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to min-

imize risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions may result in

painful wrist/hand/arm injuries.

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 mini-

mum 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 exer-

cises during frequent work

breaks, and also by not smoking.

• Limit the hours of operation. Try to

fill each day with jobs where oper-

ating the unit or other hand-held

power equipment is not required.

• If you experience discomfort, red-

ness, and swelling of the fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling,

consult your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and vibra-

tion.

ENGLISH

Repetitive Stress Injuries

(RSI)

It is believed that overusing the

muscles and tendons of the fingers,

hands, arms, and shoulders may

cause soreness, swelling, numb-

ness, 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 Syn-

drome (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.

• Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult 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 mus-

cle damage can be prevented.

All over head electrical conductors and communications wires

can have electricity flow with high voltages. This unit is not in-

sulated against electrical current. Never touch wires directly or

indirectly, otherwise serious injury or death may result.

Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilat-

ed areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and

can cause serious injury or death.

SAFETY 66003

Read the Manuals

• Provide all users of this equipment with the Operator’s Manual and Safety

Manual for instructions on Safe Operation.

Clear the Work Area

• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and animals

prevented from coming nearer than 15 m (50 ft.) while the unit is in use.

Keep a Firm Grip

• Always hold throttle handle and support handle 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.

Cutting Angle Adjustments

• Only adjust cutting blade angle

with unit flat on the ground, with

the engine stop switch in the

“STOP” position. Never adjust

cutting angle with unit standing

upright.

Avoid Contact With Gear Box Assembly During Use

• Gear box assembly becomes hot during use. Avoid

contact with gear box assembly when using unit or

making cutting angle adjustments.

Avoid Hot Surfaces

• Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid contact during and

immediately after operation.
