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

Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE

requirements whenever you operate the unit.

Hand Protection

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

grip on the handle. Gloves also reduce the transmission

of machine vibration to your hands.

Hearing Protection

ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection when-

ever 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, SCARFS, JEWELRY.

Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid 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.

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.

WARNING

Users of this product risk injury to themselves and others if the unit is used improperly and/or safety precautions

are not followed. Proper clothing and safety gear must be worn when operating unit.

PERSONAL CONDITION AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Extended Operation/Extreme Conditions

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 recom-

mended, 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 unit 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.

OPERATOR'SMANUAL 5

DANGER

Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilated

areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and can

cause serious injury or death.

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

• Hold the front and rear handles with both hands, with thumbs and

fingers 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.

Avoid Hot Surfaces

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

and immediately after operation.

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 exercise 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 muscle damage can be prevented.

DESCRIPTION

Locate this safety decal on your unit. The complete unit illustration, found in the "DESCRIPTION" section, will help you

locate it. Make sure the decal is legible and that you understand and follow the instructions on it. If the decal cannot be

Shaft Decal

1. DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY - Contains a specially designed liner and the flexible drive shaft.

2. NYLON CUTTING ATTACHMENT - Contains replaceable nylon trimming line that advances when the trimmer head

is tapped against the ground while the head is turning at normal operating speed.

3. CUT-OFF KNIFE - Automatically trims line to the correct length: 5 in. after head is tapped on the ground. If trimmer is

operated without a cut-off knife the line will become too long, the engine will overheat and engine damage may occur.

4. PLASTIC DEBRIS SHIELD ASSEMBLY - Shield assembly includes the Cut-Off Knife and Safety Decal. Helps

protect the operator by deflecting debris produced during the trimming operation. This shield must be replaced with

the steel shield for blade use.
