WARNING DANGER

This unit can be dangerous and cause serious injury if improperly used. To reduce injury risk to operator, helpers and bystanders, read and understand the Operator's and Safety manuals.

Blindness can occur from objects that are thrown or ricocheted even with shield in place. Operators, helpers and bystanders must wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection.

Always wear hearing protection when operating unit.

Prevent accidental contact with unit and any cutting attachment. Maintain a 50 ft. (15M) radius, DANGER ZONE surrounding the operator. ONLY the operator, dressed in proper protective clothing should be in the DANGER ZONE.

Beware of KICKOUT (blade thrust) when using blades. Special

precautions are necessary for blade operation, see your Operator's and Safety Manuals. ONLY install ECHO approved blades on Brush Cutters (SRM) models equipped with proper blade shield, U-handles, harness, blade collar, nut and cotter pin.

Blade/Cutting attachment does not stop immediately after releasing throttle. Keep hands and feet clear of blade/cutting attachment unless engine is shut off and cutting attachment is not moving.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PERSONAL CONDITION AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT

WARNING DANGER

Trimmer/Brush Cutter users risk injury to themselves and others if the trimmer/brush cutter is used improperly and or safety precautions are not followed. Proper clothing and safety gear must be worn when operating a trimmer.

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 trimmer.

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,

DONOTWEARTIES,SCARVES,JEWELRY.

Wear sturdy work shoes with non-skid soles;

DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,

DONOTOPERATEUNITBAREFOOTED.

Hand Protection --

Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your grip on the Trimmer/Brush Cutter handles. Gloves also reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your hands.

EXTENDED OPERATION/EXTREME CONDITIONS

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.

6

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.

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.

EQUIPMENT

WARNING DANGER

Use only ECHO approved attachments. Serious injury may result from the use of a non approved attachment combination. Read and comply with all safety instructions listed in this manual and safety manual. ECHO, INC. will not be responsible for the failure of cutting devices, attachments or accessories which have not been tested and approved by ECHO.

Check unit for loose/missing nuts, bolts and screws. Tighten and/or replace as needed.

Inspect fuel lines, tank and area around carburetor for fuel leaks. DO NOT operate unit if leaks are found.

Inspect shield for damage and ensure that the cut-off knife is securely in place. Replace if either is damaged or missing.

Check that the cutting attachment is firmly attached and in safe operating condition.

Check that front (loop) handle and optional shoulder/waist harness are adjusted for safe, comfortable operation. See Assembly for proper adjustment.

Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid contact during and immediately after operation.

1.POWER HEAD - Includes the Engine, Clutch, Fuel System, Ignition System and Recoil Starter.

2.GRIP - Rear (right hand) handle.

3.THROTTLE TRIGGER LOCKOUT - This lever must be held down during starting. Operation of the throttle trigger is prevented unless throttle trigger lockout lever is depressed.

4.STOP SWITCH - "SLIDE SWITCH" mounted on top of the Throttle Trigger Housing. Move switch FORWARD to RUN, BACK to STOP.

5.FRONT HANDLE - The front handle is factory assembled to the Drive Shaft assembly (some models) but must be repositioned for proper cutting attitude and operator comfort.

6.DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY - Includes the Rear (right hand) Handle assembly, Gear Housing assembly, Front, (left hand) Handle assembly, Flexible Drive Cable and Safety Decal.

7.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.

8.CUT-OFF KNIFE - Automatically trims line to the correct length: 5" - 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.

9.PLASTIC DEBRIS SHIELD ASSEMBLY - Included in plastic bag (co-pack). MUST be installed on unit before use, see Assembly Instructions. Shield assembly includes the Cut-Off Knife and Safety Decal. Mounts on the Gear Housing Assembly just above the cutting attachment. Helps protect the operator by deflecting debris produced during the trimming operation. This shield must be replaced with the steel shield for blade use.

10.THROTTLE TRIGGER - Spring loaded to return to idle when released. During acceleration, press trigger gradually for best operating technique.

11.ARM REST - Provides arm rest during operation and protects arm from the hot engine.

12.SPARK PLUG - Provides spark to ignite fuel mixture.

13.SPARK ARRESTOR - CATALYTIC MUFFLER / MUFFLER -The muffler or catalytic muffler controls exhaust noise and emission. The spark arrestor screen prevents hot, glowing particles of carbon from leaving the muffler. Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris.
