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.

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.

Breathing Protection

Wear a facemask to protect against dust.

Hand Protection

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

Hearing Protection

ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever unit is used.

Proper Clothing

Wear snug tting, durable clothing;

• Pants should have long legs, shirts with 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 surrounding

growth.

Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid soles;

• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,

• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.

Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves. 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.

Vibration and Cold

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which affects the ngers of certain individuals, may be

brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning sen-

sations, followed by loss of color and numbness in the ngers. 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 ll 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 ngers

followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
