WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

WARNING

The engine exhaust from this

product contains chemicals known

to the State of California to cause

cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

SAFETY

WARNING DANGER

ENGINE DRILL USERS RISK INJURY TO
THEMSELVES AND OTHERS IF THE ENGINE
DRILL IS USED IMPROPERLY, AND/OR
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT
FOLLOWED. PROPER CLOTHING AND
SAFETY GEAR MUST BE WORN WHEN
OPERATING ENGINE DRILL.

OPERATOR SAFETY

• Read this Engine drill Operator’s Manual
carefully. Be sure you understand how to
operate this unit properly before you use it.

• Be familiar with all the controls and the proper
use of the machine.

• Wear proper clothing to protect legs and other
exposed parts of your body.

• Wear non-skid sole shoes. Do not wear open­toed shoes or operate unit while bare footed.

• Wear eye and hearing protection devices.

WARNING DANGER

ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE WHEN A DRILL
JAM OCCURS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REMOVE AN OBJECT CAUSING A DRILL
JAM IF THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. PHYSICAL
INJURY CAN OCCUR IF A DRILL JAM IS
REMOVED AND THE DRILLS START
MOVING.

• Do all drilling at full throttle speed. Drilling at
less at than full speed can damage the clutch
by allowing it to slip.

WARNING DANGER

USE A FIRM GRIP WITH THUMBS AND
FINGERS ENCIRCLING THE HANDLES. A
FIRM GRIP WILL HELP YOU KEEP CONTROL
OF THE ENGINE DRILL. NEVER OPERATE
THE ENGINE DRILL ONLY ONE HAND OR
BODILY INJURY CAN OCCUR.

• Always carry the engine drill with the engine
stopped and the HOT muffler away from your
body.

• Use caution when handling fuel. Put the caps
back tightly on both the fuel can and the engine
drill fuel tank.
Move at least 3 m (10 feet) from the refueling
point and be sure there is no leakage of fuel
from the fuel tank cap or the fuel system before
starting the engine.

• Operate this gasoline powered engine
equipment in a well-ventilated area only.

• Start the unit on the ground with the throttle set
at idle. Do not start if the drills are obstructed
by the ground or any other object.

• Never allow children to use the machine.

• Do not allow anyone to hold the material you
are drilling.

• Keep a firm grip on the engine drill with both
hands, the right hand on the front handle, the
left hand on the rear handle.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

• Always wear eye protection goggles that meet
ANSI Z87.1 standards.

• Wear hearing protection.
ECHO recommends that hearing protection be
worn at all times.

• Dress properly! Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery, they can be caught in moving parts.
Use of sturdy gloves, non-skid footwear, and
safety glasses is recommended.

• While operating the machine always be sure of
a secure position.

2

• Wear non-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to
improve your grip on the engine drill handles.
The gloves also help reduce the transmission
of machine vibrations to your hands.

WARNING DANGER

PRECAUTION AGAINST VIBRATION
AND COLD

PROTECTING OTHERS

Spectators, children, fellow workers and animals
must be warned to come no nearer than 4.6 m
(15 feet) while the engine drill is in use.
People working in the area near you should wear
the same protective equipment as the operator.

PHYSICAL CONDITION

Your judgement and dexterity may be impaired if
you are ill or have taken alcohol or other
substances known to affect the way you would
normally function.

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 ENGINE DRILL OR
OTHER HAND-HELD POWER EQUIPMENT
IS NOT REQUIRED.

Painful or numb fingers?
See your doctor

• 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.

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.

• See 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.

OPERA TING TECHNIQ UES

• When starting to drill, run the engine at full
throttle.

WARNING DANGER

BEFORE DRILLING, BE SURE TO READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE OPERATOR’S
MANUAL TO AVOID THE CHANCE OF
SERIOUS INJURY.

• Do not force the drills and only move as quickly
as the drills will allow.

• Stop the engine and disconnect from ignition
cable before: - cleaning or when clearing a
blockage; checking, maintenance or working on
the machine.

• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
Never add fuel to a machine with a running or
hot engine.

• Do not attempt to repair the machine unless
you are qualified to do so.

• When transporting or storing the machine
always remove the drill bit.

• To reduce fire hazard keep engine and
silencer free of debris, leaves or excessive
grease.

• Handle drill with care, contacting with drills
may cause injury.

• Do not operate the machine with a damaged or
excessively worn drill bit.

• Always ensure all handles and guards are fitted
when using the machine. Never attempt to use
an incomplete machine or one fitted with an
unauthorized modification.
