OPERATOR SAFETY
DANGER
Echo GT Grass trimmers and SRM trimmer-brush cutters are powerful, professional-grade tools designed for applications such as trimming grass and light weeds, and when properly configured (SRM/PAS/SB / straight shaft only), cutting brush, woody growth, and small saplings and trees.
PAS Pro Attachment Series and SB units can be equipped with a wide variety of lawn and landscaping attachments for tasks ranging from edging to pruning, allowing operators to perform an entire range of applications with just one powerhead.
PE Power Edgers provide precise edging action for maintaining lawn borders in residential and commercial landscaping. Edgers can also be equipped with an attachment that quickly cleans out cracks and joints in sidewalks, driveways, paved areas, and other hard surfaces.
When used properly, these tools save time, reduce effort, and make difficult landscaping tasks easy. If handled carelessly or used improperly, they can cause severe injury or death.
Before using this equipment, you must:
•Read and understand this Safety Manual
•Read and understand the Operator’s Manual provided with your unit.
•Read and understand the Manual provided with any blade, attachment, or accessory that will be used.
•Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing
•Make sure all others who use the equipment have read and understand the manuals before fueling or operating the tool.
•Clear the work area of bystanders and pets.
•Clear the work area of debris and other work hazards

Never operate the unit if you are fatigued, or are under the influence of alcohol, medication, or any other substances that can affect your judgment, reflexes, vision, or coordination. You must be mentally alert and physically able to operate a trimmer, brushcutter, edger, or
PAS attachment safely. If you are impaired in any way, or are physically unable to safely operate and control the unit, do not fuel, start, or attempt to use the unit.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
WARNING
Operating a trimmer, brushcutter, or other powered cutting or work attachment may expose you to sharp blades, powerful cutting action, spinning nylon cutting line, flying debris, and other work area hazards. These hazards can cause serious injury to you and others if you do not take the precautions necessary for safe operation.
To help protect against risk of injury caused by these hazards, you must wear appropriate personal protective equipment:
Eye and Face Protection
Wear eye protection that meets current ANSI Z87.1 requirements. For additional safety, a full-face shield may be worn over safety glasses or goggles to provide protection from sharp branches or flying debris.
8
OPERATORSAFETY
Hearing/Ear Protection
Echo highly recommends wearing ANSI recognized hearing protection whenever you are operating the unit. Hearing protection prevents hearing loss caused by frequent or prolonged exposure to engine noise. Echo recommends ear plugs, or for constant heavy-duty use, wear earmuff-style hearing protection.
Combination Face/Hearing Protection
For complete face/hearing protection, the use of combination ear muffs/face shield provides face and hearing protection all in one unit.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses or goggles under the face shield, and wear head protection when cutting overhead using a PAS or SB unit with Power Pruner or Hedge Clipper Attachments.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Gloves
WARNING
Sharp Blades/Powerful Cutting Action. Contact with sharp edges of moving blades and attachments will cause severe injury or amputation. Keep hands, fingers, and all other body parts away. Work gloves and other heavy work clothing do not protect against serious injury if contact is made with moving blades or attachments.
Wear sturdy work gloves to provide protection against cuts and scratches, and to help reduce the effects of vibration.
9
OPERATORSAFETY
Leg Protection
Wear long pants to protect legs from cuts and scratches caused by flying debris.
Foot Protection
Wear sturdy shoes or work boots to provide foot protection. Steel-toe shoes or boots provide extra protection against dropped or falling objects. Make sure soles are non-slip for secure footing.
General Clothing Safety
Never wear ties, loose clothing, or clothing with strings, frills, or dangling straps. Keep clothing buttoned or zipped, and keep shirt tails tucked in. Never wear dangling or hanging jewelry such as earrings or necklaces, or any other items that could become entangled with branches or equipment, and be drawn into the moving parts of the engine.
Dust Protection
Operators who are sensitive to wood 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 sawdust, plant debris, and other plant matter such as pollen.

OPERATORSAFETY
Raynaud's Syndrome
A condition known as Raynaud’s Syndrome can occur from exposure to cold and/or vibration.
This condition affects the hands and arms, causing tingling, burning, numbness, and loss of color in the fingers. The amount of exposure needed to trigger this is unknown, and varies by individual.
To protect yourself from this condition, take the following precautions:
•Keep your body warm - pay particular attention to head and neck, hands and wrists, and feet and ankles.
•Avoid awkward grips on the unit that may cause stress. Maintain control, but do not hold the unit with an excessively tight grip.
•Take regular rest breaks.
•Exercise and stretch to strengthen muscles, and to maintain circulation. Keep exposure to vibration at a minimum.
•If you experience discomfort, redness, and/or swelling of the fingers, followed by whitening or loss of feeling, stop using the unit, and contact a doctor.
Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)
Overuse of the muscles and tendons of the fingers hands, arms, and shoulders may cause soreness, swelling, numbness, weakness, and pain in these areas. Repetitive hand/wrist movement can put you at high risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI), such as Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when swelling in the wrist puts pressure on a nerve, resulting in severe pain.
To protect yourself from these conditions, take the following precautions:
•Avoid using your wrist in a bent or twisted position. Try to maintain a straight wrist position.
•Avoid using your thumb and index finger to grip things - use your whole hand.
•Take regular rest breaks.
•Exercise and stretch to strengthen muscles and maintain circulation.
•Keep exposure to vibration at a minimum.
•Reduce the speed and force of repetitive movements.
•If you experience tingling, numbness, or pain in the fingers, hands, wrists, or arms, stop using the unit immediately, and contact a doctor. Early diagnosis of RSI can help prevent permanent nerve and muscle damage.
