SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PERSONAL

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.

CONDITION AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT

W ARNING DANGER

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.

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,

• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARVES, JEWELRY.

Eye Protection --

Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE requirements whenever you operate the trimmer.

Wear sturdy work shoes with non-skid soles;

• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,

• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.

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.

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

W ARNING 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.

• 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.

PRE - OPERATION

OPERATION

Preparing the Trimmer/Brush Cutter for Blade Use

WITH BLADES

WARNING DANGER

Blade use DEMANDS specific Brush Cutter configuration. Operation without specified shield and harness can result in serious personal injury.

Plastic and Nylon Blades Require "Blade Conversion Kit," P/N 99922200415 (metal shield, barrier bar, and shoulder harness).

Steel/Metal Blades Require "Blade Conversion Kit" PLUS a "U-Handle Kit." P/N 35130454130 or Combination Blade Kit and "U-Handle Kit" P/N 99944200451.

Choosing the Correct Blade

WARNING DANGER

The type of Blade used MUST be matched to the type and size of material cut. An improper or dull blade can cause serious personal injury. Blades MUST be sharp. Dull blades increase the chance of kick out and injury to yourself and bystanders.

GRASS TRIMMER/BRUSH CUTTER

Plastic/Nylon Blades may be used where ever the nylon line head

is used. DO NOT use this blade for heavy weeds or brush!

8 Tooth Weed/Grass Blade P/N 69600120331 is designed for grass, garden debris and thick weeds. DO NOT use this blade for brush or heavy woody growth, 3/4" in. (19 mm) diameter or larger.

Brush/Clearing Blade P/N 69500120331 is designed for cutting brush and woody growth up to 76 mm (3" in.) diameter.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

Use Shoulder/Waist Harness P/N 99944200200 Use of the Shoulder/ Waist Harness is recommended for ALL Trimmer/Brush Cutter use, not just Blade operation. The Shoulder/Waist Harness when used in a trimming operation with nylon line head suspends the trimmer from the operator's shoulder and reduces operator fatigue.

During blade operation, the same fatigue reduction is achieved. Safety to the operator is also enhanced by preventing blade contact with the operators hands and feet by restricting trimmer movement.

NOTE

In case of Emergency, pull up on the Quick Release Collar to disconnect the trimmer from the harness.

FUEL

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [ ] gasoline or gasohol known to be good quality. Gasohol may contain up to 10% Ethyl (grain) alcohol or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasohol containing methyl (wood) alcohol is NOT approved.

Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD Standard (ISO/CD 13738), must be used. Echo brand Premium 50:1 oil meets this standard. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD approved oil, such as Echo Premium 50:1 Two-stroke Oil, will void the two-stroke engine warranty. (Emission related parts oil used, per the statement listed in the EPA Phase II Emission Defect

Warranty Explanation.)

IMPORTANT

Echo Premium 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo engines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

0.65 MM

(0.026 IN.)

COOLING SYSTEMS CLEANING

Level 2.

Tools required: Cross-head screwdriver, 3 mm hex wrench, pointed wood stick Parts Required: None if you are careful.

IMPORTANT

To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air carries combustion heat away from the engine.

Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:

• Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the cylinder.

• Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build up insulates the engine and prevents the heat from leaving.

Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cooling fins is considered “Normal Maintenance”. Any failure attributed to lack of maintenance is not warranted.

1 . Remove spark plug lead and throttle linkage end from the carbure-

tor swivel.

2 . Remove the four screws that retain the engine cover (A). Two at

the top of the starter, two on either side of the front. Lift the cover from the engine and lay to the front of the trimmer.

NOTE

The throttle linkage remains assembled to the cover and the spark plug lead and grommet remain installed.

3 . Use the wooden stick or brush to remove dirt form cylinder fins.

4 . Remove grass and leaves from the grid between the recoil starter

and fuel tank.

5. Assemble components in reverse order.

NOTE

When installing the cover, be certain the tab of the metal deflector shield is in the slot of the engine cover.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

Spark Arrestor Screen

Level 2.

Tools required: Cross-head screwdriver, soft metal brush, wooden carbon scraper. Parts Required: Screen P/N 14586240630, Gasket Lid P/N 14586642031

25 & 26 for step by step instructions.

2 . Place piston at Top Dead Center (TDC) to prevent carbon/dirt from

entering cylinder.

3 . Remove spark arrestor screen cover (B), screen holder (C), gasket

(D) and screen (E) from muffler body. 4 . Clean carbon deposits from screen and muffler components. 5 . Replace screen if it is cracked, plugged or has holes burned

through.

6. Assemble components in reverse order.

NOTE

When installing the engine cover, be certain the tab of the metal deflector shield is in the slot of the engine cover.

GRASS TRIMMER/BRUSH CUTTER

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

Parts required: None.

NOTE

Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compliance with EPA Phase 1 and California Emission Regulations. In addition, the carburetor is equipped with HI and LO needle adjustment limiters that prevent settings outside acceptable limits.

1 . Before adjusting the carburetor, clean or replace the air filter and

spark arrester screen.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

2 . Trimmer line must be extended to the cut-off knife.

3. Start engine and run for several minutes to reach operating temperature.

4 . Stop engine. Turn HI speed needle (A) CCW (counter clockwise)

to stop. Turn LO speed needle (B) midway between full CCW and CW (clockwise) stops.

5 . Idle Speed Adjustment.

Start engine and turn “idle” speed adjustment screw (C) CW until the cutting attachment begins to turn, then turn the screw CCW until cutting attachment stops turning. Turn screw CCW an additional 1/4 turn.

5 . Accelerate to full throttle for 2-3 seconds to clear excess fuel from

engine then return to idle. Accelerate to full throttle to check for smooth transition from idle to full throttle. If engine hesitates, turn LO needle (B) CCW an additional 1/8 turn and repeat acceleration. Continue adjusting until smooth acceleration results.

6 . Check HI speed RPM at W.O.T. (Wide Open Throttle). HI speed

RPM should be set to specifications found on page 11 "Specifications" of this manual.

7 . Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is avail-

able, idle speed should be set to the specification found on page 11 "Specifications" of this manual.

W ARNING DANGER

When carburetor adjustment is completed, the cutting attachment should not rotate at idle, otherwise serious personal injury may result.

LUBRICA TION

GRASS TRIMMER/BRUSH CUTTER

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

1. Shut engine off. Lay unit on the ground with head assembly up.

2 . Hold drum (A) and turn spool (B) CW (clockwise) until it stops.

Pull spool from drum. DO NOT push in on spool when turning.

3 . Use one piece of new nylon line (C) 6m (20 ft.) long and thread

through the molded loop (D) on the spool. Pull line tight and adjust so one end is 15 cm (6 in.) longer than the other.

4 . Hold the spool, opening toward you. Place index finger between

the two strands and wind line, tightly and evenly, in direction of arrow marked "CC".

5 . Stop when approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 in.) line (C) remains and

place ends of line in notches (E) in spool (B).

6. Feed ends of line through housing eyelets (F) and place spool (B) over drive (G). Align pegs (H) on drive with notches in spool and push spool into drum.

SHARPENING METAL BLADES

Three styles of metal blades are approved for use on the ECHO Brush Cutter. The 8-tooth blade can be sharpened during normal maintenance. The clearing blade and 80 tooth blade require professional service.

Before sharpening, CLOSELY inspect blade for cracks (look at the bottom of each tooth and the center mounting hole closely), missing teeth and bending. If ANY of these problems are discovered, replace the blade.

When sharpening a blade, always remove the same amount of materials from each tooth to maintain balance. A blade that is not balanced will cause unsafe handling due to vibration and can result in blade failure.

8-tooth Blade

Tools required: Flat file (preferred), Electric grinder if special care is used, Round (rat tail) file for gullet (radius).

1 . File each tooth at a 30 degree angle a specific number of times,

eg. 4 strokes per tooth. Work your way around the blade until all teeth are sharp.

2 . DO NOT file the 'gullet' (radius) of the tooth with the flat file.

The radius must remain. A sharp corner will lead to a crack and blade failure.

IMPORTANT

If an electric grinder is used, use care not to overheat teeth, do not allow tips/tooth to glow red or turn blue. DO NOT place blade in cooling water. This will change the temper of the blade and could result in blade failure.

3. After sharpening teeth, check each tooth radius for evidence of a square (sharp) corner. Use the round (rat tail) file to renew the radius.
