PERSONAL
CONDITION AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
W ARNING DANGER
Trimmer/Brush Cutter users risk injury to themselves and others if the trimmer/brush cutter is used improperly 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.
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.
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.
Wear sturdy work shoes with non-skid soles;
• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,
• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.
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

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 shoulder strap/ or shoulder/ waist harness are adjusted for safe, comfortable operation. See Assembly Section for proper adjustment.
• Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid contact during and immediately after operation.

BLADE SELECTION
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.
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 is designed for grass, garden debris and thick weeds. DO NOT use this blade for brush or heavy woody growth, 19 mm (3/4 in.) diameter or larger. SRM-210Series P/N 69600120331
80 Tooth Brush Blade (P/N 69500120331) is designed for cutting brush and woody growth up to 64 mm (2-1/2 in.) diameter.
22 Tooth Clearing Blade (99944200130) is designed for dense thickets and saplings up to 64 mm (2-1/2 in.) diameter.
Page 17
GRASS TRIMMER/BRUSH CUTTER
Shoulder/Waist Harness (P/N 30100052131) Use of the Shoulder/Waist Harness is required for blade operation, and is recommended for ALL Trimmer/Brush Cutter use.
The Shoulder/Waist Harness suspends the trimmer from the operator's shoulder, and reduces operator fatigue during nylon line trimming or cutting with a blade.
Operator safety is also enhanced by restricting trimmer movement and preventing blade or line contact with the operator's hands and feet during operation.
NOTE
In case of Emergency, the trimmer/brushcutter can be released from the harness by pulling up on the quick-release collar.

FC certified oil, such as Echo premium Power Blend TM, will void the two-stroke engine warranty. (Emission related parts only are covered for two years, regardless of two-stroke oil used, per the statement listed in the Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.)
IMPORTANT
Echo premium Power Blend TM Universal 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.
Mixing Instructions
1 . Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of
gasoline.
2 . Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline. 3 . Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline. 4 . Add remaining gasoline and remix. 5 . Install fuel container cap and wipe any spilled fuel from container
and surrounding area.
IMPORTANT
Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel spillage. Contact your ECHO dealer for ordering information.
After Refueling
• Wipe any spilled fuel from the unit.
• Move at least 3 m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting.
After Use
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.
Storage
Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, air tight container. Store in a well ventilated, unoccupied building, away from sparks and flames. Do not store fuel longer than 30 days.
Handling Fuel
W ARNING
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling, otherwise serious personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT!
• NEVER refuel a unit with the engine running.
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.
• Securely tighten fuel cap after refueling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.
DANGER
IMPORTANT
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.
IMPORTANT
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thor­oughly before each use.

SHARPENING MET AL BLADES
B
A
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.
Tool 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.
