PERSONAL CONDITION AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT  
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  
Proper Clothing  
Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:  
Wear snug fitting, durable clothing;  
• 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.  
• Pants should have long legs, shirts with long sleeves.  
• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS,  
• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARFS, JEWELRY.  
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.  
Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid soles;  
Eye Protection  
• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,  
• DONOTOPERATEUNITBAREFOOTED.  
Keep long hair away from engine and air intake. Retain  
hair with cap or net.  
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE  
requirements whenever you operate the unit.  
Hand Protection  
Wear no-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to improve your  
grip on the handle. Gloves also reduce the transmission  
of machine vibration to your hands.  
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.  
Hearing Protection  
ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection when-  
ever unit is used.  
Extended Operation/Extreme Conditions  
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 recom-  
mended, 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 unit 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 exercise 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.  
DANGER  
Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilated  
areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and can  
cause serious injury or death.  
Read the Manuals  
• Provide all users of this equipment with the Operator’s Manual and  
Safety Manual for instructions on Safe Operation.  
Clear the Work Area  
• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and  
animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 m (50 ft.) while the  
unit is in use.  
Keep a Firm Grip  
• Hold the front and rear handles with both hands, with thumbs and  
fingers encircling the handles.  
Keep a Solid Stance  
• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery,  
uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on  
ladders. Do not over reach.  
Avoid Hot Surfaces  
• Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid contact during  
and immediately after operation.
