Never operate the tool without good visibility and light.

Lay the unit down on a clear area and set the controls for starting. While cranking the unit, use one hand to pull the starter handle and the other hand to stabilize the unit. To be sure the cutting line or blade cannot contact the ground or any obstruction, rest the unit on the debris shield (see illustration at left).

Hold the unit firmly down so you will not lose control during cranking. Do not crank the unit in the air, or from a harness. The unit could swing into your leg or an obstruction if you lose control.

Do not raise the cutting head above knee height. If raised higher, the cutting head will be more directly in line with your face. Thrown objects may cut your face and eyes.

Keep the unit and attachments in good working condition. Tighten loose fastening parts and replace any missing fasteners before using the unit. Check the cutting head assembly before each use.

Shut down immediately if the unit starts to shake or vibrate. A sudden vibration is a sign there may be danger or trouble, such as a broken flywheel, clutch or cutting blade, or loose parts. Do not use the unit until the trouble has been properly diagnosed and cor- rected.

KEEP FEET AND HANDS AWAY

UNTIL ROTATION STOPS

After shutting down the engine, wait until all rotation of the unit stops before going near the cutting head. If the cutting head rotates after the engine returns to idle, a carburetor adjustment may be needed. You can follow your operator’s manual to make adjustment yourself, or have the carburetor adjusted by your ECHO servicing dealer.

All maintenance and adjustments given in the operator’s manual should be performed by you or your ECHO servicing dealer on a timely basis. ALL required service or repair must be done only by the ECHO servicing dealer.

Always disconnect the wire from the spark plug to make the engine unstartable before you work on the unit or leave it unattended.
