SAFETY

 

 

DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES.

DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.

Keep long hair away from engine and air intake. Retain hair with cap or net.

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.

The components of this machine generate an electromagnetic field during operation, which may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with pacemakers should consult with their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this machine. In the absence of such information, ECHO does not recommend the use of ECHO products by anyone who has a pacemaker.

Extended Operation / Extreme Conditions

Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may result in injury. Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to minimize risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions may result in painful wrist/hand/arm injuries.

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 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.
