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, or clothing with loose or hanging items that could become entangled in moving parts or surrounding growth.

Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid soles;

DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,

DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED. Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves.

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

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.

The ignition 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.

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 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.
