Stopping Engine

1. Throttle

A

Release throttle trigger and allow engine to return to idle before shutting off engine.

2.Stop Switch

Move stop switch button (A) backward to STOP position.

If engine does not stop when stop switch is moved to STOP position, close choke - COLD START position - to stall

engine. Have your ECHO dealer repair stop switch before using unit again.

Operation Techniques

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.

1.Before edging, water the area to soften the ground to make edging easier.

2.Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that could be thrown.

3.Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge and to avoid having to make more than one pass.

Note: Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences in height between the hard surface and the top of the grass.

Never adjust blade height with engine running, otherwise serious personal injury may result.
