Hand Protection

Wear sturdy, no-slip, rubber work gloves to improve your grip on the

handles. Gloves also provide protection against cuts and scratches, cold

environments, and reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your

hands.

Hearing and Ear Protection

ECHO recommends wearing personal protective equipment whenever unit

is used.

Breathing Protection

Operators who are sensitive to dust or other common airborne allergens

may need to wear a dust mask to prevent inhaling these materials while

operating unit. Dust masks can provide protection against dust, plant debris,

and other plant matter such as pollen. Make sure the mask does not impair

your vision, and replace the mask as needed to prevent air restrictions.

• Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid rubber soles.

• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES.

• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITH BARE FEET.

SAFETY 66006

The components of this machine generate an electromagnetic

field during operation, which can interfere with some

pacemakers. 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 this machine by anyone who has a pacemaker.

Extended Operation and Extreme Conditions

Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration can result in injury.

Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to

minimize risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions can 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.
