WARNING DANGER

PRECAUTION AGAINST VIBRATION

AND COLD

IT IS BELIEVED THAT A CONDITION CALLED

RAYNAUD’S PHENOMENON WHICH AFFECTS

THE FINGERS OF CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS IS

BROUGHT ABOUT BY EXPOSURE TO COLD AND

VIBRATION.

ACCORDINGLY, YOUR ECHO TRIMMER HAS

SHOCK MOUNT AND RUBBERED GRIP.

DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE INTENSITY OF

VIBRATION TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE

HANDLES.

EXPOSURE TO COLD AND VIBRATION MAY

CAUSE TINGLING AND BURNING, FOLLOWED

BY LOSS OF COLOUR AND NUMBNESS IN A

PERSON’S FINGERS.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE THE

FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BECAUSE THE

MINIMUM EXPOSURE WHICH MIGHT TRIGGER

THE AILMENT IS UNKNOWN.

• KEEP YOUR BODY WARM - ESPECIALLY

HEAD, NECK, FEET AND ANKLES, AND HANDS

AND WRISTS.

• MAINTAIN GOOD BLOOD CIRCULATION BY

PERFORMING VIGOROUS ARM EXERCISES

DURING FREQUENT WORK BREAKS, AND

ALSO BY NOT SMOKING.

• LIMIT THE NUMBER OF HOURS OF

OPERATION.

TRY TO FILL A PART OF EACH WORK DAY

WITH JOBS WHERE OPERATING THE TRIMMER

OR OTHER HAND-HELD POWER TOOLS IS NOT

REQUIRED.

• IF YOU EXPERIENCE DISCOMFORT,

REDNESS AND SWELLING OF THE

FINGERS, FOLLOWED WHITENING AND LOSS

OF FEELING, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN

BEFORE EXPOSING YOURSELF FURTHER TO

COLD AND VIBRATION.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

• Always wear protection goggles that meet the national

standards.

• Wear hearing protection. If you use the unit for less

than two hours per day, we recommend that hearing

protection be worn at all times.

• Before trimming, check the area and remove all

obstacles and objects that could be thrown. • Do not force the blades and only move as quickly as

the blades will allow.

• Stop the engine and disconnect from ignition cable

before: - cleaning or when clearing a blockage;

checking, maintenance or working on the machine.

• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. Never

add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine.

• Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you are

qualified to do so.

• Do not operate the machine with a damaged or

excessively worn cutting device.

• Always ensure all handles and guards are fitted when

using the machine. Never attempt to use an

incomplete machine or one fitted with an unauthorized

modification.

• When transporting or storing the machine always fit

the blade cover.

• To reduce fire hazard keep engine and silencer free

of debris, leaves or excessive grease.

• Handle blade with care, contacting with metal blades

may cause injury.

• Plan to trim regularly to make it easier to keep neat

edges and to avoid having to make more than one

pass.
