RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

TRAINING

WARNING DANGER

GRASS TRIMMERS AND BRUSHCUTTERS CAN

THROW SMALL GRAVEL, STONE, GLASS, METAL

OR PLASTIC OBJECTS AS WELL AS THE

MATERIAL BEING CUT. READ THESE “RULES

FOR SAFE OPERATION” WITH CARE. FOLLOW

INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL.

Operator’s manual

Read the Operator’s Manual carefully. Be thoroughly

familiar with the controls and proper use of the unit.

Know how to stop the unit and shut off the engine.

Know how to unhook a harnessed unit quickly.

Never allow anyone to use the unit without proper

instruction.

•If you have any questions or problems, please

contact your ECHO dealer.

Do not permit operation without proper

training and protective equipment.

EYE PROTECTION

The operator must wear eye protection not only against

objects thrown by the unit, but also because eye

infections can be caused by airborne dust, seeds and

pollen.

Prescription glasses may be worn under the safety

goggles.

Eye protection should also be worn by persons in the

risk zone which extends beyond the danger zone.

Wear eye protection

HEARING AND EAR PROTECTION

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment

or loss of hearing.

Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as

earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or

uncomfortable loud noises.

Earmuffs Earplugs

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

Choose trousers, shirts and jackets that fit trimly and

have no strings, frills or dangling straps which could

catch on the unit or the underbrush. Do not wear ties,

loose clothing or jewellery. Keep clothing buttoned or

zipped up and shirt tails tucked in. Secure hair so it is

above shoulder length.

The wearing of gloves offers some protection against

contact with skin irritants such as poison ivy. Soft

leather work gloves may also improve your grip.

ADDITIONAL PROTECTION

Hay fever (Rhinitis) sufferers may wear disposable

masks to help reduce the intake of allergenic particles.

Safety goggles

Hearing protectors Head and face protection

Shoulder harness

Trim-fitting clothes

Safety gloves

Sturdy shoes or boots

SRM-2305

a) Slide suspension point up and down the tube to find

the right balance. Rotate the clamp to level the

cutting attachment and shield. Lock in position. If the

suspension point is a free-spinning type, the unit may

tend to roll over sideways, however, you should still

level the attachment and shield on the front-to-rear

axis.

b) Balancing and levelling, as above, may require

relocation of the clamp and readjustment of the

harness straps. Also, each type of cutting attachment

and shield mounted on the unit may require

balancing.

NOTE

A person’s size can affect the balancing adjustment.

Also the balancing procedure may not work with

some ECHO units on some persons. If the procedure

does not work for you, please ask your ECHO

servicing dealer for assistance.

WARNING DANGER

ECHO TRIMMERS AND BRUSHCUTTERS ARE

DESIGNED TO FIT A WIDE VARIETY OF BODY

SIZES, BUT MAY NOT BE ADJUSTABLE FOR

EXTREMELY TALL PERSONS.

DO NOT USE THE UNIT IF YOUR FEET CAN

REACH THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT WHEN THE

UNIT IS ATTACHED TO THE HARNESS.

PREPARATION

Use a shoulder harness when provided or when recom-

mended in this manual. Adjust both harness and the

suspension point on the unit so the unit hangs with the

cutting attachment a few centimetres above ground

level. The cutting attachment and shield should be level

in all directions. Harness the unit on the right side as

shown.

WARNING DANGER

IN ADDITION TO HEAD, EYE AND EAR PROTEC-

TION WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHES, SAFETY

GLOVES AND SHOES TO PROTECT YOUR FEET

SRM-2305

WARNING DANGER

EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED

FOR EVERYONE IN THE ZONE OF RISK. RISK OF

EYE INJURY DIMINISHES WITH DISTANCE.

Do not raise the cutting attachment above knee height.

If raised higher, the cutting attachment will be more

directly in line with your face. Thrown objects may hit

your face and eyes.

Wear the recommended protective gear.

Never operate the unit without the proper guards,

shoulder harness and other protective devices.

Never operate the unit without good visibility and light.

15 m

Do not allow anyone to enter the operating DANGER

ZONE with you. The danger zone is an area of 15 m in

radius.

Insist that persons in the RISK ZONE beyond the

danger zone wear eye protection to protect them from

thrown objects. If the unit must be used where there are

unprotected people, operate at a low throttle speed to

reduce the risk.

Ensure that there are no children, bystanders, and pets

in the work area. Keep all children, bystanders and

fellow workers outside 15 m radius for brushcutters/

grasstrimmers.

Stop the engine before leaving the machine, children

are not allowed to use the machine, stop the machine

between different working places.

If you are approached, stop the engine and cutting

attachment immediately. Keep your hands and body

away from silencer to prevent heat injury while the

engine is hot.

Lay the unit down on a clear area and set the controls

for starting. Be sure the cutting attachment cannot

contact the ground or any obstruction.

Hold the unit firmly down so you will not lose control

during starting. Do not start the unit in the air, or from

the harness. The unit could swing into your leg or an

obstruction if you lose control.

GENERAL OPERATION

Engine fumes contain deadly poisonous carbon

monoxide.

Do not operate with a worn or damaged cutting attach-

ment.

Do not run engine at full throttle without a load.

Do not hit rocks, stones, tree stumps, and other foreign

objects with the cutting attachment.

If cutting attachment strikes an obstruction, stop engine

immediately and inspect cutting attachment for damage.

Start on ground with cutting

attachment in the clear

Do not run the

engine indoors, or

where there is poor

ventilation.

7SRM-2305

When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting

attachment stops before the unit is set down.

A cutting attachment can injure while it continues to spin

after the engine is shut off or throttle control is released.

If the cutting attachment rotates after throttle is returned

to idle, carburettor adjustment is required. Follow

instruction on this manual to make the adjustment

yourself, or have the carburettor adjusted by your ECHO

dealer.

All maintenance and adjustments given in this manual

should be performed by you or your ECHO servicing

dealer on a timely basis.

All required service or repair must be done only by

ECHO servicing dealer. Never attempt to use an

incomplete or one fitted with unauthorized modification.

Keep feet and hands away

until rotation stops.

Sudden vibration?

Shut down immediately!

Shut down immediately if the unit starts to shake or

vibrate.

A sudden vibration is a sign there may be dangerous

trouble, such as a broken flywheel, clutch or cutting

attachment, or loose parts.

Do not use the unit until the problem has been properly

diagnosed and corrected.

Do not operate one-handed

Always use both hands on the handles. Do not operate

one-handed.

Always hold the unit with the fingers and thumbs

encircling the handles.

VIBRATION AND COLD

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenom-

enon 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, followed by loss of colour 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 and 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 each day with jobs where operating the

trimmer 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 exposing yourself

further to cold and vibration.

Painful or numb fingers?

See your doctor immediatelty!

REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES

It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of

the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause

soreness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme

pain to the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand

activities may put you at a high risk for developing a

repetitive stress injury (RSI).

To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:

•Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted

position.

•Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest

your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which

you do the repetitive movement.

•Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.

•See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in

your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI

is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and

muscle damage can be prevented.

Blade

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

(WITH METAL BLADE)

WARNING DANGER

•SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT FROM THE

IMPROPER USE OF BLADES.

READ AND COMPLY WITH ALL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS LISTED IN THIS MANUAL.

•THE 3 CUTTER BLADE IS DESIGNED

ESPECIALLY TO CUT WEEDS AND GRASS. TO

AVOID INJURY DUE TO KICKBACK OR

BLADE FRACTURE, DO NOT USE THE 3

CUTTER BLADE TO CUT BRUSH OR TREES.

•USE ONLY CUTTING ATTACHMENTS

RECOMMENDED BY KIORITZ CORPORATION.

Cup

USE CORRECT BLADE

WARNING DANGER

PIECES FROM A CRACKED METAL BLADE CAN

FLY OFF DURING OPERATION. INSPECT METAL

BLADES FOR CRACKS BEFORE EACH USE.

DISCARD CRACKED BLADES NO MATTER HOW

SMALL THE CRACK. CRACKED BLADES CAN BE

THE RESULT OF MISUSE OR IMPROPER

SHARPENING.

Inspect blades before use

Nut

9SRM-2305

Wires can catch

and flap around

•Always use the blade suited for the job.

•Do not hit rocks, stones, tree stumps, and other

foreign objects with the blade.

•Do not cut into the ground with the blade.

•If blade strikes an obstruction, stop engine immedi-

ately and inspect blade for damage.

•Do not operate with a dull, bent, fractured or

discoloured blade and worn or damaged nut.

•Do not run engine at full throttle without a load.

•Remove all foreign objects from work area.

•Do not operate brushcutter without shoulder harness

and shield.

REACTION FORCES

Anticlockwise rotation

Push

PUSH. The operator may feel the unit push toward him

when he tries to cut the object on right. If he cannot hold

the blade in the cut, a kickback may occur when the

blade is pushed out to where the teeth at the outside

furthest point from the operator are cutting. The blade

will “kickback” sideways.

PULL. The opposite of push. When object on left, the

operator may feel the unit pull away. Although this pull

type of cutting may cause sawdust to be thrown back at

the operator, it is recommended for sawing off heavy

brush because the cutting is smoother and more stable

than when the unit pushes.

Pull

Kickback

WARNING DANGER

BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE REACTION

FORCES OF PUSH AND PULL, AND KICKBACK

DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL, AND HOW THESE

FORCES MAY AFFECT YOUR BALANCE IN THE

OPERATION OF A UNIT.

KICKBACK. This may occur when the moving blade at

the front of the blade circle contacts strong brush or

trees. The force that occurs pushes the entire unit and

blade violently away in an arc. Kickback is a danger to a

bystander and also a jolting force to the operator.

WARNING DANGER

ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE WHEN A CUTTING

ATTACHMENT JAM OCCURS. DO NOT ATTEMPT

TO REMOVE AN OBJECT CAUSING A JAM IF THE

ENGINE IS RUNNING. SEVERE INJURY CAN

OCCUR IF A JAM IS REMOVED AND THE

CUTTING ATTACHMENT SUDDENLY STARTS.

SCYTHING WEEDS. This is cutting by swinging the

cutting attachment in a level arc. It can quickly clear

areas of field grass and weeds. Scything should not be

used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths.

If a sapling or shrub binds the cutting attachment, do not

use the cutting attachment as a lever to free the bind,

because this will cause cutting attachment failure.

Instead, shut off the engine and push the sapling or

shrub to free the blades.

Do not use a cracked or damaged blade.

SRM-2305

SCALPING AND EDGING: Both of these are done with

the line head or line disc tilted at a steep angle. Scalping

is removing top growth, leaving the earth bare. Edging is

trimming the grass back where it has spread over a

pavement or driveway. During both edging and scalping,

hold the unit at a steep angle in a position where the

debris, and any dislodged dirt and stone, will not come

back towards you even if it ricochets off the hard

surface.

Although the pictures show how to edge and scalp,

every operator must find for himself the angles which

suit his body size and cutting situation.

Debris

For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the nylon cutter so

that contact is made on the part of line circle where the

line is moving away from you and the shield (See

appropriate picture). This results in the debris being

thrown away from you.

Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot the debris

toward you. If the nylon line cutter is held flat to the

ground so that cutting occurs on the whole line circle,

debris will be thrown at you, drag will slow the engine,

and you will use up a lot of line.

Nylon line head or disc

rotates anticlockwise.

The knife will be on the

left side of the shield.

Cut on this side

WARNING DANGER

USE ONLY FLEXIBLE, NON-METALLIC LINE

RECOMMENDED BY KIORITZ CORPORATION.

EdgingScalping

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

(WITH NYLON LINE CUTTING HEAD)

Angle to wall

The basic cutting actions pictured are:

Trimming, scything, scalping and lawn edging.

These actions are as follows:

TRIMMING: This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the

material you wish to cut. Tilt the head slightly to direct

the debris away from you. If cutting up to a barrier such

as a fence, wall or tree, approach from an angle where

any debris ricocheting off the barrier will fly away from

you. Move the line head or line disc slowly until the

grass is cut right up to the barrier, but do not jam

(overfeed) the line into the barrier. If trimming up to wire

mesh or chain link fencing, be careful to feed only up to

the wire. If you go too far, the line will snap off around

the wire.

Trimming can be done to cut through weed stems one at

a time. Place the nylon line cutter near the bottom of the

weed never high up, which could cause the weed to

chatter and catch the line. Rather than cut the weed

right through, just use the very end of the line to wear

through the stem slowly.

Debris

Knife side raised

Angle to ground

SCYTHING: This is the cutting or mowing of large

grassy areas by sweeping or swinging the trimmer in a

level arc. Use a smooth, easy motion. Do not try to hack

or chop down the grass. Tilt the line head or line disc to

direct the debris away from you on the scything stroke.

Then return without cutting grass for another stroke. If

you are well protected and do not care whether some

debris is thrown in your direction, you may scythe in

both directions.
