Additional Safety Warnings - Echo ECPLB-58V Original Instructions Manual

■ Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay
extra attention to what is going on in the working area.
■ Do not get distracted, and always concentrate on your
task.
■ Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk
of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to
enter your working area.
■ Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
■ Always be sure of the footing on slopes. Walk, never
run.
■ Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
Rotating impeller blades can cause severe injury.
■ Never run the product without the proper equipment
attached.
■ Do not operate the product without both the nozzle and
lower tube attached.
■ Do not modify the product in any way or use parts
and accessories that are not recommended by the
manufacturer.
WARNING!
If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact, or begins
to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product and
inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.
Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorised service centre.

■ Immediately switch off and remove the battery pack
in the event of accident or breakdown. Do not operate
the product again until it has been fully checked by an
authorised service centre.
■ The product is provided with a cruise control lever
near the trigger. Cruise control sets the speed at a
convenient level to provide enough power to achieve
the task. Low running speed will help reduce noise and
vibration. Cruise control helps reduce operator fatigue.
■ Press the turbo boost to increase the air flow to the
maximum velocity. The turbo boost will override the
cruise control feature. The blower will return to the
previously selected speed when the button is released.
