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

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

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.
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.
When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting
attachment has stopped before the unit is set down.
A cutting attachment can injure while it continues to
spin after the engine is stopped or throttle control is
released.
If the cutting attachment rotates after the engine
returns to idle, carburettor adjustment is required.
You can follow this operator's manual to make the
adjustment yourself, or have the carburettor adjusted
by your ECHO dealer.
All maintenance and adjustments given in the

the ECHO servicing dealer.
Never attempt to use an incomplete machine or one
fitted with unauthorized modification.
Always use both hands on the handles.
Do not operate one-handed.
Always hold the unit with the fingers and thumbs
encircling the handles.
