Echo SB Safety Manual page 24

STARTING
The cutting head/work attachment (nylon line head,
blade, or PAS/SB attachment) must not move at idle,
otherwise serious personal injury may result. Periodic
carburetor adjustment may be necessary to assure the
cutting head/PAS attachment does not move at idle. If
the cutting head/work attachment moves at idle, re-
adjust carburetor according to "Carburetor Adjustment"
instructions and idle speed specifications provided in
your Operator's Manual. See your Echo dealer or
contact Echo Consumer Support at 1-800-432-ECHO.
for help if you have any questions.
Follow these important safety rules when starting your
unit:
• DO NOT use unit if cutting head/work attachment
moves while engine is idling (throttle trigger not
depressed). Adjust idle speed as instructed in your
unit's Operator's Manual before using unit.
• NEVER start or run your unit indoors or anywhere
else where there is poor air circulation. Indoor
operation produces dangerous levels of Carbon
Monoxide, a colorless and odorless poisonous gas.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) causes nausea and other
flu-like symptoms if breathed. Prolonged exposure
to CO may cause loss of consciousness, brain
damage, or death.
• NEVER start a unit near a gasoline container or
spilled gasoline.
• ALWAYS move at least 3 m (10 ft.) away from
refueling location before starting engine.
• If a protective blade cover is used, ALWAYS re-
move blade cover before starting unit. Keep blade
cover nearby, and place cover back on blade when
unit is off and blade has stopped.
• NEVER start a PAS/HCA (extended shaft, articulat-
ing blade) unit while blade is in folded/locked posi-
tion. Make cutting angle adjustment first.
