SRM-2620T
Hand Protection
Wear sturdy, no-slip, rubber work gloves to improve your grip on the handles.
Gloves also provide protection against cuts and scratches, cold environments,
and reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your hands.
Hearing/Ear Protection
ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever unit is used.
Breathing Protection
Operators who are sensitive to dust or other common airborne allergens may
need to wear a dust mask to prevent inhaling these materials while operating
unit. Dust masks can provide protection against dust, plant debris, and other
plant matter such as pollen. Make sure the mask does not impair your vision,
and replace the mask as needed to prevent air restrictions.
Proper Clothing
Wear snug-fitting, durable clothing:
• Pants should have long legs, shirts should have long sleeves.
• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS.
• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARVES, JEWELRY, or clothing with loose or
hanging items that could become entangled in moving parts or surrounding
growth.
• Keep clothing buttoned or zipped, and keep shirt tails tucked in.
Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid rubber soles:
• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES.
• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.
Keep long hair away from engine and air intake. Retain hair with cap or net.
Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatigue, which may lead to heat
stroke. Schedule heavy work for early morning or late afternoon hours when
temperatures are cooler.
The components of this machine generate an electromagnetic field
during operation, which may interfere with some pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with pacemakers
should consult with their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this machine. In the absence of
such information, ECHO does not recommend the use of this
machine by anyone who has a pacemaker.
