Retain   hair with cap or net.   Hand Protection   Wear no-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to improve your   grip on the blower handle. Gloves also reduce the trans-   mission of machine vibration to your hands.   Hot Humid Weather   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.   Breathing Protection   Wear a facemask to protect against dust.   Hearing Protection   ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever   unit is used.   WARNING   The ignition 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 informa-   tion, ECHO does not recommend the use of ECHO products by anyone who has a pacemaker.   Vibration and Cold   It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, 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 sen-   sations, followed by loss of color 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, neck, feet, ankles,   hands, and wrists.   • Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm   exercises during frequent work breaks, and also by not smoking.   • Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where   operating the unit 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 further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

An extreme RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which   could occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital nerve that runs through the area.   Some believe that prolonged exposure to vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe pain for months or   even years.   To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:   • Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended, or twisted position.   Instead try to maintain a straight wrist position. Also, when   grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index   finger.   • Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.   • Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive   movement.   • Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.   • Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult a doc-   tor if you feel tingling, numbness, or pain in the fingers, hands,   wrists, or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more   likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.   DANGeR   Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilated   areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and can cause   serious injury or death.   Read the Manuals   • Provide all users of this equipment with the Operator’s Manual   for instructions on Safe Operation.   Clear the Work Area   • Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and   animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 m (50 ft.) while   the unit is in use.   • Take wind conditions into account: avoid open doors and win-   dows.   • Do not point blower at people or animals.   Keep a Firm Grip   • Hold the front and rear handles with both hands, with thumbs   and fingers encircling the handles.   Keep a Solid Stance   • Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slip-   pery, uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions   or on ladders. Do not over reach.   Avoid Hot Surfaces   • Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid contact dur-   ing and immediately after operation.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   6 equIpmenT CheCk   WARNING   Use only ECHO approved attachments.

Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.   • Use an approved fuel container.   • DO NOT smoke near fuel.   • DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.   • Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.   • NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!   • DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.   • DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.   • Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.   • Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.   • Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.   Mixing Instructions   1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount   of gasoline.   2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.   3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.   4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.   IMPORTANT   Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some   states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers   to reduce fuel spillage.   After use   • DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return   unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.   Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local gov-   ernment for the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in   an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied   building, away from sparks and flames.   IMPORTANT   Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in   thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.   IMPORTANT   Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel con-   tainer thoroughly before each use.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position   unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.   WARNING   Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, a face filter mask   and take all safety precautions or serious personal injury may result.   Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.   IMPORTANT   Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or   to comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed   operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston   and cause rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor screen,   resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful   build-up, run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes   every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after ap-   proximately 40 hours of operation.   PB-755SH   A Read the Safety Section carefully.   PB-755ST   A IMPORTANT   To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block   blower pipe opening.   1. Use only during appropriate hours.   2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.   3. PB-755SH   C Set engine speed with throttle lever (A).   PB-755ST   Control engine speed with throttle trigger (C), or throttle position   lever (A). Rotate throttle position lever forward for lower speed,   back for higher speed.   4. Use lower speed to blow dry leaves from walks, patios and   drives.   5. Additional speed may be necessary to clean grass and leaves from   a lawn or flower bed.   6. Higher speed may be necessary to move gravel, dirt, snow, bottles   or cans from a driveway, street, parking lot or stadium.   NOTE   Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task.   Remember, the higher the engine speed, the louder the blower   noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds and by   dampening material with water/mist when necessary. Keep debris   on your property.   Be Smart - be a good neighbor.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
