Pro Attachment Series^TMusers risk injury to themselves and others if the Pro Attachment Series^TMunit is used im-

properly and or safety precautions are not followed. Proper clothing and safety gear must be worn when operating a

Pro Attachment Series^TMunit.

Physical Condition

Proper Clothing

Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:

• if you are tired or sick,

Wear snug ﬁtting, durable clothing;

• Pants should have long legs, shirts with long sleeves.

• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS,

• if you are taking medication,

• if you have taken alcohol or drugs.

Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.

• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARFS, JEWELRY.

Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid 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.

Eye Protection

Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE re-

quirements whenever you operate the unit.

Hand Protection

Hot Humid Weather

Wear no-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to improve your

grip on the handles. Gloves also reduce the transmission

of machine vibration to your hands.

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.

Hearing Protection

ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever

unit is used.

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 trimmer 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.

Repetitive Stress Injuries

It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the ﬁngers, hands, arms, and shoulders may cause soreness,

swelling, numbness, weakness, and extreme pain in those areas. Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high

risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). 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. In-

stead 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 move-

ment.

•

Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.

Immediately stop using all power equipment, and consult a doctor 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.

wArning

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 and

Safety 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.

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 slippery,

uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on lad-

ders. Do not over reach.

Avoid hot Surfaces

• Keep exhaust area clear of ﬂammable debris. Avoid contact during

and immediately after operation.

wArning

Moving parts can amputate ﬁngers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all

openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete

stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.

wArning

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconscious-

ness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is directed

away from your face and body.

wArning

Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start ﬁres around dry vegetation. This unit is equipped

with a spark arrestor and a spark arrestor may be required. The operator should contact local ﬁre agencies for

laws or regulations relating to ﬁre prevention requirements.

f u e l

NOTICE: Use of unmixed, improperly mixed, or fuel older than 90 days, (stale fuel), may cause hard starting, poor

performance, or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Storage

section of this manual.

wArning

Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO requirements are

NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may cause performance prob-

lems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to,

improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carbu-

retors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to

10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol)

IMPORTANT

To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air

must pass freely through the cylinder ﬁn area. This ﬂow of air

carries combustion heat away from the engine.

Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:

• Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the

cylinder.

• Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build up

insulates the engine and prevents the heat from leaving.

Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cooling ﬁns is

considered “Normal Maintenance.” Any failure attributed to lack of

maintenance is not warranted.

1. Remove spark plug lead.

2. Remove air cleaner cover.

3. Remove mufﬂer cover screw and mufﬂer cover (A).

4. Remove 2 engine cover screws and engine cover (B).
