SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
PERSONAL CONDITION AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT  
WARNING  
DANGER  
Trimmer/Brush Cutter users risk injury to themselves and others if the trimmer/brush cutter is used improperly and or  
safety precautions are not followed. Proper clothing and safety gear must be worn when operating a trimmer.  
Physical Condition --  
Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:  
Hearing Protection --  
ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever  
unit is used.  
• if you are tired or sick,  
• if you are taking medication,  
• if you have taken alcohol or drugs.  
Proper Clothing --  
Wear snug fitting, durable clothing;  
• Pants should have long legs, shirts with long sleeves.  
• DONOTWEARSHORTS,  
Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.  
• DONOTWEARTIES,SCARVES,JEWELRY.  
Eye Protection --  
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE  
requirements whenever you operate the trimmer.  
Wear sturdy work shoes with non-skid soles;  
• DONOTWEAROPENTOEDSHOES,  
• DONOTOPERATEUNITBAREFOOTED.  
Hand Protection --  
Hot Humid Weather --  
Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your  
grip on the Trimmer/Brush Cutter 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  
arecooler.  
EXTENDED OPERATION/EXTREME CONDITIONS  
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 sensations 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 exer-  
cises 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). AnextremeRSIconditionisCarpalTunnelSyndrome  
(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 grasp-  
ing, 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.

Tools required: CrossHeadScrewdriver,4mmHexWrench,Cleaning  
Brush, 25-50mm(1-2in.)mediumbristlepaint  
brush.  
Parts Required: None if you are careful.  
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.

SHARPENING METAL BLADES  
Three styles of metal blades are approved for use on the ECHO Brush  
Cutter. The 8-tooth blade can be sharpened during normal maintenance.  
The clearing blade and 80 tooth blade require professional service.  
Before sharpening, CLOSELY inspect blade for cracks (look at the  
bottom of each tooth and the center mounting hole closely), missing  
teeth and bending. If ANY of these problems are discovered, replace  
the blade.  
When sharpening a blade, always remove the same amount of materials  
from each tooth to maintain balance. A blade that is not balanced will  
cause unsafe handling due to vibration and can result in blade failure.  
8-tooth Blade  
Tool required: Flat file (preferred). Electric grinder if special care is  
used. Round (rat tail) file for gullet (radius).  
1. File each tooth at a 30 degree angle a specific number of times,  
eg. 4 strokes per tooth. Work your way around the blade until  
all teeth are sharp.  
2. DO NOT file the 'gullet' (radius) of the tooth with the flat file.  
The radius must remain. A sharp corner will lead to a crack and  
bladefailure.  
IMPORTANT  
If an electric grinder is used, use care not to overheat teeth. DO  
NOT allow tips/tooth to glow red or turn blue. DO NOT place blade  
in cooling water. This will change the temper of the blade and could  
result in blade failure.  
3. After sharpening teeth, check each tooth radius for evidence of a  
square (sharp) corner. Use the round (rat tail) file to renew the  
radius.
