Start on ground with cutting attachment in the clear GENERAL OPERATION E N G L I S H Do not run the engine indoors, or where there is poor ventilation. Engine fumes contain deadly poisonous carbon monoxide. Do not operate with a worn or damaged cutting attachment. Do not run engine at full throttle without a load. Do not hit rocks, stones, tree stumps, and other foreign objects with the cutting attachment. Lay the unit down on a clear area and set the controls for starting.
15 m Do not allow anyone to enter the operating DANGER ZONE with you. The danger zone is an area of 15 m in radius. Insist that persons in the RISK ZONE beyond the danger zone wear eye protection to protect them from thrown objects. If the unit must be used where there are unprotected people, operate at a low throttle speed to reduce the risk. Do not raise the cutting attachment above knee height. If raised higher, the cutting attachment will be more directly in line with your face.
E N G L I S H Stop the engine before leaving the machine, children are not allowed to use the machine , stop the machine between different working places. Sudden vibration? Shut down immediately! Shut down immediately if the unit starts to shake or vibrate. If you are approached, stop the engine and cutting attachment immediately. Keep your hands and body away from silencer to prevent heat injury while the engine is hot.
Keep feet and hands away until rotation stops. Do not operate one-handed When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting attachment stops before the unit is set down. All maintenance and adjustments given in this manual should be performed by you or your ECHO servicing dealer on a timely basis. All required service or repair must be done only by ECHO servicing dealer. Never attempt to use an incomplete or one fitted with unauthorized modification.
E N G L I S H SCYTHING WEEDS. This is cutting by swinging the cutting attachment in a level arc. It can quickly clear areas of field grass and weeds. Scything should not be used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths. WARNING DANGER ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE WHEN A CUTTING ATTACHMENT JAM OCCURS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE AN OBJECT CAUSING A JAM IF THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. SEVERE INJURY CAN OCCUR IF A JAM IS REMOVED AND THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT SUDDENLY STARTS.
2 1 Anticlockwise rotation 1. Push 2. Pull Kickback REACTION FORCES WARNING PULL. The opposite of push. When object on left, the operator may feel the unit pull away. Although this pull type of cutting may cause sawdust to be thrown back at the operator, it is recommended for sawing off heavy brush because the cutting is smoother and more stable than when the unit pushes.
