Whenusing anelectrical appliance, basicprecautionsshould
always be followed, including the following:
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS BLOWER. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Know your power blower. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
Do not permit children to use blower. It is not a toy.
Close attention is necessary when used near children.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model described in this manual.
Accessories that may be suitable for one blower may
create a risk of injury when used on another blower. Use
only as described in this manual.
Do not handle charger, including charger plug, and
charger terminals with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
Do not charge the unit outdoors.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
Turn off all controls before removing battery.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs or steps.
Do not operate blowers in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Blowers create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at least 50 ft.
away while operating a blower. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
A battery operated blower with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated blower only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
Use battery only with charger listed. For use with
ECHO 58 V lithium-ion battery packs. See Tool/
Appliance/Battery Pack/Charger Correlation Supplement
991000233.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug,
which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized
service center for ECHO brand 58 V outdoor products.
If appliance is not working as it should after being
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to a service center.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power blower. Do not use
blower while tired, upset, or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating blowers may result in serious personal
injury.
Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked
or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying
blowers with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a blower with the switch on invites accidents.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable
support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the blower in unexpected situations.
Do not use blower if switch does not turn it on or off.
A blower that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from blower before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
blower. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the blower accidentally.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the blower’s operation. If damaged, have the
blower serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained blowers.
Keep the blower and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

4 English
Do not point the blower nozzle in the direction of
people or pets.
Never run the unit without the proper equipment
attached. Always ensure the blower tubes are installed.
When not in use, blower should be stored indoors in
a dry, locked up place—out of the reach of children.
Donothang unit sothattheswitch trigger isdepressed.
Do not dispose of a severely damaged or worn out
battery pack or this blower by incinerating. The battery
can explode in fire.
Blower service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a blower, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or
injury.
Never use blower near fires, fireplaces, hot ashes,
barbecue pits, etc. Use near fires or ashes can spread
fires and result in serious injury and/or property damage.
Never use blower to spread chemicals, fertilizers,
or any other toxic substances. Spreading these
substances could result in serious injury to the operator
or bystanders.
Never place blower on any surface, except a hard,
clean surface when motor is running. Gravel, sand,
and other debris can be picked up by the air inlet and
thrown at the operator or bystanders, causing possible
serious injuries.
For household use only.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday
glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
eye injury.
Alwaysweareye protectionwithside shields markedto
comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing protection
when operating this equipment.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Battery blowers do not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery powered blower or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery powered blowers or their
batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly injury.
Don’t expose blowers to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a blower will increase the risk of electric shock.
Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and
gloves. Avoid loose garments or jewelry that could get
caught in moving parts of the machine or its motor.
Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve
your footing on slippery surfaces.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
Check the work area before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string
which canbe thrown or becomeentangled in the machine.
