PERSONAL CONDITION AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
WARNING DANGER
Power Blower users risk injury to themselves and others if the power blower is used improperly and
or safety precautions are not followed. Proper clothing and safety gear must be worn when operating a blower.
Physical Condition
Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:
• if you are tired or sick,
• if you are taking medication,
• if you have taken alcohol or drugs.
Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE
requirements whenever you operate the unit.
Hand Protection
Wear no-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to improve your
grip on the blower handle. Gloves also reduce the
transmission of machine vibration to your hands.
Breathing Protection
Wear a facemask to protect against dust.
Hearing Protection
ECHOrecommendswearinghearingprotectionwhenever
unit is used.
Proper Clothing
Wear snug fitting, durable clothing;
• Pants should have long legs, shirts with long sleeves.
• DONOTWEARSHORTS,
• DONOTWEARTIES,SCARVES,andJEWELRY.

EQUIPMENT
• Check unit for loose/missing nuts, bolts and screws. Tighten
and/or replace as needed.
• Inspect fuel lines, tank and area around carburetor for fuel leaks. DO
NOT operate unit if leaks are found.
• Do not use blower if any part is missing or damaged.
• Have repairs done only by an authorized ECHO Service dealer.
• Do not use any attachment, accessory or replacement part unless it is
recommended in this Operator's Manual.
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 theminimum exposure,which mighttrigger the
ailment,isunknown.
• 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.
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 expo-
sure 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, ex-
tended, 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.
• Takeperiodicbreakstominimizerepeti-
tion and rest your hands.
• Reduce the speed and force with which
you do the repetitive movement.
• Do exercises to strengthen the hand and
armmuscles.
• Immediately stop using all power equip-
ment and consult a doctor if you feel
tingling, numbness, or pain in the fingers,
hands, wrists, or arms. The sooner RSI/
CTSisdiagnosed,the morelikelyperma-
nent nerve and muscle damage can be
prevented.

SAFE OPERATION
WARNING DANGER
Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilated
areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and can cause
serious injury or death.
DetermineOperationArea
• Review area to be cleared. Look for potential hazards such as stones
or metal objects.
• Take wind conditions into account: avoid open doors and windows.
• Do not point blower at people or animals.
• Start unit on ground with throttle at idle. Check that blower pipe is
not blocked by the ground or by any objects.
ReadtheManuals
• Provide all users of this equipment with the Operator's Manual and
Safety Manual for instructions on Safe Operation.
KeepAFirmGrip
• Hold handle with fingers together encircling the handle.
CleartheWorkArea
• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and
animalsprevented fromcoming nearer than15 m (50ft.) whiletheunit
is in use.
KeepASolidStance
• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery,
uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on
ladders.
• Do not perform Maintenance or Assembly procedures with engine
running.
NoiseControl
• Follow local noise regulations on sound
levels and hours of operations. Use only
during appropriate hours.
• Never use a higher speed setting then
necessary to perform a task. The higher
the engine speed the louder the blower
noise.
• Be a good neighbor.
AvoidHotSurfaces
• Duringoperation, the muffler orcatalytic
muffler and surrounding cover may
become extremely hot. Avoid contact
duringand immediatelyafteroperation.
Always keep exhaust area clear of
flammabledebris. Allow theengine and
mufflertocompletelycoolbeforeperform-
ing any maintenance activity.

Level2.
Tools required: 25-50mm(1-2in.)Cleaningbrush,3mmHex
Wrench, Cross Head Screwdriver
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.
Cleaning Grill
1. Brush accumulated debris from crankcase intake grill above the
fueltank.
