SAFETY
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the warnings refers to your BATTERY-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING (THIS POWER TOOL)

SAFETY
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat or hearing protection used appropriately will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before connecting to power source and/or battery and when picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you
to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the
battery, from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or

SAFETY
• binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery Tool Use and Care
• Recharge only with ECHO eFORCE™ 56V battery series chargers.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of re
when used with another battery.
• Use only with ECHO eFORCE™ 56V battery series. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of injury and re.
• When battery 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 burns or re.
• Do not open or destroy the battery. Electrolytes contained within the
battery are corrosive and may cause damage to eyes or skin if released. It
may be toxic if swallowed.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Exercise care in handling batteries to avoid shorting the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, etc. The battery
or conductor may overheat and cause burns if contact with said materials
is made.
• Do not use a battery or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged
or modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery or tool to re or excessive temperature.
Exposure to re or temperature above 266 °F (130 °C) may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery or tool
outside the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specied range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of re.

of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields marked to comply with ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use
face mask if operating in dusty work spaces.
• Avoid dangerous environment – Don’t expose power tools to damp or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Don’t use in rain.
• Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 15 m. /50 ft. away.
• Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be
caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
• Use the right machine. Do not use the machine for any job except that for
which it is intended.
• Avoid unintentional starting – Don’t carry the machine with nger on
switch. Be sure switch is off when battery is plugged in.
