• ALWAYS use only Echo-approved attachments and
edger blades.
• NEVER operate edger with damaged or missing
debris shield.
• NEVER adjust edger blade height with engine
running. Stop engine, disconnect spark plug lead,
and make adjustments.
• NEVER carry edger around the work site while the
blade or attachment is rotating. ALWAYS shut the
engine off and let the blade or attachment stop
before lifting the edger and moving to a new posi-
tion.
• ALWAYS avoid contact with engine, muffler area,
and gear case during and immediately after opera-
tion. These areas get extremely hot, and touching
them can cause serious burns.
• ALWAYS wear work gloves to protect hands from
sharp edges or hot surfaces.
• NEVER allow edger blade to strike concrete or
other hard surfaces. Blade contact with hard sur-
faces can dislodge pieces of sidewalk, curb, paved
surfaces, or other hard materials, and cause serious
injury from flying debris.
• NEVER set depth of blade cut deeper than 1/2”
below guide surface. Cutting too deep increases
risk of edger kickout from cut and possible loss of
control of unit.
• ALWAYS keep edger blade vertical during edging -
NEVER operate with blade tilted at an angle.
• ALWAYS operate edger only when conditions
provide good visibility and clear line of sight to
edging cut line.
• ALWAYS release trigger and allow blade to come
to a stop before lifting unit out of the cut.
• ALWAYS release trigger and stop engine if some-
one enters the 50 foot radius danger zone. Wait for
visitor to leave the danger zone area before restart-
ing engine.
• NEVER leave a power edger running while ground
or guide surface debris is being removed. Shut the
engine off, and place the unit in a safe place where it
will not be a trip hazard.
