quirements whenever you operate the trimmer.

Hand Protection

Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your 

grip on the Trimmer/Brush Cutter handles.  Gloves also

hands.  

Hearing Protection

ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever

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 sen-

sations followed by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended 

because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is unknown. 

•  Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands 

and wrists.

•  Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exer-

cises during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.

•  Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where 

operating the trimmer 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.
