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 Power 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 blower.

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 face mask to protect against dust.

Hearing Protection

ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection whenever
unit is used.

Proper Clothing

Wear snug fitting, durable clothing;
• Pants should have long legs, shirts with long sleeves.
• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS,
• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARVES, JEWELRY.

Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid soles;
• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES,
• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT BAREFOOTED.
Keep long hair away from engine and blower intake. Retain
hair with cap or net.

Hot Humid Weather

Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatigue
which may lead to heat stroke. Schedule heavy work for
early morning or late afternoon hours when temperatures
are cooler.
