Keep feet and
hands away
NEVER install any other type of blade, line head, cutting
attachment, part, or accessory on your trimmer/
brushcutter unless it is approved by Echo for use on
your specific model. Parts and accessories that ap-
pear to fit properly may create a safety hazard when the
unit is operated, and could result in serious injury to
operator and bystanders.
ALWAYS use the correct tools for assembly. Using
incorrect or improperly sized tools can result in a sud-
den slip and serious injuries.
ALWAYS follow the assembly instructions in order, as
shown in the Operator’s Manual. Improper assembly
can result in sudden part failure, and serious injuries.
NEVER use parts that appear to be worn, damaged,
improperly sized, or otherwise incompatible with mating
parts. Contact your dealer or Echo Consumer Support
for assistance if parts do not fit properly.
NEVER modify parts or use parts from other pieces of
equipment to assemble your unit. Use only parts that
are designed to fit your model. Modifying a part to fit
may weaken it, and cause premature failure. Parts from
other models may not work properly, and can create
unsafe operating conditions.
Wiring
Position wiring safely to prevent snagging, separation
of connectors, or breakage during operation. Gather
excess wire, and secure with wiring clamp if provided
on unit, or tuck behind the air filter area. Do not place
wiring directly against hot engine components.
Check wiring and connectors for nicks, cuts, exposed
wire, or other damage, and repair or replace as
needed. Exposed wire or connectors can cause
shocks, sparks, and risk of fire or explosion, resulting in
serious injury.
Check wire terminals for secure connections. Loose
connections can cause erratic engine operation, or
prevent Stop switch from stopping engine.
