The components of this machine generate an electromagnetic field
during operation, which may interfere with some pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with pacemakers
should consult with their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this machine. In the absence of
such information, ECHO does not recommend the use of this
machine by anyone who has a pacemaker.
Extended Operation / Extreme Conditions
Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may result in injury.
Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to minimize
risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions may result in painful
wrist/hand/arm injuries.
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
sensations, 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.
