OPERATION

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. 
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings. 
Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all 
moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing 
obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a 
poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious 
injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS 
position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face 
and body.

Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start 
fires around dry vegetation. This unit is equipped with a spark 
arrestor to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine. 
Metal cutters can also create sparks if the cutter strikes rocks, 
metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for 
laws or regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.

Fuel

Diesel fuels and alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), 
E -85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO 
requirements are NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke 
gasoline engines. Use of diesel or alternative fuels may cause 
performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor 
lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not 
limited to, improper clutch engagement. Diesel or alternative 
fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, 
gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.
