Echo SRM series, Safety Manual

Page: 39 / 52

ENGLISH
• NEVER
use unit within 15 meters (50 feet)
of any power lines or wires that may be
conducting electricity. Contact with wires
carrying electrical current can result in shock
or electrocution.
• NEVER exceed the cutting capacity of the
hedge clippers - forcing the blades to cut
materials thicker than the hedge clipper is
designed to handle will result in jams, blade
damage, and poor overall performance.
• ALWAYS use a suitable tool such as a power
pruner or chain saw to cut branches larger than the hedge clipper will allow.
• NEVER
attempt to cut more than 6 inches from a hedge or shrub in one
cutting pass. Use multiple passes for cleaner, safer cuts, and better control.
• ALWAYS stop engine and disconnect spark plug lead before removing a
blade obstruction.
• NEVER use dull, loose, or damaged blades. Keep blades properly adjusted
and lubricated at all times.
• NEVER
adjust blades when engine is running. Shut engine off, and
disconnect spark plug lead from spark plug.
• ALWAYS use correct tools to perform blade adjustments. Use long
wrenches to keep hands away from sharp blade edges.
• ALWAYS place blade cover on blades when
transporting or storing unit.
