Hearing/Ear Protection
ECHO Inc. highly recommends wearing ANSI recognized
hearing protection whenever you are operating the unit.
Hearing protection prevents hearing loss caused by
frequent or prolonged exposure to engine noise. ECHO
Inc. recommends ear plugs, or for constant heavy-duty
use, wear earmuff-style hearing protection.
Combination Face/Hearing Protection
For complete face/hearing protection, the use of
combination ear muffs/face shield provides face and
hearing protection all in one unit.
ALWAYS
wear safety glasses or goggles under the face
shield, and wear head protection when cutting overhead
using a PAS or SB unit with Power Pruner or Hedge
Clipper Attachments.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Gloves
WARNING
Sharp Blades/Powerful Cutting Action. Contact with sharp edges
of moving blades and attachments will cause severe injury or am-
putation. Keep hands, fingers, and all other body parts away. Work
gloves and other heavy work clothing do not protect against serious
injury if contact is made with moving blades or attachments.
Wear sturdy work gloves to provide protection against cuts and
scratches, and to help reduce the effects of vibration.
