•
NEVER use a unit with broken, damaged, missing,
or worn parts. Contact your dealer for repairs if
problems are found.
•
NEVER use substitute parts, parts from other
models or brands, or used parts, when performing
maintenance or repairs. Use only new parts that are
manufactured for your specific serial number and
model trimmer.
•
NEVER make temporary repairs on a unit - taking
shortcuts or using questionable parts and perform-
ing repairs that are not approved by Echo may
create a safety hazard that can cause serious injury.
Improper repair may also cause premature part
failures, and void your product warranty.
•
ALWAYS keep blades sharp. Cutting with dull
blades increases the chances of jams and binding,
reduces cutting efficiency, and increases operator
fatigue.
•
ALWAYS keep hedge clipper blades properly
adjusted. Improperly adjusted blades may result in
poor cutting performance, increased risk of jams,
and premature blade wear or failure.
•
ALWAYS keep blades and gear case properly
lubricated. Poor lubrication can cause result in part
failures and cause overheating.
•
ALWAYS keep fasteners tightened securely, and
use the correct tools for the job. Operation with
loose fasteners can result in hazardous operation.
•
ALWAYS do a safety check after performing any
service or maintenance on the unit. Make sure all
parts have been properly installed, all hardware is
properly tightened, and all guards and shields are in
place.
•
NEVER reach into any opening while the engine is
running. Moving parts may not be visible through
openings.
