The gloves also help reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your hands. 2 PROTECTING OTHERS PHYSICAL CONDITION Spectators, children, fellow workers and animals must be warned to come no nearer than 33 feet while the trimmer is in use. People working in the area near you should wear the same protective equipment as the operator. AVOID DAMAGE TO TRIMMER • If the trimmer is operated for extended periods in high temperatures, the drive shaft housing may become very hot (too hot to touch). Allow unit to cool and check lubrication as outlined in service section before continuing. • Do not run trimmer at full throttle without load. Your judgement and/or dexterity may be impaired if you are ill or have taken alcohol or other substances known to affect the way you would normally function. Operate only when in sound mind and body. WARNING A DANGER PRECAUTION AGAINST VIBRATION AND COLD It Is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenomenon which affects the fingers of certain individuals Is brought about by exposure to cold and vibration. Exposure to cold and vibration may cause tingling and burning, followed by loss of color and numbness in a person’s fingers. We strongly recommend taking the following precautions because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is unknown. • Keep your body warm - especially head, neck, feet and ankles, and hands and wrists. • Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and also by not smoking. • Limit the number of hours of operation. Try to fill a part of each work day with jobs where operating the trimmer or other hand-held power tools is not required. • If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the fingers, followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician before exposing yourself further to cold and vibration.__ 3 OPERATION FUEL The engine uses two-stroke fuel, a mixture of gasoline and specially blended Echo branded 2-stroke oil. 50:1 preferred, 32:1 alternate choice.
