PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
WARNING
Operating a power hedge clipper exposes you to sharp,
fast-moving blades, powerful cutting action, flying de-
bris, sharp sticks and branches, and other work area
hazards. These hazards can cause serious injury to you
and others if you do not take the precautions necessary
to protect yourself.
To help protect against injury caused by these hazards,
you must wear appropriate personal protective equip-
ment:
Eye and Face Protection
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 require-
ments. For additional safety, a full-face shield may we
worn over safety goggles to provide protection from
sharp branches or flying debris.
Hearing/Ear Protection
Echo highly recommends wearing ANSI-approved
hearing protection whenever you are operating the unit.
Hearing protection prevents hearing loss caused by
frequent or prolonged exposure to engine noise. Echo
recommends ear plugs, or for constant, heavy-duty use,
wear earmuff-style hearing protection.
Combination Head/Eye/Face/Hearing Protection
For complete eye/face/hearing protection, the use of a
combination safety helmet/ear muffs/face shield pro-
vides head, face, and hearing protection all in one unit.
