Hearing/Ear Protection
Echo 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
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 combi-
nation 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 amputation. Keep hands, fin-
gers, 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 attach-
ments.
Wear sturdy work gloves to provide protection against
cuts and scratches, and to help reduce the effects of
vibration.
