WARNING A DANGER READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING
A Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of Callfornia to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING A The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

OPERATOR SAFETY
-
Read this Engine drill Operator’s Manual carefully. Be sure you understand how to operate this unit properly before you use it.
-
Be familiar with all the controls and the proper use of the machine.
-
Wear proper clothing to protect legs and other exposed parts of your body.
-
Wear non-skid sole shoes. Do not wear open-toed shoes or operate unit while bare footed.
-
Wear eye and hearing protection devices.
-
Use caution when handling fuel. Put the caps back tightly on both the fuel can and the engine drill fuel tank. Move at least 3 m (10 feet) from the refuelling point and be sure there is no leakage of fuel from the fuel tank cap or the fuel system before starting the engine.
-
Operate this gasoline-powered engine equipment in a well-ventilated area only.
-
Start the unit on the ground with the throttle set at idle.
-
Do not start if the drills are obstructed by the ground or any other object.
-
Never allow children to use the machine.
-
Do not allow anyone to hold the material you are drilling. Keep a firm grip on the engine drill with both hands, the right hand on the front handle, the left hand on the rear handle.
-
Do all drilling at full throttle speed. Drilling at less at than full speed can damage the clutch by allowing it to slip.
WARNING A DANGER USE A FIRM GRIP WITH THUMBS AND FINGERS ENCIRCLING THE HANDLES. A FIRM GRIP WILL HELP YOU KEEP CONTROL OF THE ENGINE DRILL. NEVER OPERATE THE ENGINE DRILL ONLY ONE HAND OR BODILY INJURY CAN OCCUR. -
Always carry the engine drill with the engine stopped and the HOT muffler away from your body.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
- Always wear eye protection goggles that meet ANSI Z87.1 standards.
- Wear hearing protection. ECHO recommends that hearing protection be worn at all times.
- Dress properly! Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can be caught in moving parts. Use of sturdy gloves, non-skid footwear, and safety glasses is recommended.
- While operating the machine always be sure of a secure position.
- Wear non-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to improve your grip on the engine drill handles. The gloves also help reduce the transmission of machine vibrations to your hands.
PROTECTING OTHERS
Spectators, children, fellow workers and animals must be warned to come no
nearer than 4.6 m (15 feet) while the engine drill is in use. People working
in the area near you should wear the same protective equipment as the
operator.
PHYSICAL CONDITION
Your judgement and dexterity may be impaired if you are ill or have taken
alcohol or other substances known to affect the way you would normally
function.
EXTENDED OPERATION/ EXTREME CONDITIONS
Vibration and Cold
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which affects the
fingers of certain individuals may be brought about by exposure to vibration
and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning
sensations followed by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The
following precautions are strongly recommended because the minimum exposure
which might trigger the ailment is unknown.
- Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
- Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.
- Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the engine drill or other hand-held power equipment is not required.
- If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
Repetitive Stress
Injuries
It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands,
arms and shoulders may cause soreness, swelling, numbness, weakness and
extreme pain in those areas. Certain repetitive hand activites may put you at
a high risk for developing a Repetitives Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme RSI
condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which could occur when your wrist
swells and squeezes a vital nerve that runs through the area. Some believe
that prolonged exposure to vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause
severe pain for months or even years. To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the
following:
- Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position. Instead try to maintain a straight wrist position. Also, when grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger.
- Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.
- Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive movement.
- Do exercise to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.
- See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in the fingers,hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.

- Place ignition switch in ON (START/RUN) position.
- Push purge bulb 3 to 4 times (or until fuel is visible in fuel return line).
- Shift choke shutter to close position. (START)
- Open throttle trigger to a fast idie.
- Pull recoil starter until the engine fires.
- Shift choke shutter to full open position, and if necessary, start the engine again and allow to warm up before using.
- The clutch engages at approximatery 3,500 r/min. Therefore the cutter may rotate at fast idle engine speed.
STARTING WARM ENGINE
