Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatigue, which may lead to heat

stroke. Schedule heavy work for early morning or late afternoon hours when

temperatures are cooler.

The components of this machine generate an electromagnetic field

during operation, which may interfere with some pacemakers. To

reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with pacemakers

should consult with their physician and the pacemaker

manufacturer before operating this machine. In the absence of

such information, ECHO does not recommend

the use of this

machine by anyone who has a pacemaker.

Extended Operation / Extreme Conditions

Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may result in injury.

Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to minimize

risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions may result in painful

wrist/hand/arm injuries.

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 unit 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.
