The Operator’s Manual and this manual must be read and under-  
stood for proper and safe operation.  
• Wear eye, face, head, hearing, hand and proper clothing for protec-  
tion.  
• Review the area to be trimmed. Look for hazards that could contribu-  
tor to unsafe conditions. DO NOT operate unit if any wires (power,  
telephone, cable, etc.) are closer than 15M (50 ft.) to any part of the  
operator or unit. PPT-2100/2400 are not insulated against electical  
current.  
• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and  
animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 M (50 ft.) while the  
Power Pruner is in use.  
• Before each use inspect the entire attachment for breaks or cracks. If  
the Hedger is damaged in any way repair it immediately. DO NOT USE  
ADAMAGEDATTACHMENT.  
• Use only a sharp, properly secured blade approved by ECHO for the  
Power Pruner Hedger Attachment.  
• Use only one ECHO approved extension on the Pruner.  
• Cut only wood. Avoid striking concrete, metal, wire, or other obstruc-  
tions which could cause kickout or damage to the blade.  
• ECHO, INC. will not be responsible for the failure of cutting devices  
or accessories which have not been tested and approved by ECHO  
for use with this unit.

KICKOUT  
WARNING  
DANGER  
Kickout can lead to dangerous loss of control of the Power Pruner  
and result in serious injury to the operator or anyone standing  
close by.  
Kickout may occur when the moving blade accidentally touches an  
object, or when the blade contacts material it cannot cut. In some cases  
this may cause a lightning-fast reverse action, thrusting the Power  
Pruner up and toward or down and away from the operator. Either of  
these reactions may cause the operator to lose control of the unit which  
could result in serious personal injury.  
With a basic understanding of kickout, you can reduce or eliminate the  
element of surprise which contributes to accidents.  
Hold the unit firmly with both hands. Be aware of the path the cutting  
attachment will take after the cut is made.  
The blade will continue to coast after throttle is released. Avoid  
accidental contact of the blade with any object while the blade is  
moving.  
Cut only wood. Avoid striking concrete, metal, wire or other obstruc-  
tions which could cause kickout or damage to the blade.  
If the blade does strike a foreign object, immediately stop the engine,  
inspect and repair the Power Pruner if necessary.  
NOTE  
Refer to Safe Operation section, in your Power Pruner Operator’s  
Manual, for proper shoulder strap adjustment.

NOTE  
Refer to your Power Pruner Operator’s Manual for correct engine  
fueling, starting and stopping instructions.  
WARNING  
DANGER  
All over head electrical conductors and communications wires can  
have electricity flow with high voltages. Never touch wires directly  
or indirectly when pruning, otherwise serious injury or death may  
result.  
PRUNING TECHNIQUES  
The Hedger attachment is designed for light to medium trimming of new  
growth limbs and branches up to 38mm (1-1/2") in diameter. Follow  
these tips for successful operation.  
• Plancutcarefully. Checkdirectiondebriswillfall.  
• Plan retreat path from falling debris. Cut branches bounce when  
striking ground.  
• Inspect area for hidden electrical lines.  
• Do not stand directly beneath material being cut.  
• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and  
animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 M (50 ft.) while the  
Power Pruner is in use.  
• Use a short sweeping motion to shape trees and shrubs.  
• When ready to cut:  
1. Accelerate to full throttle.  
2. Tilt the top of the hedger slightly toward the hedge when making  
an upward sweep. Tilt the bottom of the hedger slightly toward the  
hedge when making a downward sweep. The hedger will cut in both  
directions.  
3. For heavier trimming it may be necessary to slow the sweeping  
motion to ensure optimum cut.  
• DO NOT use for felling or bucking.  
MAINTENANCE  
• Grease gear case with lithium based grease every 3 months/100 hours  
or 6 months/1 year.
