Weed Eater Needie RD177 Operator`s manual
Weed Eater Needie RD177 is a versatile tool powered by a 25cc gas engine, making it suitable for a variety of lawn and garden tasks.
Its 17-inch cutting swath allows you to trim large areas of grass and weeds quickly and efficiently. The string trimmer head is bump-feed, which means you can easily advance the line by tapping the head on the ground while trimming.
The Needie RD177 also features a fixed-line trimmer head, which is ideal for precise edging and trimming around obstacles. The telescoping shaft can be adjusted to the user's height, and the padded shoulder strap provides comfort during extended use.

PERSONAL CONDITION AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
WARNING DANGER
Trimmer/Brush Cutter users risk injury to themselves and others if the trimmer/brush cutter is used improperly and or safety precautions are not followed. Proper clothing and safety gear must be worn when operating a trimmer.
Physical Condition --
Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:
• if you are tired or sick,
• if you are taking medication,
• if you have taken alcohol or drugs.
Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.
Eye Protection --
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE requirements whenever you operate the trimmer.
Hand Protection --
Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your grip on the
Trimmer/Brush Cutter handles. Gloves also reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your hands.

SAFE OPERATION
Determine Operation Area
• Provide all operators of this equipment with the Operator's Manual and instructions for safe operation.
• Review the area to be trimmed. Look for hazards that could contribute to unsafe conditions.
• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 m (50 ft.) while the trimmer is in use.
Operation
Use Proper Clothing & Equipment
• Before starting the unit, equip yourself and any other person working within the 15 m (50 ft.) Safety Zone with the required
Protective Equipment and clothing.
15 m (50 ft.)
WARNING DANGER
Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and can cause serious injury or death.
Avoid Hot Surfaces
• During operation, the complete unit, especially the drive shaft housing and the bearing housing may become very hot, too hot to touch. Avoid contact during and immediately after operation.
Keep A Firm Grip
• Hold the front and rear handles with both hands with thumbs and fingers encircling the handles
Keep A Solid Stance
• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery, uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on ladders. Do not over reach.
8
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 trimmer 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 activities may put you at a high risk for developing a Repetitive 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 & force in which you do the repetitive movement.
• Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.
• Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult 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.

FUEL
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [ ] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known
2 to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasohol containing methyl (wood) alcohol is NOT approved.
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD Standard
(ISO/CD 13738), must be used. Echo brand Premium 50:1 oil meets this standard. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD approved oil, such as Echo Premium 50:1
Two-stroke Oil, will void the two-stroke engine warranty. (Emission related parts only are covered for two years, regardless of two-stroke oil used, per the statement listed in the EPA Phase I/California Emission
Defect Warranty Explanation.)
IMPORTANT
Echo Premium 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo engines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.
Mixing Instructions
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of gasoline.
2. Add 2-stroke oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline and remix.
5. Install fuel container cap and wipe any spilled fuel from container and surrounding area.
Handling Fuel
WARNING DANGER
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling, or serious personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT!

Your ECHO trimmer is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will help your trimmer achieve that goal. If you are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to take your unit to an ECHO Service Dealer for maintenance. To help you decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the
ECHO Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed see your Echo dealer for repairs.
SKILL LEVEL
Level 1 = Easy to do. Most required tools come with unit.
Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.
Level 3 = Experience required. Specialized tools are required. ECHO recommends that the unit be returned to your ECHO dealer for servicing.
ECHO offers REPOWER TM Maintenance Kits and Parts to make your maintenance job easier. Just below each task heading are listed the various part numbers required for that task. See your ECHO dealer for these parts.

COOLING SYSTEMS CLEANING
Level 2.
Tools required: Cross Head Screwdriver, 3 mm Hexagon wrench,
Pointed Wood Stick, Cleaning Brush, 25-50 mm (1-2 in.) medium bristle paint brush.
Parts Required: None.
IMPORTANT
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air carries combustion heat away from the engine.
Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
• Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the cylinder.
• Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build up insulates the engine and prevents the heat from leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cooling fins is considered “Normal Maintenance”. Any failure attributed to lack of maintenance is not warranted.
1.
Remove spark plug lead and throttle linkage end from the carburetor swivel.
2.
Remove the four screws that retain the cover. Two at the top of the
Recoil Starter, two on either side of the front. Lift the cover from the engine and lay to the front of the trimmer.
NOTE
The throttle linkage remains assembled to the cover and the spark plug lead and grommet remain installed.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use a metal scraper to remove dirt from the cylinder fins.
3.
Use the wooden stick or brush to remove dirt from the cylinder fins.
4.
Remove grass and leaves from the grid between the starter and fuel tank.
