Operation With Blades
Metal blades are very sharp and can cause severe injuries, even if engine
is off and blades are not moving. Avoid contact with blades. Wear gloves
to protect hands. Blade use demands specific brush cutter configuration.
Operation without specified shield, barrier bar or U-handle, and harness
can result in serious personal injury. Follow installation instructions.

*ANSI standards require brushcutters be equipped with a barrier bar or
restrictive harness. U-Handle ensures a higher safety factor.
** Grass trimmers do not require a harness if dry weight is below 6.0 kg
(13.2 lb). For grass trimmers having a dry weight of 6.0 kg (13.2 lb) to 7.5 kg
(16.5 lb), a single-shoulder harness is required. A harness may be used as
outlined in the Operator's Manual.
*** Brushcutters require at least a single shoulder harness if the dry weight is
below 7.5 kg (16.5 lb).
Use only ECHO approved parts. Failure to use the correct parts can
cause the blade to fly off. Seriously injury to the operator and / or
bystanders can occur.
Before Each Use When Using a Blade:
• Verify the handles are installed according to the manufacturers
instructions. Use only ECHO approved parts. Failure to use the correct
parts can cause the blade to fly off. Seriously injury to the operator and
/ or bystanders can occur.
• Arbor diameter of upper blade plate must match arbor diameter of
blades.
• For barrier bar, follow installation instructions.
• Make sure blade is secured properly.
• A new cotter pin is required each time a blade is installed.

• Shoulder harnesses can be used on all trimmers and brushcutters to
reduce operator fatigue. Brushcutters over 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs.) dry weight
(without fuel) and U- handle brushcutters REQUIRE a double shoulder
harness.
Note: The barrier bar is used to restrict rearward movement of the unit. The
barrier bar is not a handle and should not be gripped when using or
carrying the unit.
Blade Selection
Clearing
<63.5 mm
(2.5 in.)
The type of blade used MUST be matched to the type and size of material
cut. An improper or dull blade can cause serious personal injury. Blades
MUST be sharp. Dull blades increase the chance of kick-out and injury to
22 tooth
yourself and bystanders. Never use an edging blade, circular saw blade,
blade
or any other type of unapproved blade.
• 3-Tooth Grass/Weed Blades can be used wherever the nylon line head
is used. DO NOT use this blade for heavy weeds or brush.
• 8 Tooth Weed/Grass Blade is designed for grass, garden debris and
thick weeds up to 19 mm (0.75 in.) diameter. DO NOT use this blade for
brush or heavy woody growth.
• 80 Tooth Brush Blade is designed for cutting brush and woody growth
up to 13 mm (0.5 in.) diameter.
• 22 Tooth Clearing Blade is designed for dense thickets and saplings up
to 64 mm (2.5 in.) diameter.
A trimmer-brushcutter with a metal blade can cause serious injuries if
handled improperly.
Always use extreme care when carrying or handling the equipment to avoid
contact with the cutting edges of the blade. Use the optional blade cover when
unit is not in use.
Keep blades in protective packaging until ready
to install. Store blades safely after removal to
prevent injury from accidental contact.
Use blade protectors to protect blade teeth during
unit transportation.
Use Shoulder/Waist Harness
Use of the shoulder/waist harness is
recommended for ALL Trimmer/brushcutter
use, not just blade operation. The shoulder/
waist harness when used in a trimming
operation with nylon line head suspends
the trimmer from the operator's shoulder
and reduces operator fatigue.
During blade operation, the same fatigue
reduction is achieved. Safety to the
operator is also enhanced by reducing
the possibility of blade contact with the
operator's hands and feet by restricting
trimmer movement.
Make sure the warning sign on the back of
the shoulder harness can be read easily.
Note: In case of Emergency, disconnect the trimmer from the harness.
