Do Not install blades on GT (Curved Shaft) model trimmers.
Use only ECHO approved parts. Failure to use the correct parts can
cause the blade to fly off. Serious injury to the operator and/or bystanders
can occur.
Arbor diameter of upper blade plate must match arbor diameter of blades.
For barrier bar or U-handle, follow instructions supplied with either blade
conversion kit or U-handle kit, and verify blade is secured properly.
A new cotter pin is required each time a blade is installed.
Shoulder harnesses may 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:
Not all blades are compatible with all trimmers. Visit www.echo-
usa.com or www.shindaiwa-usa.com to find compatible blades
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 yourself and bystanders. Never
use an edging blade, circular saw blade, or any other type of
unapproved blade.
3-Tooth Grass/Weed Blades may be used wherever the nylon line head is
used. DO NOT use this blade for heavy weeds or brush.
