INSTALL METAL SHIELD
If necessary, remove nylon head, plastic shield, and 38 mm upper plate.
1. Loosely attach bracket (A) to shield (B) and attach to bottom of
gear housing (C) with screws and nuts provided.
2. Install nuts and lockwashers on screws where indicated and tighten
all hardware.
WARNING DANGER
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.
INSTALL OPTIONAL BLADE
Metal or Plastic
1. Install upper plate (D) with 20 mm diameter pilot on splined shaft.
Pilot must match blade center hole for proper fit.
2. Place blade (E) over upper plate pilot and install the "lower plate"
(F) and L.H. nut (G). Tri-Cut blade (H) is installed with glide cup (J).
3. Insert locking tool (K) through hole in upper plate and notch in
gear housing (C) to prevent splined shaft from turning, tighten nut
(G) and secure with a split pin (L).
IMPORTANT
Never reuse a cotter pin - install a new cotter pin each time a blade
is installed or replaced.
4. Remove locking tool.

NOTE
The Barrier Bar is used to restrict rearward movement of the unit. For heavy-duty or extended use, U-handles
should be used. See your Echo dealer or Trimmer/Brush Cutter Safety Manual for details regarding U-Handles. If
you have additional questions, contact your Echo Service Dealer, or call Echo directly at 1-800-673-1558.
WARNING DANGER
Blade operation requires use of a harness (not included in kit) P/N C062000070 (USA) or P/N C062000060 (Canada)
to help restrict trimmer movement and maintain control of the unit if the blade snags, stalls or binds. Blade operation
without a harness may result in serious personal injury.
