Locate the safety decal(s) on your unit. Make sure the decal(s) is legible and that you understand and follow
the instructions on it. If a decal cannot be read, a new one can be ordered from your ECHO dealer. See
PARTS ORDERING instructions for specific information.
1. DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY - Contains a specially designed liner and the flexible drive shaft.
2. NYLON CUTTING ATTACHMENT - Contains replaceable nylon trimming line that advances when the
trimmer head is tapped against the ground while the head is turning at normal operating speed.
3. CUT-OFF KNIFE - Automatically trims line to the correct length: 5 in. after head is tapped on the ground.
If trimmer is operated without a cut-off knife the line will become too long, the engine will overheat, and
engine damage may occur.
4. PLASTIC DEBRIS SHIELD ASSEMBLY - Shield assembly includes the Cut-Off Knife. Helps protect the
operator by deflecting debris produced during the trimming operation. This shield must be replaced with
the steel shield for blade use.
