SRM-225 OPERATION
X7732273804 19
© 11/19 ECHO Incorporated
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 brush cutters be equipped with a barrier bar or
restrictive harness. U-Handle ensures a higher safety factor.
Do Not install blades on GT (Curved Shaft) model trimmers.
• Arbor diameter of upper blade plate must match arbor diameter of blades.
• A new cotter pin is required each time a blade is installed.
• Brushcutters over 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs.) dry weight (without fuel) require a
double shoulder harness.
