ECHO BLADES

There are three types of ECHO Blades: knife, brush and clearing blades. The ECHO products catalog lists the blade sizes available. These blades must be in sharp condition for both safety and good results. Have dull blades sharpened professionally or have them replaced.

Follow the instructions on page 23 for cutting with a brush blade.

WARNING DANGER

Never cut brush with a dull blade. Dullness increases the chance the blade may kick out of a cut.

If a sapling or shrub binds the blade, do not use the blade as a lever to free the bind, because this will cause blade failure. Instead, shut off the engine and push the sapling or shrub to free the blade. Do not use a cracked or damaged blade.
