ASSEMBLY

SRM/PAS/SB Blade Configuration

If you change the cutting attachment on your SRM, PAS, or SB unit from nylon line head to a blade, you must also install all of the parts required for blade operation.

These parts vary by type of blade being used, and may include replacing the front handle with a U-Handle (See the SRM/PAS/SB Set-Up Guide, Page 17)

DANGER

A trimmer-brushcutter unit equipped with a metal blade can cause serious injuries if handled improperly. ALWAYS use extreme care when carrying or handling the unit to avoid contact with the cutting edges of the blade. Echo recommends using the optional plastic blade cover to protect yourself and others from accidental blade contact.

SRM/PAS/SB Blade Set-Up Guide

Use this configuration table as a guide for setting up your unit with a blade. See the assembly instructions in your Operator’s Manual or Blade Conversion Kit for specific information.
