Echo SRM - 261SB Operator's Manual page 17

Choosing the Correct Blade
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.
Plastic/Nylon Blades may be used where ever the nylon line head
is used. DO NOT use this blade for heavy weeds or brush!
8 Tooth Weed/Grass Blade P/N 69600120331 is designed for grass,
garden debris and thick weeds. DO NOT use this blade for brush or
heavy woody growth, 3/4" in. (19 mm) diameter or larger.
Brush/Clearing Blade P/N 69500120331 is designed for cutting brush
and woody growth up to 3" in. (76 mm) diameter.
Use Shoulder/Waist Harness P/N 99944200200 Use of the Shoulder/
Waist Harness is recommended for ALL Trimmer/Brush Cutter use, not
just Blade operation. The Shoulder/Waist Harness when used in a
trimming operation with nylon line head suspends the trimmer from the
operator's shoulder and reduces operator fatigue.
During blade operation, the same fatigue reduction is achieved. Safety
to the operator is also enhanced by preventing blade contact with the
operator's hands and feet by restricting trimmer movement.
