©11/21 ECHO Incorporated
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired, ill, or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
DPAS-2600SB SAFETY
X7508230800 9
©11/21 ECHO Incorporated
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Proper Clothing
Wear snug-fitting, durable clothing:
• Pants should have long legs, shirts should have long sleeves.
• DO NOT WEAR SHORTS.
• DO NOT WEAR TIES, SCARVES, JEWELRY, or clothing with loose or
hanging items that could become entangled in moving parts or
surrounding growth.
• Keep clothing buttoned or zipped, and keep shirt tails tucked in.
• Wear sturdy work shoes with nonskid rubber soles.
• DO NOT WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES.
• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITH BARE FEET.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
SAFETY DPAS-2600SB
10 X7508230800
©11/21 ECHO Incorporated
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery Tool Use and Care
• Recharge only with ECHO eFORCE™ 56V battery series chargers. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery.
• Use only with ECHO eFORCE™ 56V battery series. Use of any other
battery may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that
can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
• Do not open or destroy the battery. Electrolytes contained within the
battery are corrosive and may cause damage to eyes or skin if released.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries to avoid shorting the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, etc. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause burns if contact with said materials is
made.
• Do not use a battery or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
DPAS-2600SB SAFETY
X7508230800 11

OPERATION
Operation with Blades
Metal blades are very sharp and can cause severe injuries, even
if unit is off and blades are not moving. Avoid contact with
blades. Wear gloves to protect hands.
Blade use demands specific brushcutter configuration.
Operation without specified shield, barrier bar or U-handle, and
harness can result in serious personal injury. Follow installation
instructions.
*ANSI standards require brushcutters 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.
• Use only ECHO approved parts. Failure to use the correct parts can
cause the blade to fly off. Serious injury to the operator and / or
bystanders can occur.

• Arbor diameter of upper blade plate must match arbor diameter of blades.
• For barrier bar or U-handle, follow instructions supplied with either blade
conversion kit or U-handle kit, and verify blade is secured properly.
• A new cotter pin is required each time a blade is installed.
• Shoulder harnesses may be used on all trimmers and brushcutters to
reduce operator fatigue. Brushcutters over 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs.) dry weight
(without fuel) and U-handle brushcutters REQUIRE a double shoulder
harness.
Note: The barrier bar is used to restrict rearward movement
of the unit. The barrier bar is not a handle and should
not be gripped when using or carrying the unit.
Blade Selection
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. Never
use an edging blade, circular saw blade, or any other type of
unapproved blade.
3-Tooth Grass/Weed Blades may be used wherever the nylon line head is
used. DO NOT use this blade for heavy weeds or brush.

©11/21 ECHO Incorporated
Always use extreme care when
carrying or handling the equipment
to avoid contact with the cutting
edges of the blade. Use the optional
blade cover when unit is not in use.
Keep blades in protective packaging
until ready to install. Store blades
safely after removal to prevent injury
from accidental contact.
Use blade protectors to protect
blade teeth during unit
transportation.
Use Shoulder/Waist Harness
Use of the shoulder/waist harness is
recommended for ALL trimmer/
brushcutter 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
reducing the possibility of blade
contact with the operator's hands and feet by restricting trimmer movement.
Make sure the warning sign on the back of the shoulder harness can be
read easily.
Note: In case of emergency, disconnect the trimmer from the
harness.

Applications
Do Not install blades on GT (Curved Shaft) trimmers.
Operating Techniques - Nylon Line Head
Nylon line heads may be used for trimming, scything, edging, and scalping
of grass and light weeds.
Trimming
Feed the spinning line into the material to be cut. Tilt the line head to one
side to direct cutting debris away from you:
• Model SRM/DSRM/PAS/DPAS/SB/TX/C/T (Straight shaft, counter-
clockwise line head rotation) - Tilt the cutting head down on the right side
while cutting to direct cutting debris away from operator. Feed the line
gradually into the material you wish to cut, avoiding contact with fences or
other barriers.
• GT models: Tilt cutting head to the left while cutting to direct debris away
from the operator.
OPERATION DPAS-2600SB
28 X7508230800
©11/21 ECHO Incorporated
Scything
Scything - Swing the cutting head in a level arc, gradually feeding the line
into the material being cut. Move forward with each arc to cut a swath.
Width of cutting swath depends on arc. Use a larger arc for a wider swath,
or a smaller arc for a narrow swath. Keep line head tilted to direct cutting
debris forward or away from you.
Edging and Scalping
Both of these are done with the nylon line cutting head tilted at a steep
angle. Scalping is removing top growth, leaving the earth bare. Edging is
trimming the grass back where it has spread over a pavement or driveway.
During both edging and scalping, hold the unit at a steep angle in a position
where the debris, and any dislodged dirt and stone, will not come back
towards you even if it ricochets off the hard surface.
General
• Debris flows in direction of line head rotation. Change line head position
to assure debris flow is directed away from operator.
• Keep cutting line away from wire fences to avoid entanglement.
• Operate trimmer only with cutting head below knee height.
Operating Techniques - Metal or Plastic Blade
Brushcutter blades may be used to cut and trim a wide variety of materials.
Refer to the blade selection section for determining the correct blade for the
application.
Scything (3, 8, and 80 tooth weed/grass, and brush blades)
• To cut large sections of field grass and weeds swing the cutting head in a
level arc, gradually feeding the blade into the material being cut. Adjust
throttle speed according to your work.
• Do not swing the main pipe with arms. Turn hips to
swing the blade horizontally from right to left, and cut
weeds on the left side of the blade.
• Do not scythe back and forth as the grass may scatter
and kickback may occur easily.
• Tilt blade left by 5 to 10 degrees so that cut grasses will
push left, making progress easier.
• Move forward with each arc to cut a swath.
DPAS-2600SB OPERATION
X7508230800 29
©11/21 ECHO Incorporated
• Width of cutting swath depends on arc. Use a larger arc
for a wider swath, or a smaller arc for a narrow swath.
Suggested cutting width is about 1.5 m (4.9 ft).
• When scything large brush up to 0.5" diameter from
right to left, avoid cutting with highlighted section.
Reaction Forces
◆ The cutting attachment will continue to rotate even after
the throttle is released, maintain control of the unit until it
has come to a complete stop.
◆ Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts
an object that it does not immediately cut. Following
proper cutting techniques will prevent blade thrust.
◆ Blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the unit and/or
operator to be propelled in any direction, and possibly lose
control of the unit.
◆ Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade snags,
stalls or binds.
◆ Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is
difficult to see the material being cut.
Push or Pull - Kickout
During normal use, operating a brushcutter with a circular metal blade can
produce sudden strong reaction forces that are difficult to control. Strong
reaction forces can cause a loss of balance or loss of control of the
equipment, resulting in serious injury to operator and bystanders.
Understanding what causes these reactive forces may help you to avoid
them, and can help you to maintain control of the equipment if you
experience a sudden reaction during cutting. Reactive forces occur when
the force being applied by the cutting teeth of a blade meet resistance, and
some of the cutting force is directed back toward the equipment. The
greater the cutting force or the amount of resistance, the greater the
reactive force.
OPERATION DPAS-2600SB
30 X7508230800
©11/21 ECHO Incorporated
Push and Pull Forces
Push and pull forces are reactive forces that push the
equipment directly toward the operator, or that pull the
equipment directly away from the operator. These forces are
the result of cutting on the sides of the blade. The direction of
the force depends on the side of the blade being used, and
the direction of blade rotation at the point of contact. The
reactive force is in the opposite direction of blade rotation at
the contact point, regardless of where the contact is being
made. These types of reactive forces are also called “Blade
Thrust.”
As shown in the illustration, a blade turning
counterclockwise will cause the equipment to pull away
from the operator if the point of cutting resistance is on the
left side of the blade. If the point of cutting resistance is on
the right side of the blade, the equipment will push back
toward the operator. In both examples, the reactive force is
in the opposite direction of blade rotation at the contact
point where resistance occurs.
Kickout
Kickout is also a reactive force caused by resistance
to cutting, but the direction of blade thrust is lateral (to
the left or right of the blade), instead of forward or
back toward the operator. In most cases, Push, Pull,
and Kickout can be reduced or eliminated by:
• Using the correct blade for the cutting job
• Using properly sharpened blades
• Applying consistent, even force to the blade during
the cut
• Avoiding obstacles and ground hazards
• Using extra care when cutting harder materials
such as extremely dry brush, saplings, and small
trees
• Cutting from a stable, secure position
DPAS-2600SB OPERATION
X7508230800 31

Blade Cutting Problems
Binding - Blades may bind in the cut if dull or
forced. Binding can damage blade, and result in
blade breakage or injury from fragments and
flying debris. If a blade binds in a cut, don’t try to
get it out by applying “up and down” force to pry
the cut open. Applying prying force to the blade
can bend the blade, and result in blade failure
and injury.
To free a blade that is bound in the cut, stop the unit, and support the
trimmer or brushcutter to keep stress off the blade. Push the tree away from
the entry point of the cut to open the cut, and pull the blade directly away
from the cut in a straight-line motion. Use caution when releasing the tree to
avoid being struck by spring-back or falling.
Inspect the blade for damage before proceeding. Sharpen teeth if dull, or
replace blade if cracked, bent, missing teeth, or otherwise damaged.
To prevent binding:
• Keep blades sharp
• Avoid excessive pressure during cuts
• Don’t exceed cutting capacity of blade
• Don’t use blades with damaged or missing cutting teeth
• Don’t rock blades in cut

Sharpening Metal Blades
Metal blades are very sharp and can cause severe injuries, even
if unit is off and blades are not moving. Avoid contact with
blades. Wear gloves to protect hands.
Several styles of metal blades are
approved for use on the
Brushcutter. The 8-tooth blade can
be sharpened during normal
maintenance. The clearing blade
and 80-tooth blade require
professional service.
Before sharpening, CLOSELY
inspect blade for cracks (look at the
bottom of each tooth and the center
mounting hole closely), missing
teeth and bending. If ANY of these
problems are discovered, replace
the blade.
When sharpening a blade, always
remove the same amount of materials from each tooth to maintain balance.
A blade that is not balanced will cause unsafe handling due to vibration and
can result in blade failure.
DPAS-2600SB MAINTENANCE
X7508230800 39
©11/21 ECHO Incorporated
1. File each tooth at a 30° angle a
specific number of times, e.g.,
four strokes per tooth. Work
your way around the blade until
all teeth are sharp.
2. DO NOT file the ‘gullet’ (radius)
of the tooth with the flat file. The
radius must remain. A sharp
corner will lead to a crack and
blade failure.
If an electric grinder is used, use care not to overheat teeth, do not
allow tips/tooth to glow red or turn blue. DO NOT place blade in
cooling water. This will change the temper of the blade and could
result in blade failure.
3. After sharpening teeth, check
each tooth radius for evidence
of a square (sharp) corner. Use
the round (rat tail) file to renew
the radius.
