Handling the Product
General Safety Warnings and Instructions
This section contains the prescribed general safety warnings and
instructions for battery-powered products contained in UL 2595 and for
handheld tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery
contained in UL 62841-1. Additional important warnings and instructions are
provided in subsequent sections of this manual.
Important Safety Instructions
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire,
serious injury and/or property damage.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
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.
background
DPAS-2600 SAFETY
X7508230802 9
©10/23 ECHO Incorporated
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.
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.

SAFETY DPAS-2600
10 X7508230802
©10/23 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.
Wear sturdy, no-slip, rubber work gloves to improve your grip on the
handles. Gloves also provide protection against cuts and scratches, cold
environments, and reduce the transmission of machine vibration to your
hands.
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.

DPAS-2600 SAFETY
X7508230802 11
©10/23 ECHO Incorporated
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.
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.

instructions for handheld, motor-operated electric hedge trimmers contained
in UL 62841-4-2. Additional important warnings and instructions are
provided in subsequent sections of this manual.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings:
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Blades
continue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade stopped and
taking care not to operate any power switch. Proper carrying of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and
resultant personal injury from the blades.
3. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit the
blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the
risk of personal injury from the blades.
4. When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure
all power switches are off and the power cord is disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
5. Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
hedge trimmer "live" and could give the operator an electric shock

6. Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area. Power
cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
7. Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk
of being struck by lightning.
Extended-Reach Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings:
1. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the extended-reach
hedge trimmer near any electrical power lines. Contact with or use
near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in
death.
2. Always use two hands when operating the extended reach hedge
trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge trimmer with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
3. Always use head protection when operating the extended-reach
hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal
injury.

3. Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and
remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects.
Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
4. Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see that the
cutter or blade and the cutter or blade assembly are not damaged.
Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
5. Before use, check the supply cord and any extension cord for
signs of damage or aging. Do not use the machine if the cord is
damaged or worn. If the cord is damaged or worn during use,
switch off the machine and do not touch the cord before
disconnecting it from the supply. A damaged supply cord or
extension cord may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
6. Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improperly tightened
blade securing nuts or bolts may either damage the blade or result in it
becoming detached.
7. The rated rotational speed of the blade must be at least equal to
the maximum rotational speed marked on the machine. Blades
running faster than their rated rotational speed can break and fly apart.
8. Wear eye, ear, head, and hand protection. Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the cutting line or blade.
9. While operating the machine, always wear non-slip and protective
footwear. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from
contact with the moving cutters or lines.
10. While operating the machine, always wear safety footwear. Do not
operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This
reduces the chance of injury to the feet from contact with a moving
cutter, line, or blade.
11. While operating the machine, always wear long trousers. Exposed
skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
12. Keep bystanders away while operating the machine. Thrown debris
can result in serious personal injury.
13. Always use two hands when operating the machine. Holding the
machine with both hands will avoid loss of control.
14. Hold the machine by insulated gripping surfaces only, because
the cutting line or blade may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting line or blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the machine "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
15. Always keep proper footing and operate the machine only when
standing on the ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a
loss of balance or control of the machine.

16. Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result
in personal injury.
17. When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing, always
work across the face of slopes, never up or down and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
18. Keep the supply cord away from the cutter, line or blade. A
damaged supply cord may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
19. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or blade when
the machine is operating. Before you start the machine, make sure
the cutter, line or blade is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating the machine may result in injury to yourself
or others.
20. Do not operate the machine above waist height. This helps prevent
unintended cutter or blade contact and enables better control of the
machine in unexpected situations.
21. When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension, be alert for
spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers is released, the
brush or sapling may strike the operator and/or throw the machine out
of control.
22. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender
material may catch the blade and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
23. Maintain control of the machine and do not touch cutters, lines or
blades and other hazardous moving parts while they are still in
motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
24. When clearing jammed material or servicing the machine, make
sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed. Unexpected
starting of the machine while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
25. Carry the machine with the machine switched off and away from
your body. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with a moving cutter, line, or blade.
26. When transporting or storing the machine, always fit the cover on
metal blades. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the blade.
27. Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and blades
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts may
increase the risk of breakage and injury.

Blade Thrust Safety Warnings:
1. Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or backward motion of the
machine, which may occur when the blade jams or catches on an
object such as a sapling or a tree stump. It can be violent enough to
cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and
possibly lose control of the machine.
2. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the machine and position
your arms to resist blade thrust. Position your body to the left side
of the machine. Blade thrust can increase the risk of injury due to the
machine moving unexpectedly. Blade thrust can be controlled by the
operator if proper precautions are taken.
3. If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch the machine off and hold the machine motionless in the
material until the blade comes to a complete stop. While the blade
is binding, never attempt to remove the machine from the material
or pull the machine backward while the blade is in motion,
otherwise blade thrust may occur. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
4. Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or damaged blades
increase the risk of jamming or catching on an object resulting in blade
thrust
5. Always maintain good visibility of the material being cut. Blade
thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the
material being cut.
6. If you are approached by another person while operating the
machine, switch the machine off. There is an increased risk of injury
to other persons being struck by the moving blade in the event of blade
thrust.
This section contains additional warnings and
instructions contained in UL 62841-4-2 and 62841-4-
4.
For grass trimmers, brush cutters, and brush saws,
according to the type of supplied cutting accessory:
ALWAYS remove battery or unplug unit before adjusting
guards or handles.
ALWAYS stop machine, remove battery and inspect if unit
strikes a hard object, or if excessive vibration is felt.

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:
Not all blades are compatible with all trimmers. Visit www.echo-
usa.com or www.shindaiwa-usa.com to find compatible blades
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.

©10/23 ECHO Incorporated
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.
Units with Speed Feed
®
line heads ONLY: To advance trimmer line,
tap trimmer head against the ground while the head is turning at
normal operating speed.
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.
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.
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 12.7 mm (0.5 in.)
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.

DPAS-2600 OPERATION

©10/23 ECHO Incorporated
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.
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.”
background
OPERATION DPAS-2600
42 X7508230802
©10/23 ECHO Incorporated
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
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.

DPAS-2600 MAINTENANCE
X7508230802 43
©10/23 ECHO Incorporated
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
MAINTENANCE
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
Always stop unit and make sure all moving parts have come to
a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris,
or servicing unit. Allow unit to cool before performing service.
Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot
surfaces.
Operating a poorly maintained unit can result in serious injuries
to operator or bystanders. Always follow all maintenance
instructions as written, otherwise serious personal injury can
result.
Your unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble-free service. Regular
scheduled maintenance will help your unit achieve that goal. If you are
unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, we recommend that
you take your unit to a Servicing Dealer for maintenance. To help you
decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the Dealer do it,
each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed, see your
Dealer for repairs.
Skill Levels
Level 1 = Easy to do. Common tools may be required.
Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.

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.

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.
