OPERATION DPAS-2600

©10/23 ECHO Incorporated
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.
