SAFETY
PE-266/S
Personal Condition and Safety Equipment
Users of this product risk injury to themselves and others if the unit is used improperly and/or safety
precautions are not followed. Proper clothing and safety gear must be worn when operating unit.
Physical Condition
Your judgment and physical dexterity may not be good:
• if you are tired or sick,
• if you are taking medication,
• if you have taken alcohol or drugs.
Operate unit only if you are physically and mentally well.
Eye Protection
Eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1, CE, or CSA Z94.3 requirements must be worn whenever you operate
the unit.
Hand Protection
Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your grip on the handles. Gloves also reduce the

SAFETY
The ignition components of this machine generate an electromagnetic field during operation which
may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with
pacemakers should consult with their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating
this machine. In the absence of such information, ECHO does not recommend the use of ECHO
products by anyone who has a pacemaker.
Vibration and Cold
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon,
which affects the fingers of certain individuals, may be brought
about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration
and cold may cause tingling and burning sensations, followed
by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following
precautions are strongly recommended, because the minimum
exposure, which might trigger the ailment, is unknown.
• Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles,
hands, and wrists.
• Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and
also by not smoking.
• Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the unit or other hand-held
power equipment is not required.
• If you experience discomfort, redness, and swelling of the fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling,
consult your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
Repetitive Stress Injuries
It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the
fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders may cause soreness,
swelling, numbness, weakness, and extreme pain in those
areas. Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high
risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme
RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which could
occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital nerve that
runs through the area. Some believe that prolonged exposure to
vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe pain for
months or even years.
To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:
• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended, or twisted position. Instead try to maintain a straight wrist
position. Also, when grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger.
• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.
• Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive movement.
• Do exercise to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.
• Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness, or pain in
the fingers, hands, wrists, or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve
and muscle damage can be prevented.

OPERATION
OPERATION
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects
away from all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts
have come to a complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.
Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires. This unit is equipped with a spark
arrestor to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine. Metal cutters can can create sparks if
the cutter strikes rocks, metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for laws or
regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.
Fuel
Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO
requirements are NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels
may cause performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended
machine operation, including, but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may
also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may
contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing
methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved. ECHO brand Power Fuel™ is 93 octane, ethanol-free fuel
premixed with ECHO Red Armor® engine oil at 50:1 ratio. Use of ECHO Power Fuel™ is recommended to
extend engine life in all air-cooled 2-stroke and 2/4-stroke hybrid engines.
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD Standards
must be used. Echo brand premium Power Blend X™ Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine
problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and
J.A.S.O. FD certified oil, such as Echo premium Power Blend X™, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.
Echo premium Power Blend X™ Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo
engines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.
Handling Fuel
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling, or serious personal
injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.

OPERATION
PE-266/S
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to
equalize.
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.
• DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.
• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is
repaired.
• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.
Mixing Instructions
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required
amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.
Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some
states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers
to reduce fuel spillage.
For more information
scan this QR code.
After use
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur.
Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.
Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames.
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a
fuel stabilizer is added.
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.

OPERATION
Operation Techniques
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause
unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position
unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.
1. Before edging, water the area to soften the ground to make
edging easier.
2. Before edging, check the area and remove all obstacles and
objects that could be thrown.
3. Plan to edge regularly to make it easier to keep a neat edge
and to avoid having to make more than one pass.
Note: Blade depth may have to be adjusted due to differences
in height between the hard surface and the top of the
grass.
Never adjust blade height with engine running, otherwise serious personal injury may result.
4. Loosen adjustment knob and adjust the blade's depth of cut
to produce a fine cut between sidewalk and grass using a
minimum blade depth, usually with about 13 mm (1/2 in.) of
the blade into the ground. Tighten adjustment knob.
5. Before edging, plan your direction of travel so that the unit
will always be positioned on your right side and so that you
walk on a hard surface whenever possible.
6. Hold edger as shown.
Before edging, be sure to read and understand the entire
Operator's Manual to avoid serious injury.
7. When starting to edge, run the engine at full throttle, and
lower the blade gently into the ground, being careful not to
hit the concrete with the blade.
8. Don't force the blade. Move only as quickly as the blade will
allow.
The complete unit, specifically the drive shaft assembly
and muffler exhaust area may become very hot during use.
Avoid contact during and immediately after operation,
otherwise serious personal injury may result.

MAINTENANCE
PE-266/S
Note: Federal EPA regulations require all model year 2012 and later gasoline powered engines produced for
sale in the United States to be equipped with a special low permeation fuel supply hose between the
carburetor and fuel tank. When servicing model year 2012 and later equipment, only fuel supply
hoses certified by EPA can be used to replace the original equipment supply hose. Fines up to
$37,500 may be enforced for using an un-certified replacement part.
Spark Plug
Level 2
REPOWERTM Tune-Up Kit
Parts Required:
Use only NGK BPM-8Y spark plug (BPMR-8Y in Canada)
otherwise severe engine damage may occur.
.65 mm (.026 in.)
1. Remove spark plug and check for fouling, worn and rounded
center electrode.
2. Clean the plug or replace with a new one. DO NOT sand blast to clean. Remaining sand will damage
engine.
3. Adjust spark plug gap by bending outer electrode.
4. Tighten spark plug to 150–170 kgf • cm (130–150 in • lbf).
Cooling System
Level 2
Parts Required: None if you are careful.
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must pass freely through the cylinder fin area.
This flow of air carries combustion heat away from the engine.
Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
• Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching
the cylinder.
• Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This
build up insulates the engine and prevents the heat from
leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cooling
fins is considered “Normal Maintenance.” Any failure attributed
to lack of maintenance is not warranted.

Carburetor Adjustment
Level 2
Engine Break-In
New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel break-in before carburetor
adjustments can be made. During the break-in period your engine performance will increase and exhaust
emissions will stabilize. Idle speed can be adjusted as required.
High Altitude Operation
This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting, emission, and durability
performance up to 1,100 feet above sea level (ASL) (96.0 kPa). To maintain proper engine operation and
emission compliance above 1,100 feet ASL the carburetor may need to be adjusted by an authorized ECHO
service dealer.
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be re-adjusted when
operating the engine below 1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.
