◆Eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 or CE requirements
must be worn whenever you operate the unit.
◆For additional safety, a full-face shield may be worn over
safety glasses or goggles to provide protection from sharp
branches or flying debris.
Hand Protection
Wear sturdy, no-slip, rubber work gloves to improve your grip on the

Keep long hair away from engine and air intake. Retain hair with cap or net.
Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatigue, which may lead to
heat stroke. Schedule heavy work for early morning or late afternoon hours
when temperatures are cooler.
The 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 this machine by anyone who has a
pacemaker.
Extended Operation / Extreme Conditions
Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration may result in
injury. Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to
minimize risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions may result
in painful wrist/hand/arm injuries.
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.

SAFETY PE-2620/S
10 X7502350201
© 06/2018 ECHO Inc.
• 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 (RSI)
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.

PE-2620/S SAFETY
X7502350201 11
© 06/2018 ECHO Inc.
• Do exercises 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.
All over head electrical conductors and communications wires
can have electricity flow with high voltages. This unit is not
insulated against electrical current. Never touch wires directly
or indirectly, otherwise serious injury or death may result.
Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately
ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions
and can cause serious injury or death.
Read Manuals
• Provide all users of this equipment with literature for instructions on Safe
Operation.
Clear the Work Area
• Always clear the work area of foreign objects, and check for any hidden
hazards. Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children
and animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 m (50 ft.) while the
unit is in use.
Keep a Firm Grip
• Always hold throttle handle and support handle with thumbs and fingers
tightly encircling the handles.
Keep a Solid Stance
• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery,
uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on ladders.
Do not over reach.
Avoid Hot Surfaces
• Keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris. Avoid
contact during and immediately after operation.

PE-2620/S OPERATION
X7502350201 17
© 06/2018 ECHO Inc.
Fuel
Diesel fuels and 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 diesel or 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. Diesel or 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 Red Armor Fuel™(Power Fuel™) is
93 octane, ethanol-free fuel premixed with ECHO Red Armor®engine oil at
50:1 ratio. Use of ECHO Red Armor Fuel™(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 2-stroke oils
meet 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.
M345-FD certified oil, such as Echo brand 2-stroke oils, will void the two-
stroke engine warranty.
ECHO brand 2-stroke oils 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.

OPERATION PE-2620/S
18 X7502350201
© 06/2018 ECHO Inc.
◆DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.
◆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 3 m (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.
• Empty the fuel tank prior to storing the unit. 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.
