This high-specification hedgecutter from Echo is designed for both professional & demanding domestic shaping & trimming applications & features a five-stage rotating rear-handle for comfortable, controlled operation at any angle. It employs a high-powered 21.2cc two-stroke engine which is fitted with a commercial-grade air-filter that works to maintain peak performance levels & guarantees a lengthy engine-life. Echo’s Pro-Fire electronic ignition eliminates starting headaches; while the provision of a ultra safety-enhancing throttle lockout guards against unintentional throttle application. Equipped with a pair of 55cm double-sided, dual-reciprocating blades, the Echo HCR1510 Hedgecutter cuts quickly & cleanly with none of the bruising that so often leads to disease. It weighs just 5kg & features an anti-vibration mount, so large-scale jobs won’t prove overly strenuous; & it benefits from a heavy-duty transmission, which not only ensures long-term dependability, but also optimises power-transfer.
