[title|Echo Hedge Trimmer HCA-266 (2015)] [summary]Device repair and information about the Echo hedge trimmer with model number HCA-266, released in 2015.[/summary] [summary_image|1860211] [document|28408|Echo Service Tool Catalog 2022|display=list] == Background and Identification == This gas-powered hedge trimmer is manufactured by Echo, a company that produces power tools for garden maintenance. This tool is made of a chainsaw blade at the end of a long shaft, powered by a gasoline engine. The Echo Hedge Trimmer is intended for trimming and clearing use on high or other hard-to-reach hedges. Pole-based tools like this one are seen as the safer way to prune an area, because many branches and hedgetops can be reached from the ground as long as you have a long enough pole. This means that the user doesn’t need to climb and balance on a ladder while trimming. This hedge trimmer has a two stroke engine and a double reciprocating blade that can be adjusted in 15 degree increments to rotate a full 180 degrees. This means that the operator can set an angle for the blade and cut the hedge into a specific shape. This makes it an ideal tool for aesthetic garden work or for only trimming very specific parts of the hedge. This tool doesn't appear on the [link|https://www.echo-usa.com/Products/Hedge-Trimmers|Echo USA website], but it can be purchased from third party retailers. == Technical Specifications == * Model Number: HCA-266 * Serial Range: T47314001001 - T47314999999 * Length: 2365 mm (93.1 in.) * Width: 250 mm (9.85 in.) * Height: 250 mm (9.85 in.) * Weight (dry): 7.12 kg (15.7 lb.) * Engine Type: Air cooled, two-stroke, single cylinder gasoline engine * Displacement: 25.4 cc (1.55 cu. in.) * Exhaust: Spark arrestor muffler or spark arrestor muffler with catalyst * Carburetor: Diaphragm w/purge pump * Ignition System: Flywheel magneto, capacitor discharge ignition type * Fuel Tank Capacity: 0.5 lit.
