New ECHO Lithium Ion Hedge Trimmer
E
CHO have introduced
a new hedge trimmer,
the DHC-200 to
their 50V Lithium
Ion battery series
which also includes
trimmers and power blowers.
Like all ECHO products this
hedge trimmer has built-in
features which take into
consideration the environment
in which it will be working
and operator productivity.
As a Lithium Ion product, the
hedge trimmer offers clean
battery power whilst providing
performance equal to its
petrol counterparts. It’s also
built to the same professional
standard as ECHO’s petrol
hedge trimmers with their
reputation for being powerful,
tough and durable.
40 Landscape & Urban Design
“The ecological features of
the new DHC-200, as with all
the ECHO Lithium Ion series
products,” say ECHO “offer
contractors and professional
landscapers exceptional
benefits. The low noise makes
them ideally suited to use in
noise-sensitive areas such as
schools and nursing homes.
Low emissions are beneficial
in their use in parks, nature
reserves and organic gardens.”
There are other considerations
such as reduced maintenance
costs due to fewer moving
parts, easy-to-use controls
with no recoil start, no more
fuel filling or cold starting.
The DHC-200 just needs
charging up and it’s ready to
go. It’s lightweight and very
comfortable to use, thanks
to the ergonomic design of
the front handle which helps
manoeuvrability, and it can
be used for long periods
with little fatigue. Gardeners
trimming ornamental hedges
can count on the variable
speed control for precision
cutting and optimized
run-time. The 62cm double-
sided precision cut blades
provide a clean cut with a
long-lasting sharpness for a
beautiful finish. The DHC-
200 uses energy efficient
motor controls to manage
motor speed, power delivery
and battery temperature for
improved cutting performance
and battery life.
The DHC-200 comes with a
2Ah battery and rapid charger
as standard, with an optional
4Ah battery for a longer run
time. The rapid battery charger
ensures the 2Ah battery is
boosted to 80% capacity in
24 minutes and the 4Ah in
48 minutes. It’s also a hedge
trimmer that is clean to use
and store and there’s no need
to store and mix two-stroke
fuel. The two-year professional
use and 5-year domestic
warranty shows that ECHO are
extremely confident in their
machines. This confidence
continues in its 50V battery
range with a two-year
warranty on all 50V lithium
ion batteries.
