• 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 or CE 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  
transmission of machine vibration to your hands.

SAFETY  
ES-250  
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.  
Blower housing may contain shredder blades and other sharp edges that can cause serious injuries  
if touched, even if engine is off and blades are not moving. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp  
edges and hot surfaces.  
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 also 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.  
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 TM 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 TM, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.  
Echo premium Power Blend X TM 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  
ES-250  
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.  
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.

ES-250  
OPERATION  
Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face  
filter mask or serious personal injury may result. Do not  
point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.  
Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to  
comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed  
operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston  
and cause rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor  
screen, resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce  
harmful build-up, run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5  
minutes every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen  
after approximately 40 hours of operation.  
Read the Safety Section carefully.  
To avoid engine damage due to over-revving, do not block blower pipe.  
1. Use only during appropriate hours.  
2. Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a few minutes.  
3. Control engine speed with throttle trigger (F), or for continuous use, set engine speed with throttle  
position lever (B). Rotate throttle position lever forward for lower speed, back for higher speed.  
4. Use lower speed to blow debris from hard surfaces.  
5. Additional speed may be necessary to clean debris, snow, etc. from lawns and flowerbeds.  
Note: Never use a higher speed setting than necessary to perform a task. Remember, the higher the engine  
speed, the louder the blower noise. Minimize dust by using blower at lower speeds. Keep debris on  
your property. Be Smart - be a good neighbor.

OPERATION  
ES-250  
Debris bag is flammable and could be ignited if allowed to  
contact hot muffler cover or exhaust. Keep bag away from  
hot surfaces at all times.  
1. Adjust debris bag strap to support bag on operator’s  
shoulder. Bag must not be folded at intake area, or intake  
will clog. Further adjustment may be necessary as the  
debris bag fills and becomes heavier.  
2. Grip throttle control handle with left hand, and lower  
handle/stand with right hand.  
3. Operate unit with beveled end of tube facing downward.  
Keep tube opening close to material being vacuumed for  
best results.  
4. Empty bag when debris level reaches intake opening. To empty bag, move stop switch to “Stop” position,  
and wait for blower to stop running. Loosen Velcro strap at elbow and slide bag off elbow. Open other  
end of bag, and empty contents. Close bag, and reattach to blower. Secure bag with Velcro strap.  
Note: Vacuum action works best at higher engine speeds. Avoid using vacuum in areas where rocks or  
other large, hard debris may be vacuumed into unit. Clear these areas with blower first, blowing light  
debris into a pile. Use attachment to vacuum pile.

3. Remove air filter and lightly brush debris from filter. Replace  
filter if it is damaged, fuel soaked, very dirty, or the rubber  
sealing edges are deformed.  
4. If filter can be reused, be certain it:  
• Fits tightly in he air filter cavity  
• Is installed with the original side out  
5. Install air filter cover.  
Fuel Filter  
Level 1.  
REPOWERTM AIR & FILTER KIT.  
Parts Required:  
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing,  
storing or handling, or serious personal injury may result.  
1. Use a clean rag to remove loose dirt from around fuel cap  
and empty fuel tank.  
2. Use the “fuel line hook” to pull the fuel line and filter from the tank.  
3. Remove the filter from the line and install the new filter.  
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.  
0.65 mm  
(0.026 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.  
Cleaning Grill  
1. Brush accumulated debris from crankcase intake grill  
above the fuel tank.

Carburetor Adjustment  
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.  
Level 2.  
Parts Required: None
