PE-280 specifications

The Echo PE-280 is a powerful, versatile string trimmer designed for both professionals and serious gardeners who demand reliability and performance. Known for its durability and innovative features, the PE-280 has become a favored choice in the market for landscaping and outdoor maintenance.

At the heart of the Echo PE-280 is its robust engine, a 28.1 cc 2-stroke that delivers impressive power and efficiency.

The engine is designed for easy starting, which is a critical feature for professionals who need to get to work quickly without fussing over complicated starting procedures.

One of the standout characteristics of the PE-280 is its ergonomic design.

This convenience is highly appreciated in commercial settings where time is of the essence.

Additionally, the Echo PE-280 is designed with user-friendly features such as an automatic rewind feature that helps to reduce downtime. The dual-line bump feed system ensures that users can quickly advance the cutting line simply by bumping the head on the ground, which is essential for maintaining efficiency.

Overall, the Echo PE-280 is engineered to deliver outstanding performance and user convenience. It combines powerful engine technology with ergonomic design and adaptive features, making it an excellent choice for both residential users and landscaping professionals.
