Hedgerows can be sneaky. You never see them growing, but let your guard down and before you know it they will encroach upon any nearby paths, driveways and entrances with striking enthusiasm. It is necessary, then, to occasionally reassert oneself in any garden blessed with such vigorously growing vegetation, something which having access to a high quality hedgetrimmer makes much easier. A professional quality machine designed to make tending to extensive hedgerows quick and easy, ECHO’s HC-1501 is just the tool for the job.

Equipped with a potent dual-action, double-sided trimmer blade and able to withstand the demands of commercial use, the HCR-1501 is perfect for trimming all hedges, bushes and shrubs. This is because the HCR-1501’s hardened steel blades are laser cut and precision ground, thus ensuring that they always remain sharp enough to cut through even dense vegetation with ease. The effective cutting length of 49cm provides a pleasing balance between efficient and precise cutting, with a professional quality finish guaranteed every time.

Power to the cutting system is provided via an efficient 21.2cc two-stroke petrol engine, with a traditional recoil pull starter included to make it easy to get your machine up and running. For added ease of use, however, the HCR-1501 (lightweight at only 5.1kg) also features a clever rotating rear handle. With five working positions available you can therefore quickly adjust the hedgetrimmer to suit the work at hand, even when trimming in tight corners. A sturdy but comfortable front handle, moreover, ensures exceptional manoeuvrability, while spring-assisted anti-vibration technology works to improve comfort and reduce operator fatigue during prolonged periods of use.

As with all of ECHO’s high quality power tools, the HCR-1501 is also reassuringly durable and built to the highest standards for a longer and more reliable service life. A commercial grade, three-stage air filter, for example, protects the engine to prevent power loss and reduce service requirements, while easily adjustable cutter clearance makes it easy to keep your machine in top condition. To ensure complete peace of mind, moreover, the HCR-1501 is also supplied as standard with either a five year domestic warranty or a two year commercial warranty, further guaranteeing many years of satisfying cutting performance.
