I had a quick question about a noise I'm hearing on my brand new Echo PAS-225 trimmer. When I let off of the throttle I am hearing a noise that doesn't sound right. It is almost like a rattling sound, but it is hard to describe. I am posting a video of the trimmer. You can hear it as I let off of the throttle. It may be nothing, but I wanted to get this addressed ASAP since it is a brand new unit.

I am unable to attach the video so I included a link to the file in my icloud.

Might be the clutch, Warranty is 5 years.. And lifetime on coil pak.

I went ahead and returned it and ordered a new one. That is a very bad sign on a brand new unit. I am just glad that it started within 30 days and not a couple months after my purchase. Who knows what else could have been wrong with it? I wasn't going to get stuck with a lemon.

The noise may not have even indicated a problem though. I was just being extra careful. I've heard nothing but good things about echo products.

Echo products have been great for me. The 5 Year Warranty is a plus.
