RULESFOR SAFE OPERATION
A. Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users
WARNING!
KICKBACK may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning
fast reverse REACTION, Kicking the guide bar up
and back towards the operator . Pinching the saw
chain along the top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury .
The Kick Guard ® device is not installed on the
guide bar when you purchase your ECHO chain
saw. The Kick Guard ® can be used in a majority of
cutting operations, and is especially recommended
for beginners, homeowners, or chain saw novices.
Most cutting operations can be accomplished with
the Kick Guard® in place.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built
into your saw. As a chain saw user , you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury .
1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you
can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
2. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both
hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and
the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm
grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw . Don’t’ let go.
3. Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or
any other obstruction which could be hit while
you are operating the saw.
4. Cut at high engine speeds.
5. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
6. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
7. Only use replacement bars and chains, or the
equivalent, specified by the manufacturer.
B. Other Safety Precautions
1. Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, byst anders, or any combination of these persons may
result from one-handed operation. A chain saw
is intended for two-handed use.
2. Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.
3. Use safety footwear; snug-fitting clothing; protective gloves; and eye, hearing and head protection devices. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair .
4. Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain
saw at least 3 m (10 feet) from the fueling point
before starting the engine.
5. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain
saw when starting or cutting with the chain saw .
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work
area.
6. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from the falling tree.
2
Page 3
7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
14.Keep the handles dry , clean, and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
8. Before you start the engine, make sure that
the saw chain is not contacting anything.
9. Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped,
the guide bar and saw chain to the rear , and
the muffler away from your body .
10.Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw
chain stops moving when the throttle control
trigger is released.
11.Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw
down.
12.Use extreme caution when cutting small size
brush and saplings because slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
13.When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
15.Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated
areas.
16.Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
17.All chain saw service, other than the items listed
in the Instruction Manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chain
saw service personnel. (For example, if improper tools are used to remove the flywheel
or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel could occur and could
subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.)
18.When transporting your chain saw, use the
appropriate guide bar scabbard.
19.S park arrestor mufflers approved to SAE Standard J335b are Standard on ECHO Chain
saws to reduce the possibility of forest fires.
Do not operate the chain saw with a loose or
defective muffler . Do not remove the spark arrestor screen.
WARNING
• During operation, the muffler or catalytic muffler and surrounding cover become hot.
• Never suspend the saw on a lanyard with the engine running.
• Always use the saw from the right-hand side of your body – NEVER from the left side.
• Always wear proper safety clothing to protect your lower body from sharp saw chain and hot
muffler.
• Always keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris during transportation or when storing,
otherwise serious property damage or personal injury may result.
W ARNING
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.
• DO NOT start or operate unit unless all guards and protective covers are properly assembled to unit.
• NEVER reach into any opening while the engine is running. Moving parts may not be visible through openings.
WARNING
Using improper replacement components or removing safety devices may result in serious or fatal injury .

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
WARNING
Read the ECHO “CHAIN SAW SAFETY MANUAL” included
with your chain saw for additional cutting and safety instructions. Failure to obey all instructions may result in serious or
fatal injuries.
In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a oneman job. It is difficult at times to take care for your own safety,
so don’t assume the responsibility for a helper as well. Af ter
you have learned the basic techniques of using the saw, your
best aid will be your own good common sense...
A
D
The accepted way to hold the saw is to stand to the left of the
saw with your left hand on the front handlebar and your right
hand on the rear handle so you can operate the throttle trigger
with your right index finger.
Before attempting to fell a tree, cut some small logs or limbs.
Become thoroughly familiar with the controls and the responses of the saw.
St art the engine, see that it is running properly . Squeeze the
trigger to open the throttle wide open and start the cut. If the
chain is properly sharpened, the cutting should be relatively
effortless. It is not necessary to press down hard to make the
saw cut. Pushing the saw too hard will slow the engine and
cutting will actually be more difficult.
NOTE
Some material may adversely affect the housings of your
ECHO chain saw.
(Example: Palm Tree Acid, fertilizer , etc.) To avoid housing
deterioration, carefully remove all packed saw dust around
clutch and guide bar area and wash with water. Coat met al
parts with light oil.

FELLING A TREE
Kickback
WARNING
Do not let the tip of the bar touch anything while the engine is
running. At cutting speed the chain is moving at a high rate of
speed. Should the tip contact a limb or log while the chain is
moving, the tip will be pushed upward with considerable force.
This is known as kickback. A void it!

WARNING
A falling tree can seriously damage anything it may hit - a
car, a house, a fence, a power line, or another tree. There are
ways to make a tree fall where you want it, so first decide
where that is!
Before cutting, clear the area around the tree. Y ou will need good
footing while working and you should be able to work the saw
without hitting any obstacles. Next, select a path of retreat. When
the tree begins to fall you should retreat away from the direction
of fall at a 45 degree angle and at least 3m from the trunk to avoid
the trunk kicking back over the stump.
Begin the cut on the side to which the tree is to fall. Cut a notch
about 1/3 of the way into the tree as shown. The position of this
notch is important since the tree will try to fall “into” the notch.
The felling cut is made on the side opposite the notch and at a
level about 2” above the bottom of the notch. Do not try to cut
through to the notch with the felling cut. The remaining wood between the notch cut and felling cut (about 2”) will act as a hinge
when the tree falls, guiding it in the desired direction. When the
tree starts to fall, kill the engine, place the saw on the ground and
make your retreat quickly .
To fell big trees with a diameter exceeding twice the bar length,
start the notching cuts from one side and draw the saw through to
the other side of the notch. Start the back cut on one side of the
tree, pivoting the saw through to form the desired hinge on that
side.
Then remove the saw for the second cut. Insert the saw in the first
cut, very carefully so as not to cause kickback. The final cut is
made by drawing the saw forward in the cut to reach the hinge.
15
Page 16
LIMBING
Limbing a fallen tree is much the same as bucking. Never
limb on the tree that you are standing. When limbing, caution is the word. Be careful of the tip touching other limbs.
Always use both hands.
Don’t cut with the saw overhead or the bar in a vertical position. If the saw should kick back you may not have good
enough control to prevent possible injury .
Uphill position
BUCKING
FIRST CUT
FINISH CUT
Board or flat stones
Bucking is the sawing of a log or fallen tree into smaller
pieces. There are a few basic rules which apply to all
bucking operations.
Keep both hands on the handles at all times.
Support logs if possible.
When cutting on a slope or hillside, always stand uphill.
Keep in mind that the wood is heavy and that it will bend
and pinch the saw if improperly supported.
The trunk will weaken at the point where you make the cut
unless the tree is lying on perfectly flat ground or supported
as shown.
If you make the cut with the tree on the ground, don’t let the
saw’s chain dig into the earth; it is harmful for the saw , and
you stand a good chance of being struck by flying debris. T o
cut the trunk, use the bucking and two-cut sequence shown.
The first cut should be no deeper than one-third the trunk
diameter.
16
Page 17
KICKBACK
•Improper thrust cutting.
WARNING
KICKBACK IS DANGEROUS
Kickback is generated when the rotation of the chain is
arrested for some reason. The most dangerous effect of
this action occurs when the nose of the bar contacts
another object, the chain is momentarily stopped and all
the energy of the engine throws the bar upwards and backwards towards the operator.
The chain saw industry and government agencies have
attempted to prescribe various safety devices, but the
best protection is to avoid kickback.
•When the bar nose hits another tree, etc.
Comply with the Safety Precautions as listed on page 2
and 3 of this manual.
MAINTENANCEAND CARE

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 1,000 feet above
mean sea level (MSL). To maintain proper engine operation above
1,000 feet MSL the carburetor must be adjusted by an authorized
ECHO service dealer.
IMPORTANT
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,000 feet MSL, the
carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below
1,000 feet MSL, otherwise severe engine damage can result.
BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS:
•The correct spark plug must be clean and properly gapped.
•The air filter element must be clean and properly installed.
•The muffler spark arrestor screen and exhaust port must be clear
of carbon.
•The standard bar and chain combination (see page 4) must be
installed to the power head, and properly tensioned.
LOW ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
Engines that have been adjusted to operate at high altitudes must be
readjusted to operate properly at altitudes below 2000 feet.
1. Start engine and run for several minutes to reach operating
temperature.
2. Stop engine.
3. Start engine and turn the high-speed needle (A) rich (CCW) until
the engine runs between 13,500 and 14,500 RPM. Then turn the
low-speed needle (B) rich (CCW) until the engine does not
hesitate when accelerated.
DO NOT REMOVE LIMITER CAPS!
4. Idle Speed Adjustment.
• Turn “idle” speed adjustment screw (C) CW until the saw chain
begins to move, then turn the screw CCW until saw chain stops
moving. Turn screw CCW an additional 1/4 turn.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Poor performance of the engine and/or cutting mechanism can normally be prevented by carefully following these
instructions.
Poor performance can easily be corrected even by a beginner.
When the engine does not function properly check the following three (3) points first.
•Is the engine compression adequate?
•Is fuel system in good condition and is enough fuel being supplied?
•Is electrical system in good condition and is spark plug operating normally?
When there is serious trouble with the unit, do not try to repair it yourself but have your distributor or dealer do it for you.
For detailed TROUBLESHOOTING refer to tables 1 and 2. Locate the problem on the following charts and repair as
necessary.
Oil contaminated with dust ............................ Rinse tank and fill with new oil..
Oil viscosity inappropriate ............................. Use oil with correct viscosity for summer or winter.
Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may cause fire and/or explosion. Never test for ignition spark by grounding spark plug near cylinder plug hole, otherwise serious personal injury may result.

CORRECT USEOF CHAIN BRAKE
The installation of a chain brake may be mandatory by law or as stipulated by insurance regulations in your area of
operation. Y ou should inquire through local government offices, your employer or your local dealer to ensure that your
chain saw conforms to the required safety standard. Echo chain brakes have been designed and tested to comply with
international safety standards as follows.
USA:ANSI Standard B175.1-2000 Safety Requirement for chain saws
Canada:CSA S t andard Z 62.1 CHAIN SA WS
WARNING
ANSI Standard B175.1-2000 stipulates that the brake shall stop the chain in 0.15 seconds maximum (.12 sec avg)
at full throttle. It is the responsibility of the Owner/Operator to ensure that the brake is serviced, adjusted and tested
strictly in accordance with the instructions as detailed herein in order to ensure that the brake performance is maintained in compliance with the S tandard B175.1-2000.
Kickback Motion:
•When the bar nose hits another tree, etc.
Function:
•When the lever is pushed forward, chain brake
instantly works to stop the chain.
Release:
•Improper thrust cutting.
•When the lever is fully pulled toward the operator, brake is
released.
26
Page 27
INSTALLATION
•Echo recommends that the chain brake should be
serviced by an authorized Echo servicing dealer.
OPERATION
•Set the lever in the released position before starting to
cut.
•If the brake is tripped by kick back reaction, the chain will
stop. Immediately release the throttle to avoid possible
damage to the engine or clutch.
•Do not attempt to operate the engine with the brake
engaged.
TESTING THE BRAKE
•Start the engine on a solid level surface and run at a fast
idle until warm.
•Hold the saw firmly by the handles and accelerate the
engine to a fast idle.
•Slowly operate the chain brake lever while holding the saw
firmly on the ground. When the brake lever trips, the chain
should stop. Immediately release the throttle trigger.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow the saw to tip forward in order to avoid
damage to the chain.
If the chain does not stop, immediately return the saw to your
authorized Echo dealer for repair.
