INTRODUCTION
The ECHO model CSG-7410 Engine Cut-off saw is
a high-performance gasoline-powered tool designed for use with a recommended 350 x 4.7 x 20
mm (14 in. x 6/32 in. x 25/32 in.) abrasive wheel. A
water-flush attachment is available for dust control.
Use only ECHO’s wheels or other wheels having
a minimum spindle speed rating of 3820 rpm or
higher.
This manual provides the information necessary for
assembly, operation and maintenance of the cutoff saw as well as the wheels available for it. It is
important that you follow this information carefully.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING
Improper use or care of this unit, or failure to
wear proper protection can result in serious
injury.
Read the rules for safe operation and instructions in this manual.
Wear eye and hearing protection and a dust
mask when operating.
Breathing in asbestos fibers can pose a
serious health risk and may cause severe
or fatal respiratory diseases such as lung
cancer. Do not use your engine cut-off saw to
cut, damage, or disturb asbestos or products
using asbestos in any form. If you believe
you might be cutting asbestos, contact your
employer immediately.

WARNING
CSG-7410
X750 395-410 0
Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing and protective gloves.
Wear eye, hearing and head protection devices. Use ballistics chaps or pants
when necessary. Clothing of fire-resistant and non-meltable material should
be worn by emergency crews exposed to flames or high heat conditions.
Use caution when handling fuel. Put the fuel tank caps back tightly on both
the fuel container and the saw tank, move at least 3 m (10 ft.) from the
fueling point, and be sure there is no leakage of fuel from the fuel tank cap or
the fuel system before starting the engine. Avoid ignition from sparks.
DANGER
After refuelling, tighten fuel cap firmly and check for leakage.
In case of fuel leakage repair before starting operation since there is
a danger of fire.
WARNING
Do not run the engine indoors, or where there is poor ventilation.
Engine fumes contain deadly poisonous carbon monoxide.
IMPORTANT
Check before every use.
After refuelling, make sure fuel does not leak from around fuel pipe, fuel
grommet or fuel tank cap.
In case of fuel leakage there is a danger of fire. Stop using the machine
immediately and request your dealer to inspect or replace.

CSG-7410
Operate this gasoline engine cut-off saw only in well-ventilated areas.
Do not store the unit with fuel in its tank, because a fuel leak could start a
fire.
Do not cause sparks in any area where there are flammable materials.
Start the engine cut-off saw on the ground with the cutting wheel completely
in the clear.
Do not drop-start the engine cut-off saw, or start it if the wheel is obstructed
by the ground or any other object.
Do not allow other persons to be closer than 9 m (30 ft.) when you are
starting or cutting with the saw. Bystanders should wear hearing and eye
protection. Do not start cutting unless you have good footing and the work
area is clear.
Do not let someone hold the work you are cutting.
Adjust the wheel guard to a position where the sparks and debris from the
wheel will be thrown away from you. Turn the wheel guard locking knob
counterclockwise, grasp the wheel guard knob and move the wheel guard to
the desired position, slowly release it and secure the wheel guard with the
locking knob. Do not operate if the wheel guard is damaged, missing from
the unit, improperly positioned, or cannot be locked in proper position.

Keep to Left of
Cutting Line
Keep a firm grip on the engine cut-off 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 saw handles.
A firm grip will help you to keep control if the saw kickback toward you, or the
thrust of the rotating wheel pulls it away from you. Never operate the engine
cut-off saw with only one hand.
Be careful around electrical cables, sewer and gas lines to avoid cutting
them.
Keep to the left of the saw so that no part of your body is in line with the
cutting wheel. Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting wheel when
the engine is running.
Do all cutting at full throttle. Cutting at less than full speed can damage the
clutch by allowing it to slip. Accelerating from slow to full speed while the
wheel is in cutting contact may cause a violent push or pull reaction resulting
in loss of control.
It will take time for the wheel to coast to a stop after the throttle trigger is
released. Be sure to wait for rotation to stop before releasing your grip on the
saw handles. Always shut off the engine before setting down the saw.
Never leave the engine cut-off saw while the engine is running.
Put no Side
Pressure on
the Wheel
Check for Wheel
Damage
Always carry the saw with the engine stopped and the hot muffler away from
your body. Do not touch a hot muffler, wheel, cylinder cover or cylinder.
Do not touch high voltage parts such as spark plug and spark plug lead.
Remove the wheel from the saw prior to transport or storage. Store wheels
properly to avoid damage from uneven pressure, moisture and extreme
temperatures.
Do not grind on the side of an abrasive engine cut-off saw wheel, or put any
side pressure on the wheel during cutting. Avoid letting the saw tilt or wobble
off line.
Use new, properly qualified wheels of correct diameter, thickness and
mounting hole size. The wheel blotters and the mounting flanges should be
in good condition, and the mounting bolt should be tightened to the proper
torque.
Inspect the wheel carefully for cracks, edge damage and warping before use.
Do not use any wheel that has been dropped.
All adjustment and maintenance instructions in this operator’s manual
should be performed as necessary, and may be done by the saw owner. All
other service or adjustment should be performed only by a qualified ECHO
servicing dealer.

OPERATOR SAFETY
Protective Equipment
WARNING
Engine cut-off saw users risk injury if the
saw is used improperly, and / or safety precautions are not followed. Protective clothing
and safety gear must be worn when operating a engine cut-off saw.
Hard Hat
Hearing Protection
Goggles (Z 87)
Dust Mask or Respirator
Trim-Fitting
Protective Clothing
Heavy Duty non-Slip Gloves
Chaps or High Boots
for Spark Protection
You must wear eye protection goggles qualified
to the CE mark or the latest ANSI Standard Z 87.
(Z 87 is stamped on the goggles). These goggles
also must be worn under a face screen if one is
used. A face screen should be worn when there
is a risk from flying debris.
Hearing protection should be worn. (See
“DANGER,” page 23)
Wear a respirator or dust mask (APF10) when
cutting concrete, stone, brick or other materials
where fine dust is produced while cutting. Use
water flush to keep down the dust.
Clothing should be made from fabric containing
natural fibres that resist catching fire and do not
melt. The clothing should cover as much skin
area as possible. Clothing should offer freedom
of movement, but should not be too loose or
baggy. Do not wear ties or jewellery.
Wear heavy duty boots with non-slip soles. The
boots should be high enough for shin protection,
or you should wear chaps for shin protection.
Wear non-slip, heavy duty work gloves to
improve your grip on the saw handles. The
gloves also help to reduce the transmission of
machine vibrations to your hands.
Heavy Duty Boots

Protecting Others
No Bystanders!
Spectators children and fellow workers must be
warned to come no nearer than 9 m (30 feet) while
the saw is in use. Shut off the saw immediately if
some one moves closer to you than 9 m (30 feet).

Physical Condition
Your judgment and / or dexterity may be impaired
if you are ill or have taken alcohol or other
substances known to affect the way you would
function normally. Operate only when sound in
mind and body.
WARNING
Precautions Against Vibration and Cold
It is believed that a condition called
Raynaud’s Phenomenon which affects the
fingers of certain individuals is brought
about by exposure to cold and vibration.
Accordingly, your ECHO Engine cut-off saw
has shock mounts designed to reduce the
intensity of vibration received through the
saw handles. Exposure to cold and vibration
may cause tingling and burning, followed by
loss of colour and numbness, in a person’s
fingers. We strongly recommend your
taking the following precautions because the
minimum exposure which might trigger the
ailment is unknown.
Keep your body warm – especially head,
neck, feet and ankles, and hands and
wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by
performing vigorous arm exercises
during frequent work breaks, and also by
not smoking.
Limit the number of hours of engine cut-
off saw operation. Try to fill a part of each
work day with jobs where operating this
saw or
other hand-held power tools are not
required.
If you experience discomfort, redness and
swelling of the fingers, followed by
whitening and loss of feeling, consult your
physician before exposing yourself further
to cold and vibration.
