Rules foR safe opeRation  
A. Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users  
1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce  
WARNING!  
or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise  
contributes to accidents.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
The Kick Guard ® device is not installed on the guide bar  
whenyoupurchaseyourECHOchainsaw.TheKickGuard  
® 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 ac-  
complished with the Kick Guard® in place.  
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.  
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 in-  
jury.  
7. Only use replacement bars and chains, or the equiva-  
lent, specified by the manufacturer.  
B. Other Safety Precautions  
1. Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious  
injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any com-  
bination of these persons may result from one-handed  
operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed  
use.  
7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain  
when the engine is running.  
8. Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw  
chain is not contacting anything.  
2. Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.  
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.  
3. Use safety footwear; snug-fitting clothing; protective  
gloves; and eye, hearing and head protection devices.  
Keep long hair away from engine and air intake. Retain  
hair with cap or net.  
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.  
4. Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw at  
least 3 m (10 feet) from the fueling point before starting  
the engine.  
11. Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw  
down.  
5. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw  
when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep by-  
standers and animals out of the work area.  
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  
6. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area,  
secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the  
balance.  
falling tree.  
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.

14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel  
mixture.  
18. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropri-  
ate guide bar scabbard.  
15. Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.  
19. Spark 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  
16. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have  
been specifically trained to do so.  
the spark arrestor screen.  
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.)  
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.  
WARNING  
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.  
WARNING  
Check fuel system for leaks due to fuel tank damage, especially if the unit is dropped. If damage or leaks are  
found, do not use unit, otherwise serious personal injury or property damage may occur. Have unit repaired by an  
authorized servicing dealer before using.

fuel anD luBRiCant  
NOTICE: Use of unmixed, improperly mixed, or fuel older than 90 days, (stale fuel), may cause hard starting, poor  
performance, or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Storage  
section of this manual.  
fuel stateMent  
WARNING  
Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO requirements  
are NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may cause performance  
problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited  
to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets,  
carburetors and other engine components.  
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain  
up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood  
alcohol) is NOT approved.  
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O.FD Standards must be  
used. Echo brand premium Power Blend X TM Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine problems due to  
inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O.FD certified oil, such as  
Echo premium Power Blend X TM, will void the two-stroke engine warranty.  
IMPORTANT  
Echo premium Power Blend X TM Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo en-  
gines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.  
Handling Fuel  
WARNING  
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.  
• Use an approved fuel container.  
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.  
• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.  
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.  
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!  
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.  
• DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.  
• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.  
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.  
• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.  
Mixing Instructions  
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required  
amount of gasoline.  
Fuel Mix Chart  
50:1  
2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.  
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.  
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.  
IMPORTANT  
Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions.  
Some states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-  
off containers to reduce fuel spillage.

After use  
IMPORTANT  
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can  
occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage  
container.  
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you  
expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days  
when a fuel stabilizer is added.  
Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact  
your local government for the laws affecting your area.  
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight con-  
tainer. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,  
away from sparks and flames.  
IMPORTANT  
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS  
shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.  
CHAIN LUBRICANT  
Proper lubrication of the chain while in operation reduces fric-  
tion between the chain and the guide bar to a minimum and  
assures a longer service life.  
TANK INDICATION  
• Use bar and chain oil of high quality for this purpose.  
• Do not use used or reclaimed oil to avoid various oiler  
problems.  
• Use ECHO bar and chain oil.  
• When ECHO bar and chain oil is not available:  
Use motor oil, etc.  
• Use bar and chain oil of the following grades:  
SAE NO. 30 ..... in summer  
FUEL TANK  
OIL TANK  
SAE NO. 10 ..... in winter or when cutting resinous trees.  
• When refueling, also refill chain oil.  
opeRation  
WARNING

CuttinG instRuCtions  
GENERAL  
WARNING  
Read the ECHO “CHAIN SAW SAFETY MANUAL” included  
with your chain saw for additional cutting and safety instruc-  
tions. Failure to obey all instructions may result in serious  
or fatal injuries.  
In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a  
one-man job. It is difficult at times to take care for your own  
safety, so don’t assume the responsibility for a helper as  
well. After you have learned the basic techniques of us-  
ing the saw, your best aid will be your own good common  
sense...  
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 re-  
sponses of the saw.  
Start 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.  
Kickback  
(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  
metal parts with light oil.  
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. Avoid it!

fellinG a tRee  
WARNING  
DIRECTION  
OF FALL  
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. You 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.  
45°  
Direction of fall  
Hinge  
2”  
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 op-  
posite 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.

One-third tree  
diameter  
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.  
liMBinG  
Limbing a fallen tree is much the same as bucking. Never  
limb on the tree that you are standing. When limbing, cau-  
tion is the word. Be careful of the tip touching other limbs.  
Always use both hands.  
15

Don’t cut with the saw overhead or the bar in a vertical po-  
sition. If the saw should kick back you may not have good  
enough control to prevent possible injury.  
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.  
Uphill position  
When cutting on a slope or hillside, always stand uphill.  
BuCKinG  
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.  
FINISH CUT  
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.  
To cut the trunk, use the bucking and two-cut sequence  
shown. The first cut should be no deeper than one-third the  
trunk diameter.  
FIRST CUT  
Board or flat stones  
KiCKBaCK  
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.  
Improper thrust cutting.  
The chain saw industry and government agencies have  
attempted to prescribe various safety devices, but the  
best protection is to avoid kickback.  
Comply with the Safety Precautions as listed on page 2  
and 3 of this manual.  
When the bar nose hits another tree, etc.

CARBURETOR ADjUSTMENT  
Engine Break-In  
New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks  
of fuel break-in before carburetor adjustments can be made. Dur-  
ing the 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 1,100 feet  
above sea level (ASL) (96.0 kPa). To maintain proper engine op-  
eration and emission compliance above 1,100 feet ASL the car-  
buretor may need to be adjusted by an authorized ECHO service  
dealer.  
IMPORTANT  
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet ASL,  
the carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the en-  
gine below 1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage  
may 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 must be installed to the  
power head, and properly tensioned.  
WARNING  
When carburetor adjustment is completed, the saw chain  
should not move at idle, otherwise serious personal injury may  
result.

CoRReCt use of Chain BRaKe  
The installation of a chain brake may be mandatory by law or as stipulated by insurance regulations in your area  
of operation. You 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  
CSA Standard Z 62.1 CHAIN SAWS  
Canada:  
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 perfor-  
mance is maintained in compliance with the Standard B175.1-2000.  
Kickback Motion:  
Function:  
When the bar nose hits another tree, etc.  
When the lever is pushed forward, chain brake instantly  
works to stop the chain.  
26  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Release:  
Improper thrust cutting.  
When the lever is fully pulled toward the operator, brake is  
released.  
INSTALLATION  
Echo recommends that the chain brake should be serviced by an authorized Echo servicing dealer.  
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.  
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.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not allow the saw to tip forward in order to  
avoid damage to the chain.  
Do not attempt to operate the engine with the brake en-  
gaged.  
If the chain does not stop, immediately return the saw to your  
authorized Echo dealer for repair.  
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 en-  
gine to a fast idle.

ATTENTION TWO-STROKE ENGINE POWER PRODUCT OWNERS

performance. To help ensure the performance of the unit, it is required to use two-stroke oil which meets the ISO-L-EGD Standard per ISO/CD  
13738 and JASO M345FD Standards. ECHO Power Blend™ Two-Stroke Oil is a premium two-stroke oil specifically formulated to meet ISO-  
L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345FD Standards. The use of two-stroke oils designed for other applications, such as for outboard motors

oil, will void the two-stroke engine limited warranty. ECHO Power Blend™ Two-Stroke Oil meets the ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345FD  
Standard. Emission related parts are covered for 5 years residential use or 2 years commercial use regardless of two-stroke oil used, per  
the statement listed in the EPA or California Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.  
damage caused by use of gasohol, containing methanol (wood alcohol), or gasoline containing less than 89 octane. Only use gasoline which  
contains 89 octane or higher. Gasohol which contains a maximum 10% ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl/tertiary/butyl/ether)  
is also approved. The prescribed mixing ratio of gasoline to oil is listed on the ECHO oil label and covered in your operator’s manual.  
Engine damage caused by use of ether or any starting fluids.  
damage caused by tampering with engine speed governor or emission components, or running engines above specified and recommended  
engine speeds as listed in your operator’s manual.

defects, malfunctions or failures resulting from abuse, misuse, neglect, modifications, alterations, normal wear, improper servicing, or use  
of unauthorized attachments.  
Incorrect storage procedures, stale fuel, including failure to provide or perform required maintenance services as prescribed in the operator's  
manual. Preventative maintenance as outlined in the operators manual is the customer’s responsibility.  
Failures due to improper set-up, pre-delivery service or repair service by anyone other than authorized ECHO servicing dealer during the

with recommended grease or oil change intervals.  
damage caused by loading SHREd 'N' VAC® beyond recommended capacity.  
damage caused by pump or sprayer running dry, pumping or spraying caustic or flammable materials, or lack of or broken strainers.

WWW.ECHO-USA.COM. your receipt of purchase including date, model and serial number must be maintained and presented to an authorized  
ECHO servicing dealer for warranty service. Proof of purchase rests solely with the customer. Some states do not allow limitations on how long  
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or  
consequential damages, so you may also have other specific legal rights which vary from state to state. This limited warranty is given by ECHO  
Incorporated, 400 Oakwood Rd., Lake Zurich, IL 60047.
