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.

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.
Felling cut
2”
First cut
Notch
Second cut
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

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.
