Rules For Safe Operation  
Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users  
For more information  
scan this QR code.  
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.  
Rotational kickback  
The tip guard device is not installed on the guide bar when you  
purchase your ECHO chain saw. The tip 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 tip guard in place.  
Rotational kickback  
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.  
Chain moving downward at impact  
Kickback Danger Zone  
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.  
Linear kickback  
Pinch  
4. Cut at high engine speeds.  
5. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.  
Kickback  
6. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance  
instructions for the saw chain.  
7. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the  
manufacturer or the equivalent.

SAFETY  
Correct Use Of Chain Brake  
CHAIN BRAKE OPERATION  
Locked  
• Set the lever in the unlocked position before starting to cut.  
• If the brake is tripped by kickback 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 locked.  
TESTING THE BRAKE  
Unlocked  
• 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.  
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.  
Note:  
• For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the lever forward to lock the brake.  
• Confirm that the brake works properly before each use.  
• If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, function of the brake may deteriorate. Always keep the  
device clean.  
• Do not increase engine RPM's while the chain brake is locked.  
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 Safety Requirement for chain saws  
ANSI Standard B175.1 stipulates that the brake shall stop the chain 0.12 seconds at an engine speed  
of 13,500 r/min. 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 here in order to ensure  
that the brake performance is maintained in compliance with the Standard B175.1.

SAFETY  
CS-355T  
AUTOMATIC CHAIN BRAKE  
Kickback produced from the tip of the guide bar will trip the  
automatic chain brake. To make sure that the automatic chain  
brake operates properly, follow these steps:  
1. Stop the engine.  
55 cm  
(22 in.)  
2. Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately 55 cm (22  
in.) above a wooden surface. Right hand should hold the  
rear handle, and left hand should hold the front handle.  
3. Release the front handle and drop the end of the guide bar  
against the wooden surface.  
4. The impact should lock the chain brake.  
When checking the operation of the automatic chain brake, use  
a soft surface substance like wood to absorb the impact so the  
chain is not damaged.  
Other Safety Precautions  
1. Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, 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 and protective gloves. Wear eye, hearing, and head protection  
devices.  
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.  
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.  
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.

SAFETY  
14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.  
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 items listed in the Instruction manual maintenance instructions, should  
be performed by competent 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. Spark arrestor mufflers approved to SAE Standard J335 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.  
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.  
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.  
Using improper replacement components or removing safety devices may result in serious or fatal  
injury.  
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.

SAFETY  
The ignition components of this machine generate an electromagnetic field during operation which  
may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons with  
pacemakers should consult with their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating  
this machine. In the absence of such information, ECHO does not recommend the use of ECHO  
products by anyone who has a pacemaker.  
Vibration and Cold  
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon,  
which affects the fingers of certain individuals, may be brought  
about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration  
and cold may cause tingling and burning sensations, followed  
by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following  
precautions are strongly recommended, because the minimum  
exposure, which might trigger the ailment, is unknown.  
• Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles,  
hands, and wrists.  
• Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and  
also by not smoking.  
• Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the unit or other hand-held  
power equipment is not required.  
• If you experience discomfort, redness, and swelling of the fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling,  
consult your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.  
Repetitive Stress Injuries  
It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the  
fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders may cause soreness,  
swelling, numbness, weakness, and extreme pain in those  
areas. Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high  
risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme  
RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which could  
occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital nerve that  
runs through the area. Some believe that prolonged exposure to  
vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe pain for  
months or even years.  
To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:  
• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended, or twisted position. Instead try to maintain a straight wrist  
position. Also, when grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger.  
Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.  
• Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive movement.  
• Do exercise to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.  
• Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness, or pain in  
the fingers, hands, wrists, or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve  
and muscle damage can be prevented.

Handling Fuel  
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.  
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.  
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.

OPERATION  
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.  
Chain Lubricant  
Note: Cap indication - Fuel/oil tanks are indicated by the following illustrations  
Proper lubrication of the chain while in operation reduces  
friction between the chain and the guide bar to a minimum  
and assures a longer service life.  
• 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.  
Fuel tank cap  
Oil tank cap  
• Use bar and chain oil of the following grades:  
• SAE No. 30....in summer  
• SAE No. 10....in winter or when cutting resinous trees.  
• When refueling, also refill chain oil.  
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.  
Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause  
unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit  
so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.  
Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires. This unit is equipped with a spark  
arrestor to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine. Metal cutters can also create sparks if  
the cutter strikes rocks, metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for laws or  
regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.

General  
This chain saw is designed for cutting wood or wood  
products. Do not cut solid metal, sheet metal, plastic or  
any non-wood materials.  
Read the ECHO “CHAIN SAW SAFETY MANUAL”  
included with your chain saw for additional cutting and  
safety instructions.  
Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or  
earplugs to protect against objectionable or  
uncomfortable loud noises.

CS-355T  
OPERATION  
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!  
Kickback  
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 using 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 responses 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.(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.

Felling the Tree  
For more information on  
scan this QR code.  
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!  
3 m (10 feet)  
Direction of fall  
Retreat  
45°  
45°  
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 3 m (10 feet)  
from the trunk to avoid the trunk kicking back over the stump.  
Not this way  
Retreat  
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. 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 5 cm (2 in.) 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 5 cm (2 in.)  
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.  
Direction of fall  
Hinge  
5 cm (2 in.)  
First cut  
Felling cut  
Notch  
Second cut  
5 cm (2 in.)  
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 stand on the tree that you are limbing. When limbing,  
caution is the word. Be careful of the tip touching other limbs.  
Always use both hands.

CS-355T  
OPERATION  
Don’t cut with the saw overhead or aligned vertically with your  
body. If the saw should kickback, you may not have enough  
control to prevent possible injury.  
Bucking  
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.  
Uphill position  
• 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.  
Finish cut  
First cut  
Support  
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.  
When the bar nose hits another tree, etc.

Carburetor Adjustment  
Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in  
compliance with Emission Regulations. In addition, the  
carburetor is equipped with “H” (High Speed) and “L” (Low  
Speed) needle adjustment limiters that prevent settings  
outside acceptable limits.

H
Engine Break-In  
New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two  
tanks of fuel break-in before carburetor adjustments can be  
made. During 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 operation and  
emission compliance above 1,100 feet ASL the carburetor may need to be adjusted by an authorized ECHO  
service dealer.  
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be re-adjusted when  
operating the engine below 1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.  
1. Before adjusting carburetor clean or replace air filter and muffler “Spark Arrestor Screen”.  
2. Make sure the bar and chain are properly adjusted.  
3. Start engine and run several minutes to bring to operating temperature. Flash choke twice during  
warm-up to clear any air from the fuel system.  
4. Stop engine. Turn “H” speed needle counterclockwise (CCW) to stop. Turn “L” speed needle midway  
between full clockwise (CW) stop and CCW stop.  
5. Idle Speed Adjustment:  
• Start engine, turn “Idle” speed adjustment screw “T” CW until the saw chain begins to move, then turn  
screw out CCW until the saw chain stops moving. Turn screw out, CCW, an additional 1/4 turn.  
When carburetor adjustment is completed, the saw chain should not move at idle, otherwise  
serious personal injury may result.  
6. Accelerate to full throttle for 2 - 3 seconds to clear any excess fuel in the engine, then return to idle.  
Accelerate engine to full throttle to check for smooth transition from idle to high speed. If engine hesitates  
turn “L” needle CCW 1/8 turn and repeat acceleration. Continue adjustment until smooth acceleration  
results.  
7. Check idle speed and reset if necessary as described in item 5. If a tachometer is available idle speed  
should be set to value listed on technical data page.  
When starting, idling adjustment speed should be adjusted to prevent the saw chain from moving.  
When you experience trouble with the carburetor, contact your dealer.
