unless you have been speciﬁcally

trained to do so.

5.Do not allow other persons to be near

when operating the chain saw.

17.All chain saw service, other than

items listed in the Instruction manual

maintenance instructions, should

be performed by competent service

personnel.

6.Do not start cutting until you have a

clear work area, secure footing, and

a planned retreat path from the falling

tree.

(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.)

SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER

• The spark arrestor mufﬂer controls the exhaust

noise and prevents hot, glowing particles of

carbon from leaving the mufﬂer.

Make sure the spark arrestor screen is in good

repair and properly seated in the mufﬂer.

• Certain internal combustion engines operated on

forest, brush, and/or grass-covered areas in the

states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California,

Minnesota, New Jersey and Maine, are required

to be equipped with a spark arrestor.

This requirement also applies to all U.S. Forest

Service lands.

In some of these areas, the spark arrestor system

must be certiﬁed per USDA Forest Service Regula-

tion SAE J335.

Check with your local or state authorities for spe-

ciﬁc regulations in your area.

Failure to follow these requirements is a violation

of the law.

FuEl anD lubricant

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.

NOTICE: Use of unmixed, improperly mixed, or fuel older than 90 days, (stale fuel), may cause hard starting, poor perfor-

mance, 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 ap-

proved.

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^TMUniversal 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^TMUniversal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo engines 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

Fuel Mix Chart 50:1

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.

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 container. 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

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 mini-

mum 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.

• 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.

CUTTING INSTRUCTION

GENERAL

CAUTION

• 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.

• 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!

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 cut-

ting 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 cut-

ting 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

3 m (10 feet)

Retreat

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!

45°

Not this way

Retreat

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.

Direction of fall

Hinge

5 cm (2 in.)

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.

First cut

Felling cut

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.

5 cm (2 in.)

Second cut

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.

One-third tree diameter

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.

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.

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.

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.

Uphill position

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.

Finish cut

First cut

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.

Board or ﬂat stones

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 in this

manual and Safety manual.

CHAIN BRAKE OPERATION

• Set the lever in the unlocked position before

starting to cut.

Kickback motion

• If the brake is tripped by kickback reaction, the

chain will stop immediately. Release the throt-

tle to avoid possible damage to the engine or

clutch.

• Do not attempt to operate the engine with the

brake locked.

TESTING THE BRAKE

• Start the engine on a solid level surface and run

at a fast idle until warm.

Kickback

• Hold the saw ﬁrmly by the handles and acceler-

ate the engine to a fast idle.

• Slowly operate the chain brake lever while hold-

ing the saw ﬁrmly on the ground.

When the brake lever trips, the chain should

stop.

Immediately release the throttle trigger.

WARNING

If the chain does not stop immediately,

return the saw to your authorized ECHO

dealer for repair.

Chain brake function

When the lever is pushed forward, chain brake

instantly stops the chain.

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 revolution while the

chain brake is locked.

• Use the chain brake only in starting or in emer-

gencies.

Chain brake unlock

When the lever is fully pulled, toward the

operator, brake is unlocked.

• When using throttle latch at starting, keep the

chain brake locked.

IMPORTANT

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:

End of the guide bar may be placed at the

height of about 50 cm (20 in.).

1. Stop the engine.

2. Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately

50 cm (20 in.) above a wooden surface. Right

hand should hold the rear handle, and left hand

should hold the front handle.

50 cm

(20 in.)

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.

IMPORTANT

to stop.

Turn “L” speed needle midway between full

clockwise (CW) stop and CCW stop.

5. Idle Speed Adjustment:

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

Engine Break-in

New engines must be operated a minimum dura-

tion of two tanks of fuel break-in before carbure-

tor 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.

• Start engine, turn “Idle” speed adjustment

screw CW until the saw chain begins to turn,

then turn screw out CCW until the saw chain

stops turning.

Turn screw out, CCW, an additional 1/4 turn.

WARNING

Cutting attachment must not move when unit

is idling.

High Altitude Operation

This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain

satisfactory starting, emission, and durability

performance up to 1100 feet above sea level (ASL)

(96.0 kPa). To maintain proper engine operation

and emission compliance above 1100 feet ASL

the carburetor may need to be adjusted by an

authorized ECHO service dealer.

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.

IMPORTANT

If the engine is adjusted for operation above

1100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be

readjusted when operating the engine below

1100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage

may result.

7. Check idle speed and reset if necessary as

described in item 5. If a tachometer is available

idle speed should be set to 2700 RPM.

CAUTION

When starting, idling adjustment speed

should be adjusted not to rotate the saw

chain. Correct idle speed is adjusted 2700

RPM. Or 1/4 turn CCW from the point the

chain stops moving.

When you experience trouble with the

carburetor, contact your dealer.
