Chain Lubrication Test
Hold the chain just above a dry surface and open the throttle to

A thin line of “thrown” oil should be seen on the dry surface.
Cutting Instructions
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.
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.
