The electric chain saw unit is made of a molded dielectric material that reduces the risk of electric shock to the
operator. Broken or cracked housings or guards may not protect you.
Do not operate the unit if housings or guards are damaged. Use only identical ECHO replacement parts when
service is required. Use of non-identical parts may create an electrical hazard resulting in serious injury or death from
electrocution.
Be sure to use the correct size extension cord which is rated to carry
current a specific distance. The electrical rating of the cord must not
be less than the rating of the saw. A longer extension cord will require
a heavier gauge wire. An undersized extension cord will result in a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Read
your Operator’s Manual to find the recommended size of extension
cord. The smaller the cord gauge number is
(AWG - American Wire Gauge), the heavier the wire gauge will be. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
WARNING! Never drape the extension cord over the wood or log being
cut. Keep the extension cord behind you to avoid the possibility of
dangerous electric shock or electrocution. Keep the cord away from the
chain. Work away from the power source allowing the cord to follow
behind you. Do not touch the metal bar or chain if the chain saw blade has
cut into the extension cord.
To avoid motor overheating, remove all debris from the air vents located on the
side of the motor housing. Always disconnect the plug before any servicing is
performed on the unit, and when the unit is not in use. Do not leave a plugged in
unit unattended.
WARNING! Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in the presence
of flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/
or causing damage to unit.
WARNING! When using a gasoline powered generator as a power
source for the chain saw, always read the generator Operator’s Manual
to learn proper grounding techniques. An improperly grounded
generator could cause serious injury from electric shock, or death by
electrocution. Never use a generator indoors. Use only in outdoor
areas with adequate ventilation.
Avoid accidental pullout of plug from extension cord. Tie a loose knot with the
chain saw power cord and the extension cord. The loop in the knot will reduce
the likelihood of plug disconnection.
