Cutting Instructions GENERAL WARNING Read the ECHO “CHAIN SAW SAFETY MANUAL” included with your chain saw for additional cutting and safety instructions. 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.
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.
Don’t cut with the saw overhead or the bar in a vertical position. 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.
Maintenance and Care 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. Allow unit to cool before performing service. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces. Your ECHO unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service.
