RUNNING
• When engine starts, keep idling for a few
minutes.
• Set the brake lever in the unlocked position
before starting to cut.
• Pull throttle trigger gradually and increase
revolution of the engine.
• The chain starts running when the engine
reaches 3,800 r/min approximately.
• Confirm proper acceleration and lubrication of
chain and bar.
• Do not run the engine at high speed
unnecessarily.
• Be sure that saw chain stops moving when
throttle trigger is released.
CHAIN LUBRICATION TEST
Hold the chain just above a dry surface and open
the throttle to half speed for 30 seconds.
A thin line of “thrown” oil should be seen on the dry
surface.
CAUTION
Do not operate with a loose chain.
CHECKING CHAIN TENSION
• Chain tension should be checked frequently
during work and corrected as necessary.
• Tension the chain as tight as possible, but so it
can still be pulled easily along the bar by hand.
NOTE
If engine does not stop, pull choke control knob
out fully to stop engine.
Return the unit to your authorized ECHO dealer
to check and repair stop switch before starting
the engine again.
STOPPING
• Release throttle trigger and move ignition switch
down to “STOP” position.
