Limbing

Limbing a fallen tree is much the same as bucking.

Never remove a limb from a tree while it is supporting your weight.

Be careful of the tip touching other limbs.

Always use both hands.

Don't cut with the saw overhead or the bar in a vertical position.

If the saw should kickback, you may not have good enough control to prevent possible injury.

Know how limb is stressed

1. Leave supporting limbs till last.

2. Slide support logs under trunk.

Even when limbing, use of the spiked bumper makes it easy to control the chain saw and

lessens kickback.

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.

No standing on log.

WARNING

Limbing in the proximity of power line can result in electrocution.

Always switch off power supply before starting operation.

CAUTION

Don't saw above chest height.

CAUTION

Stay on the uphill side of logs.

Why does my Echo CS-3000 Chainsaw engine die or accelerate poorly?
- J
  Jeff KramerJul 30, 2025
  The engine of your Echo Chainsaw might be dying or accelerating poorly due to several reasons. A dirty air filter or fuel filter could be the cause; try cleaning or replacing them. Other potential issues include a plugged fuel vent, which requires cleaning, a faulty spark plug that needs cleaning, adjustment, or replacement, or a carburetor that needs adjustment. Additionally, check if the cooling system or exhaust port/silencer are plugged and clean them if necessary.

  If there is no spark at the spark plug of your Echo Chainsaw, it might be due to several reasons. The spark gap might be incorrect and needs adjustment to 0.6 to 0.7 mm. Alternatively, the spark plug could be covered with carbon or fouled with fuel, requiring cleaning or replacement. It's also possible that the spark plug is defective and needs replacement.

  If the silencer of your Echo Chainsaw is wet with fuel, it indicates that the fuel mixture is too rich. Try opening the choke. Another cause may be a dirty air filter, so clean or replace it. If this doesn't solve the problem, you may need to adjust the carburetor or consult your ECHO dealer.
