CUTTING INSTRUCTION
GENERAL
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 com-
monsense...
The accepted way to hold the saw i$ 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.
Start the engine, see that it is running properly. Squeeze
the trigger to open the throttle wide open and start the cut.
If the chain is properly sharpened, the cutting should be
relatively effortless. It is not necessary to press down hard
to make the saw cut. Pushing the saw too hard will slow
the engine and cutting will actually be more difficult.
Some material may adversely affect the housings of your Echo
chain saw.
(Example palm Tree Acid, fertilizer etc.) To avoid housing
deterioration, carefully remove all packed saw dust around
clutch and guide bar area and wash with water."
Kick back
- 10--
CAUTION
Do not let the tip of the bar touch anything while the engine
is running. At cutting speed the cha|n is moving, at a high
rate of speed. Should the tip con_act 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!
SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL INSERT FOR INSTALLA-
TION AND USE WITH THE KICK GUARD.
CAUTION
Wear suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs
or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfort-
able loud noises.
