  If your Efco chainsaw won't start or dies shortly after starting, ensure the switch is in the 'I' position. The issue might be due to: * No spark. Check the spark plug for a spark. If there's no spark, try again with a new spark plug (CMR7A). * The engine is flooded. Follow the procedure on page 20. If the engine still won't start, repeat the procedure with a new spark plug.

Why are the bar and chain on my Efco Chainsaw getting hot and smoking?

  The bar and chain may be getting hot and smoking because the chain oil tank is empty, the chain tension is too tight, or there is a malfunction in the lubrication system. To resolve this: * Refill the chain oil tank whenever you refill the fuel tank. * Check the chain tension. * Run the chainsaw at full throttle for 15-30 seconds, then stop and check if oil is dripping from the bar tip. If there is no oil, contact an Authorized Service Center.
