RULES FOR SAFE OPERATIONA. Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users
1.With a basic understanding ofkickback, you can reduce or eliminatethe element of surprise.Sudden surprise contributes toaccidents.
2.Keep a good firm grip on the saw withboth hands, the right hand on the rearhandle, and the left hand on the fronthandle, when the engine is running.Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingersencircling the chain saw handles.A firm grip will help you reducekickback and maintain control of thesaw.Don’t let go.
3.Make sure that the area in which youare cutting is free from obstructions.Do not let the nose of the guide barcontact a log, branch, or any otherobstruction which could be hit whileyou are operating the saw.
4.Cut at high engine speeds.
5.Do not overreach or cut aboveshoulder height.
6.Follow manufacturer’s sharpening andmaintenance instructions for the sawchain.
7.Only use replacement bars and chainsspecified by the manufacturer or theequivalent.
WARNING!
KICKBACK may occur when the nose ortip of the guide bar touches an object, orwhen the wood closes in and pinches thesaw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause alightning fast reverse REACTION, Kickingthe guide bar up and back towards theoperator.Pinching the saw chain along the top ofthe guide bar may push the guide barrapidly back towards the operator.Either of these reactions may cause you tolose control of the saw which could resultin serious personal injury.
The Kick Guard® device is not installed onthe guide bar when you purchase yourECHO chain saw.The Kick Guard® can be used in a majorityof cutting operations, and is especiallyrecommended for beginners,homeowners, or chain saw novices.Most cutting operations can beaccomplished with the Kick Guard® inplace.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safetydevices built into your saw.As a chain saw user, you should takeseveral steps to keep your cutting jobsfree from accident or injury.
2CS-670
1. Do not operate a chain saw with onehand! Serious injury to the operator,helpers, bystanders, or anycombination of these persons mayresult from one-handed operation.A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
2.Do not operate a chain saw when youare fatigued.
3.Use safety footwear, snug-fittingclothing and protective gloves.Wear eye, hearing, and headprotection devices.
4.Use caution when handling fuel.Move the chain saw at least 3 m(10 feet) from the fueling point beforestarting the engine.
5.Do not allow other persons to be nearthe chain saw when starting or cuttingwith the chain saw.Keep bystanders and animals out ofthe work area.
6.Do not start cutting until you have aclear work area, secure footing, and aplanned retreat path from the fallingtree.
7.Keep all parts of your body away fromthe saw chain when the engine isrunning.
8.Before you start the engine, make surethat the saw chain is not contactinganything.
9.Carry the chain saw with the enginestopped, the guide bar and saw chainto the rear, and the muffler away fromyour body.
10.Do not operate a chain saw that isdamaged, improperly adjusted, or notcompletely and securely assembled.Be sure that the saw chain stopsmoving when the throttle control triggeris released.
11.Shut off the engine before setting thechain saw down.
12.Use extreme caution when cuttingsmall size brush and saplings becauseslender material may catch the sawchain and be whipped toward you orpull you off balance.
13.When cutting a limb that is undertension, be alert for spring-back so thatyou will not be struck when the tensionin the wood fibers is released.
14.Keep the handles dry, clean, and freeof oil or fuel mixture.
15.Operate the chain saw only in wellventilated areas.
16.Do not operate a chain saw in a treeunless you have been specificallytrained to do so.
17.All chain saw service, other than itemslisted in the Instruction manualmaintenance instructions, should beperformed by competent servicepersonnel.(For example, if improper tools areused to remove the flywheel or if animproper tool is used to hold theflywheel in order to remove the clutch,structural damage to the flywheel couldoccur and could subsequently causethe flywheel to burst.)

VIBRATION AND COLD• It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s
Phenomenon, which affects the fingers of certainindividuals, may be brought about by exposure tovibration and cold.Exposure to vibration and cold may causetingling and burning followed by loss of color andnumbness in the fingers.The following precautions are stronglyrecommended because the minimum exposurewhich might trigger the ailment is unknown.
• Keep your body warm, especially the head andneck, feet and ankles and hands and wrists.
• Maintain good blood circulation by performingvigorous arm exercises during frequent workbreaks and also by not smoking.
• Limit the number of hours of operation.Try to fill each day with jobs where operating thechain saw, or other hand-held power equipmentis not required.
• If you experience discomfort redness andswelling of the fingers, followed by whitening andloss of feeling, consult your physician beforefurther exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
REPETITIVE STRESS INJURY• It is believed that over-using the muscles and
tendons of the finger, hands, arms and shouldersmay cause soreness, swelling, numbness,weakness and extreme pain to the areas justmentioned.Certain repetitive hand activities may put you ata high risk for developing a repetitive stressinjury (RSI).
• An extreme RSI condition is Carpal TunnelSyndrome (CTS) which could occur when yourwrist swells and squeezes a vital nerve that runsthrough the area. Some believe that prolongedexposure to vibration may contribute to CTS.CTS can cause severe pain for months or evenyears.
To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or
twisted position.• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and
rest your hands.• Reduce the speed and force in which you do the
repetitive movement.• Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm
muscles.• See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or
pain in your fingers, hands, wrists or arms.The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the morelikely permanent nerve and muscle damage canbe prevented.
EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION• Wear eye protection goggles that meet ANSI
Z 87.1 requirements.Goggles meeting the requirements have themark “Z 87” stamped on them.
• Wear hearing protection.If this guideline is not followed, hearing loss canoccur.ECHO recommends wearing hearing protectionat all times.
WEAR PROPER CLOTHING• Snug fitting durable clothing should be worn.
Pants should have long legs, DO NOT WEARSHORTS.Do not wear loose fitting clothing, scarves,neckties, jewelry or any item that may becometangled in surrounding growth or the chain sawitself.
• Wear shoes with non-skid soles.DO NOT wear open toed shoes or operate unitbarefooted.
• Wear no-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improveyour grip on the chain saw handles.The gloves also help reduce the transmission ofmachine vibration to your hands.
HOT HUMID WEATHER• Heavy protective clothing can increase
operator fatigue which may lead to heatstroke.Schedule heavy work for early morning, or lateafternoon hours when temperatures are cooler.
AVOID HOT SURFACES• During operation, the muffler or catalytic muffler
and surrounding cover become hot.• Never suspend the saw on a lanyard with the
engine running.• Always use the saw from the right-hand side of
your body - NEVER from the left side.• Always wear proper safety clothing to protect
your lower body from sharp saw chain and hotmuffler.
• Always keep exhaust area clear of flammabledebris during transportation or when storing,otherwise serious property damage or personalinjury may result.
OPERATOR SAFETY
9 CS-670
SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER• The spark arrestor muffler controls the exhaust
noise and prevents hot, glowing particles ofcarbon from leaving the muffler.Make sure the spark arrestor screen is in goodrepair and properly seated in the muffler.
• Certain internal combustion engines operated onforest, brush, and/or grass-covered areas in thestates of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California,Minnesota, New Jersey and Maine, are requiredto be equipped with a spark arrestor.

during work and corrected as necessary.
• Tension the chain as tight as possible, but so itcan still be pulled easily along the bar by hand.
CAUTIONDo not operate with a loose chain.
CHAIN LUBRICATION TESTHold the chain just above a dry surface and openthe throttle to half speed for 30 seconds.
A thin line of “thrown” oil should be seen on the drysurface.

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONGENERAL
CAUTION• Read the ECHO “CHAIN SAW SAFETY
MANUAL” included with your chain saw foradditional cutting and safety instructions.
• Wear suitable hearing protection such asearmuffs or earplugs to protect againstobjectionable or uncomfortable loud noises.
• Do not let the tip of the bar touch anythingwhile the engine is running.At cutting speed the chain is moving at ahigh rate of speed.Should the tip contact a limb or log whilethe chain is moving, the tip will be pushedupward with considerable force.This is known as kickback. Avoid it!
In all circumstances the operation of the chain sawis a one-man job.It is difficult at times to take care for your ownsafety, so don’t assume the responsibility for ahelper as well.After you have learned the basic techniques ofusing the saw, your best aid will be your own goodcommon sense.The accepted way to hold the saw is to stand to theleft of the saw with your left hand on the fronthandlebar and your right hand on the rear handleso you can operate the throttle trigger with yourright index finger.Before attempting to fell a tree, cut some small logsor limbs.Become thoroughly familiar with the controls andthe responses of the saw.
Start the engine, see that it is running properly.Squeeze the trigger to open the throttle wide openand 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 thesaw cut.Pushing the saw too hard will slow the engine andcutting will actually be more difficult.
Some material may adversely affect the housingsof your chain saw.(Example palm Tree Acid, fertilizer etc.)To avoid housing deterioration, carefully remove allpacked sawdust around clutch and guide bar areaand wash with water. Coat metal parts with light oil.
Kickback
18CS-670
FELLING THE TREEA falling tree can seriously damage anything it mayhit - a car, a house, a fence, a power-line, oranother tree.There are ways to make a tree fall where you wantit, so first decide where that is!Before cutting, clear the area around the tree.You will need good footing while working and youshould be able to work the saw without hitting anyobstacles.Next, select a path of retreat.When the tree begins to fall you should retreataway from the direction of fall at a 45-degree angleand at least 3 m (10 feet) from the trunk to avoidthe trunk kicking back over the stump.
Begin the cut on the side to which the tree is to fall.Cut a notch about 1/3 of the way into the tree. Theposition of this notch is important since the tree willtry to fall “into” the notch.The felling cut is made on the side opposite thenotch and at a level about 5 cm (2 in.) above thebottom of the notch.Do not try to cut through to the notch with the fellingcut.The remaining wood between the notch cut andfelling cut about 5 cm (2 in.) will act as a hingewhen the tree falls, guiding it in the desireddirection.When the tree starts to fall, kill the engine, placethe saw on the ground and make your retreatquickly.
To fell big trees with a diameter exceeding twice thebar length, start the notching cuts from one sideand draw the saw through to the other side of thenotch.Start the back cut on one side of the tree, pivotingthe saw through to form the desired hinge on thatside.Then remove the saw for the second cut. Insert thesaw in the first cut, very carefully so as not tocause kickback.The final cut is made by drawing the saw forward inthe cut to reach the hinge.

LIMBINGLimbing a fallen tree is much the same as bucking.
Never stand on the tree that you are limbing.
When limbing, caution is the word.Be careful of the tip touching other limbs.Always use both hands.
Don’t cut with the saw overhead or alignedvertically with your body. If the saw shouldkickback, you may not have enough control toprevent possible injury.
BUCKINGBucking is the sawing of a log or fallen tree intosmaller pieces.There are a few basic rules which apply to allbucking operations.Keep both hands on the handles at all times.Support logs if possible.When cutting on a slope or hillside, always standuphill.
Keep in mind that the wood is heavy and that it willbend and pinch the saw if improperly supported.The trunk will weaken at the point where you makethe cut unless the tree is lying on perfectly flatground or supported as shown.If you make the cut with the tree on the ground,don’t let the saw’s chain dig into the earth; it isharmful for the saw, and you stand a good chanceof being struck by flying debris.To cut the trunk, use the bucking and two-cutsequence shown.The first cut should be no deeper than one-third thetrunk diameter.
DANGER• Kickback is generated when the rotation of
the chain is arrested for some reason.The most dangerous effect of this actionoccurs when the nose of the bar contactsanother object, the chain is momentarilystopped and all the energy of the enginethrows the bar upwards and backwardstowards the operator.
• The chain saw industry and governmentagencies have attempted to prescribevarious safety devices, but the bestprotection is to avoid kickback.
• Comply with the safety precautions aslisted in this manual and Safety Manual.

starting to cut.
• If the brake is tripped by kickback reaction, thechain will stop immediately. Release the throttleto avoid possible damage to the engine or clutch.
• Do not attempt to operate the engine with thebrake locked.
TESTING THE BRAKE• Start the engine on a solid level surface and run
at a fast idle until warm.
• Hold the saw firmly by the handles andaccelerate the engine to a fast idle.
• Slowly operate the chain brake lever whileholding the saw firmly on the ground.When the brake lever trips, the chain shouldstop.Immediately release the throttle trigger.
WARNINGIf the chain does not stop immediately, returnthe saw to your authorized ECHO dealer forrepair.
NOTE• For practice, while cutting a small tree, push
the lever forward to lock the brake.
• Confirm that the brake works properly beforeeach use.
• If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips,function of the brake may deteriorate. Alwayskeep the device clean.
• Do not increase engine revolution while thechain brake is locked.
• Use the chain brake only in starting or inemergencies.
• When using throttle latch at starting, keep thechain brake locked.And after starting the engine, unlock the brakeimmediately.
IMPORTANTDo not allow the saw to tip forward in order toavoid damage to the chain.

AUTOMATIC CHAIN BRAKEKickback produced from the tip of the guide bar willtrip the automatic chain brake. To make sure thatthe automatic chain brake operates properly, followthese steps:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately35 cm (14 in.) above a wooden surface. Righthand should hold the rear handle, and left handshould hold the front handle.
3. Release the front handle and drop the end of theguide bar against the wooden surface.
4. The impact should lock the chain brake.
IMPORTANTWhen checking the operation of the automaticchain brake, use a soft surface substance likewood to provide the impact so the chain is notdamaged.
WINTER OPERATIONUse the winter plug to prevent carburetor trouble inwinter.• Remove air cleaner cover. Remove plug from
warm weather position, and install into coldweather “storage” position.
NOTEFor operation at normal temperature return theplug to its original place. (5°C, 41°F)It causes over heating of the engine.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTEvery unit is run at the factory and the carburetor isset in compliance with Emission Regulations. Inaddition, the carburetor is equipped with “H” (HighSpeed) and “L” (Low Speed) needle adjustmentlimiters that prevent settings outside acceptablelimits.
1. Before adjusting carburetor clean or replace airfilter and muffler “Spark Arrestor Screen”.
2. Make sure the bar and chain are properlyadjusted.
3. Start engine and run several minutes to bring tooperating temperature. Flash choke twice duringwarm-up to clear any air from the fuel system.
4. Stop engine.Turn “H” speed needle counterclockwise (CCW)to stop.Turn “L” speed needle midway between fullclockwise (CW) stop and CCW stop.
5. Idle Speed Adjustment:• Start engine, turn “Idle” speed adjustment
screw CW until the saw chain begins to turn,then turn screw out CCW until the saw chainstops turning.Turn screw out, CCW, an additional 1/4 turn.
6. Accelerate to full throttle for 2 - 3 seconds toclear any excess fuel in the engine, then returnto idle.Accelerate engine to full throttle to check forsmooth transition from idle to high speed.If engine hesitates turn “L” needle CCW 1/8 turnand repeat acceleration.Continue adjustment until smooth accelerationresults.
7. Check idle speed and reset if necessary asdescribed in item 5. If a tachometer is availableidle speed should be set to 2900 - 3100 r/min.
WARNINGCutting attachment must not move when unitis idling.
CAUTIONWhen starting, idling adjustment speedshould be adjusted not to rotate the sawchain. Correct idle speed is adjusted 2900 to3100 r/min. Or 1/4 turn CCW from the pointthe chain stops moving.When you experience trouble with thecarburetor, contact your dealer.
