Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. Keep ail parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running, Before you start the engine» make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything* Always carry the chain saw with the engine stopped* the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted» or is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. Always shut off the engine before setting it down. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture. Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless specifically trained to do so. 1.

HOW TO FIT THE BAR AND CHAIN o Remove the guide bar holder, a guide bar side-platc and a plastic-piece from the assembly. O Mount the guide bar side plate (inside) and then the guide bar. Notes: o There are two guide bar side plates: inside and outside. o The one is which a guide bar lubricating oil supply hole is provided is the inside guide bar side plate. Guide bar A u o Mount the guide bar. Place the chain tensioner in the hole of the guide bar. 3 o Mount a part of the chain on the sprocket first, then proceed to the other end on the guide bar placing chain tangs into the guide bar groove. Notes: o Ensure the cutting edges of the chain teeth point toward the bar nose or rounded end of the bar. o Mount the guide bar side plate (outside) and the guide bar cover, o Fasten them with nuts lightly. 4 o Tension the chain: hold up the bar end by the hand, and turn the adjusting screw clockwise, o It is important to tension the chain properly. Mesh the chain with the bar at the bar bottom and turn the adjusting screw out about 1/8 turn. o Keep tensioning to get a proper chain tension. It is obtained when the chain comes into contact with the bottom end of the guide bar. A. Chain is properly tensioned B. Chain is improperly tensioned o After the chain is properly tensioned, tighten two nuts with the box wrench firmly, .is the guide bar end slightly lifted. wrench Notes: o Chain tensioning is one of the important cares in the chainsaw operation, o Too tightly tensioned chain will cause premature wear of the chain and the guide bar. o Too loosely tensioned chain may run otf the guide bar. o Under proper tension, the chain provides no noticeable clearance between itself and the bottom end of the guide bar, and yet should be smoothly slided over the guide bar by hand. When you do that, protect your hands by wearing, for example, gloves against possible injury. 6 4. FUEL AND LUBRICANT Fuel o The fuel used for operating the Echo 1001VL is a mixture of gasoline and Kioritz Echo Oil. o The gasoline-oil ratio is 20 to 1. Notes: o Make sure that the mixing ratio is 20 to 1. Any other ratio will cause engine troubles. o Kioritz Echo Oil is not obtainable, use motor oil for 2-cycle engines, o Do not use any oil other than Kioritz Echo Oil or motor oil for 2-cycle engines.
