SAFETY CS-3510 SAFETY Rules For Safe Operation Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users KICKBACK may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
CS-3510 SAFETY 2. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Don’t let go. 3. Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions.
SAFETY CS-3510 • Slowly operate the chain brake lever while holding the saw firmly on the ground. When the brake lever trips, the chain should stop. Immediately release the throttle trigger. Do not allow the saw to tip forward in order to avoid damage to the chain. If the chain does not stop immediately, return the saw to your authorized dealer for repair. Note: • For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the lever forward to lock the brake. • Confirm that the brake works properly before each use.
CS-3510 ANSI Standard B175.1 and CSA Z62.1.3 stipulate that the brake shall stop the chain 0.12 seconds at an engine speed of 13,500 r/min. It is the responsibility of the owner/ operator to ensure that the brake is serviced, adjusted and tested strictly in accordance with the instructions as detailed here in order to ensure that the brake performance is maintained in compliance with the Standards B175.1 and CSA Z62.1.3 SAFETY 35 cm (14 in.
SAFETY CS-3510 Other Safety Precautions 1. Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A chain saw is intended for twohanded use. 2. Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued. 3. Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing and protective gloves. Wear eye, hearing, and head protection devices. 4. Use caution when handling fuel.
CS-3510 SAFETY 18. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard. 19. A spark arrestor muffler approved to SAE Standard J335 is standard on this chain saw to reduce the possibility of forest fires. Do not operate the chain saw with a loose or defective muffler. Do not remove the spark arrestor screen. 20. When using a chainsaw a fire extinguisher should be available. 21. When felling, keep at least 2 tree lengths between yourself and your fellow workers. 22.

CS-3510 OPERATION Fuel Requirements Gasoline - Use fresh (purchased within the last 30 days from the pump) 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved. Use of ECHO branded fuel is recommended to extend engine life in all air-cooled 2-stroke and 2/4-stroke hybrid engines.
OPERATION ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ CS-3510 Use an approved fuel container. Mark fuel containers as containing 2-stroke mixture fuel. DO NOT smoke near fuel. DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel. Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize. NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING! DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground. DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.
CS-3510 OPERATION Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some locations may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers to reduce fuel spillage. Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building, away from sparks and flames. • Empty the fuel tank prior to storing the unit.
OPERATION • Use bar and chain oil of high quality for this purpose. CS-3510 Fuel tank cap • Do not use used or reclaimed oil to avoid various oiler problems. • Use high quality bar and chain oil. • Use bar and chain oil of the following grades: • SAE No. 30....in summer • SAE No. 10....in winter or when cutting resinous trees. Oil tank cap • When refueling, also refill chain oil. Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
CS-3510 OPERATION Winter Operation Air cleaner cover - Use the winter plug (A) to prevent carburetor trouble in winter. A • Remove air cleaner cover.

OPERATION ◆ ◆ ◆ 6. CS-3510 After choke control knob is pulled and then knob is returned to original position, throttle remains slightly open (fast idle latch condition). The chain will attempt to move when engine is started with fast idle throttle latch engaged. Do not start engine before chain brake is locked. Securely hold the chain saw and pull starter handle several times until first starting sound. 7. Push choke control knob (B) all the way IN (OPEN 8. Pull starter handle to start the engine.
CS-3510 1. Move chain brake lever fully FORWARD to LOCK chain brake before starting. 2. Confirm there is fuel and chain oil in the tanks. 3. Securely hold the chain saw as shown and pull starter handle. 4. Choke (A) may be used if necessary, but after first starting sound, squeeze throttle trigger to release choke to OPEN and return engine to idle. OPERATION Chain Brake Locked Note: If engine does not start after 5 pulls, use cold start procedure.
OPERATION CS-3510 1. After engine starts, allow it to return to idle and warm up before using. 2. Move chain brake lever fully REARWARD to UNLOCK chain brake. 3. Squeeze throttle trigger (A) gradually and increase engine speed. 4. The chain starts running when the engine reaches clutch engagement speed (see technical data page). 5. Confirm proper acceleration and lubrication of chain and bar. 6. Do not run the engine at high speed unnecessarily. 7.
CS-3510 OPERATION Note: Return the unit to your authorized dealer to check and repair stop switch before starting the engine again. Checking Chain Tension Chain tension should be checked frequently during work and corrected as necessary. Do not operate with a loose chain. Chain Lubrication Test Hold the chain just above a dry surface and open the throttle to half speed for 30 seconds. A thin line of “thrown” oil should be seen on the dry surface.
OPERATION ◆ CS-3510 protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises. Do not let the tip of the bar touch anything while the engine is running. At cutting speed the chain is moving at a high rate of speed. Should the tip Kickback contact 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! In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a one-man job.
CS-3510 OPERATION Sap from palm trees may corrode metal parts unless proper saw maintenance is performed. Make sure to clean metal parts from palm sap immediately after use. • Remove sprocket cover. Clean wood chips and sawdust from cover and engine crankcase. • Never use metal tools for cleaning which can scratch the metal paint and allow corrosion to develop. • Clean sap accumulation from metal parts with cloth and warm water with soap. • Rinse with clean water and dry metal surfaces.
OPERATION Before cutting, clear the area around the tree. You will need good footing while working and you should be able to work the saw without hitting any obstacles. Next, select a path of retreat. When the tree begins to fall you should retreat away from the direction of fall at a 45-degree angle and at least 3 m (10 feet) from the trunk to avoid the trunk kicking back over the stump.
CS-3510 OPERATION Limbing Limbing 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 aligned vertically with your body. If the saw should kickback, you may not have enough control to prevent possible injury. Bucking Bucking is the sawing of a log or fallen tree into smaller pieces.
OPERATION CS-3510 Keep in mind that the wood is heavy and that it will bend and pinch the saw if improperly supported. The trunk will weaken at the point where you make the cut unless the tree is lying on perfectly flat ground 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 is harmful for the saw, and you stand a good chance of being struck by flying debris. When the bar nose hits another tree, etc.
CS-3510 MAINTENANCE Replacement guide bars. The following guide bars may be considered to have equivalent kickback energy. • Sprocket nose guide bars of the same length and nose radius, same pitch and having the same number of teeth. • Hard nose guide bars of the same length and nose radius as a sprocket nose bar. Saw Chain (Low-kickback) Only use saw chain designated as, “LOW-KICKBACK,” that meets ANSI B175.1 or CSA Z62.1, .3 Standard when tested on the representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 C.
