Chain Saw Instruction Manual MODELS : CS-330T CS-360T WARNING DANGER Read rules for safe operation and instructions carefully. ECHO provides an Instruction Manual and a Safety Manual. Both must be read and understood for proper and safe operation.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION A. Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users WARNING! 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. 1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents. 2.
7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running. 14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture. 8. Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything. 15. Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas. 9. Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. 16.

PREPARATION FOR USE KICK GUARD® TO BAR INSTRUCTIONS For saws with Kick Guard® P/N 2894901 and symmetrical or asymmetrical low-kick type guide bars. 1. Install bolt (A) in rear hole (B) of Kick Guard® and through front hole (C) in guide bar. 2. IMPORTANT: Dimple in Kick Guard® (D) must engage recess in guide bar (E). 3. Tighten nut (F) and bolt (A) until snug. Make certain Kick Guard® is flush against guide bar.
7. Turn saw over and check brake band (O) for correct position around clutch drum (P). If brake band is not in place around drum, remove clutch cover, make sure brake is released, and reinstall. DANGER P Never operate saw if chain brake does not function properly, otherwise saw damage and serious personal injury could result. See “Testing the Brake” instructions. O 8.
FUEL AND LUBRICANT NOTICE: Use of unmixed, improperly mixed, or fuel older than 90 days, (stale fuel), may cause hard starting, poor performance, or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Storage section of this manual. Fuel Mix Chart 50:1 FUEL STATEMENT GASOLINE - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline or gasohol known to be good quality. Gasohol may contain up to 10% Ethyl (grain) alcohol or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether).
CHAIN LUBRICANT Proper lubrication of the chain while in operation reduces friction between the chain and the guide bar to a minimum and assures a longer service life. • use bar and chain oil of high quality for this purpose. • Do not use used or reclaimed oil to avoid various oiler problems. • Use ECHO bar and chain oil. • When ECHO bar and chain oil is not available: Use motor oil, etc. • Use bar and chain oil of the following grades: SAE NO. 30 ..... in summer SAE NO. 10 .....
STARTING WARM ENGINE E 1. Ensure that there is fuel and chain oil in the tanks. A 2. Move chain brake lever (E) fully forward to lock chain brake before starting. 3. Lay unit on a flat, clear area and keep bar and chain clear of all obstacles.Hold top handle with one hand, and depress throttle trigger lockout, but do not depress throttle trigger. C 4. Move ignition/choke lever (A) forward to “Run” position ( I ). 5. Pull starter handle.
CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL WARNING DANGER Read the ECHO “CHAIN SAW SAFETY MANUAL” included with your chain saw for additional cutting and safety instructions. Failure to obey all instructions may result in serious or fatal injuries. In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a oneman job. It is difficult at times to take care for your own safety, so don’t assume the responsibility for a helper as well.
FELLING A TREE WARNING DIRECTION OF FALL 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 3m from the trunk to avoid the trunk kicking back over the stump.
Don’t cut with the saw overhead or the bar in a vertical position. If the saw should kick back you may not have good enough control to prevent possible injury. Bucking is the sawing of a log or fallen tree into smaller pieces. There are a few basic rules which apply to all bucking operations. Keep both hands on the handles at all times. Support logs if possible. Uphill position When cutting on a slope or hillside, always stand uphill.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE Your ECHO unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will help your unit achieve that goal. If you are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to take your unit to an ECHO Service Dealer for maintenance. To help you decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the ECHO Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed see your Echo dealer for repairs.
AIR FILTER 1. Close choke (Cold Start Position [ ]). This prevents dirt from entering the carburetor throat when the air filter is removed. Brush accumulated dirt from air cleaner area. 2. Remove air filter cover. Brush dirt from inside cover. 3. Remove air filter and lightly brush debris from filter. Replace filter if it is damaged, fuel soaked, very dirty, or deformed. 4. Install air filter cover.
SPROCKET • A damaged sprocket (C) will cause premature damage or wear of saw chain. Clean sprocket, clutch and bar mount area before installation of bar. Check sprocket when you install new chain. When outer diameter of sprocket is worn 0.5mm (.020”) or more, replace it. • • Worn : 0.5 mm C IMPORTANT Some tree sap and resins are corrosive. Thoroughly wash the guide bar and sprocket areas after each use, then coat metal parts with light oil. SPARK PLUG • Check periodically.
MUFFLER SPARK ARRESTOR IMPORTANT Carbon deposits in muffler will cause a drop in engine output and overheating. Spark arrestor screen must be checked periodically. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove air filter cover and remove spark plug lead. Remove two guide bar nuts and remove sprocket guard. Remove three muffler cover screws and remove muffler cover. Remove spark arrestor screen cover, gaskets, and screen from muffler body. Clean carbon deposits from muffler components.
LOW ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT Engines that have been adjusted to operate at high altitudes must be readjusted to operate properly at altitudes below 2000 feet. 1. Start engine and run for several minutes to reach operating temperature. 2. Stop engine. C 3. Start engine and turn the high-speed needle (A) rich (CCW) until the engine runs between 13,500 and 14,500 RPM. Then turn the low-speed needle (B) rich (CCW) until the engine does not hesitate when accelerated. DO NOT REMOVE LIMITER CAPS! A B 4.

SETTING THE SAW CHAIN For setting saw chains, round file (4 mm ø: 5/32”) and flat file are used. • To keep correct position and correct angle, use the file holder. - Round file and flat file are available from your Echo Dealer. • File cutters as below.
TROUBLESHOOTING Poor performance of the engine and/or cutting mechanism can normally be prevented by carefully following these instructions. Poor performance can easily be corrected even by a beginner. When the engine does not function properly check the following three (3) points first.
Table 2 Improper fuel used ........................................ Use fuel with correct mixing ratio. Never use gasoline of poor quality. Engine overheated Spark plug defective (worn) ........................... Replace. As cooling fins clogged, air does not pass well ........................................ Clean fins. Ouput (engine speed) insufficient Excessive deposits in combustion chamber ..................................... Disassemble and remove carbon.
STORAGE AFTER USE • Inspect and adjust every part of the chain saw. - Completely clean every part, and repair, if necessary. - Apply thin coating of oil on metal parts to prevent corrosion. • Drain fuel tank, pull starter slowly a few times to drain fuel from carburetor. • Pour a small amount of clean two-stroke oil into spark plug hole, pull starter 2 to 3 times, then leave the piston at TOP DEAD CENTER. • Store in a dry area, free from dust.
INSTALLATION 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 and accelerate the engine to a fast idle. • 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. Echo recommends that the chain brake should be serviced by an authorized Echo servicing dealer.
