MAINTENANCE AND CARE

WARNING

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a com- plete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Allow unit to cool before performing service. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.

Your ECHO chain saw is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will help your chain saw 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 ask your ECHO dealer for repairs.

The Echo CS-310 is a lightweight, highly efficient chainsaw designed for homeowners and light-duty professionals who require portability and reliability. This model stands out in the market due to its combination of performance, ease of use, and innovative features, making it an ideal choice for various cutting tasks.

One of the standout features of the Echo CS-310 is its powerful 30.5cc engine. This engine is designed to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining fuel efficiency, making it suitable for extended use in garden and yard maintenance. With a maximum power output of 1.3 horsepower, it provides ample power for cutting through branches, logs, and firewood with ease.

Additionally, the tool-less chain tensioning system allows users to easily adjust the chain tension without the need for any tools, enhancing convenience between cuts.

Safety features are also a focal point of the Echo CS-310, incorporating a chain brake that automatically stops the chain in case of kickback, reducing the risk of accidents during operation. The chainsaw's rear-handle design provides added stability and control, further improving user safety.

In conclusion, the Echo CS-310 chainsaw offers an exceptional blend of lightweight design, powerful performance, and user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for both casual users and those tackling regular outdoor chores.
