INSTALLATION

Echo recommends that the chain brake should be serviced by an authorized Echo servicing dealer.

OPERATION

Set the lever in the released position before starting to cut.

If the brake is tripped by kick back reaction, the chain will stop. Immediately release the throttle to avoid possible damage to the engine or clutch.

Do not attempt to operate the engine with the brake en- gaged.

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 en- gine 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.

IMPORTANT

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 Echo dealer for repair.
