Use of replacement saw chain and/or guide bar other than that specified, or operation without the “tip guard” in place, may cause severe kickback resulting in serious injury. Only use replacement guide bar and saw chain that has been designated as meeting the ANSI B175.1 and/or CSA Z62.3 requirements. All of the guide bar and chain combinations listed above meet the ANSI B175.1 and/or CSA Z62.3 requirements.

Chain and guide bar gauge size must be identical. Use Bar/Chain combinations shown in table above.

If your tip guard is damaged or lost, contact your Echo dealer for a replacement. For the name of the Echo dealer nearest you, Call: 1-800-432-ECHO (3246) or on the web at www.echo-usa.com.

Refer to your Chain Saw Safety Manual for tip guard application information.

Guide Bar

(Low-kickback)

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)

Do not use replacement saw chain unless it has been designated as meeting the ANSI B175.1 kickback performance requirements, when tested on the representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 c.i.d. specified in ANSI B175.1.

Note: LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN meets the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 (safety requirements for gasoline-powered chain saws).
