CUTTING INSTRUCTION

Kickback

GENERAL

CAUTION

•Read the ECHO “CHAIN SAW SAFETY MANUAL” included with your chain saw for additional cutting and safety instructions.

•Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs to 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 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.

It is difficult at times to take care for your own safety, so don’t assume the responsibility for a helper as well.

After you have learned the basic techniques of using the saw, your best aid will be your own good common sense.

The accepted way to hold the saw is to stand to the left of the saw with your left hand on the front handlebar and your right hand on the rear handle so you can operate the throttle trigger with your right index finger.

Before attempting to fell a tree, cut some small logs or limbs.

Become thoroughly familiar with the controls and the responses of the saw.

Start the engine, see that it is running properly. Squeeze the trigger to open the throttle wide open and start the cut. If the chain is properly sharpened, the cutting should be relatively effortless.

It is not necessary to press down hard to make the saw cut.

Pushing the saw too hard will slow the engine and cutting will actually be more difficult.

Some material may adversely affect the housings of your chain saw.

(Example palm Tree Acid, fertilizer etc.)

To avoid housing deterioration, carefully remove all packed sawdust around clutch and guide bar area and wash with water. Coat metal parts with light oil.

The Echo CS-450P is a powerful chainsaw designed for demanding tasks in various environments, ideal for both professional landscapers and avid DIY enthusiasts. Known for its durability and performance, this model showcases several outstanding features and technologies that set it apart from other chainsaws in its class.

At the core of the CS-450P is its robust 45.0 cc professional-grade, 2-stroke engine. This engine is engineered to deliver high power output while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency, making it suitable for extensive cutting tasks without the need for frequent refueling. The chainsaw is equipped with a decompression valve that simplifies starting, reducing the necessary pulling force, especially after prolonged storage or in cold conditions.

One of the standout features of the CS-450P is its Power Boost Vortex technology. This innovation enhances air intake, resulting in a more efficient combustion process.

Additionally, the ergonomic handle design minimizes fatigue, allowing users to operate for extended periods with comfort.

Another significant aspect of the CS-450P is its anti-vibration technology. This feature helps absorb shock during operation, which not only enhances comfort but also promotes better control over the saw, especially during prolonged use. This is particularly beneficial for professional users who may be operating the chainsaw for hours at a time.

For user convenience, the CS-450P includes a convenient tool-less air filter cover, making maintenance easier and quicker. This accessibility encourages regular cleaning and upkeep, which ultimately prolongs the life of the chainsaw. It also features an automatic oiling system, ensuring that the chain remains lubricated during operation, thereby enhancing cutting efficiency and reducing wear on the bar and chain.
