KEEP TO LEFT OF
CUTTING LINE
PUT NO SIDE
PRESSURE ON
THE WHEEL
CHECK FOR WHEEL
DAMAGE
Keep to the left of the saw so that no part of your body is in line with the
cutting wheel. Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting wheel when
the engine is running.
Do all cutting at full throttle speed. Cutting at less than full speed can
damage the clutch by allowing it to slip. Accelerating from slow to full speed
while the wheel is in cutting contact may cause a violent push or pull
reaction resulting in loss of control.
It will take time for the wheel to coast to a stop after the throttle trigger is
released. Be sure to wait for rotation to stop before releasing your grip on
the saw handles. Always shut off the engine before setting down the saw.
Always carry the saw with the engine stopped and the hot muffler away from
your body. Do not touch a hot muffler or cylinder.
Remove the wheel from the saw prior to transport or storage. Store wheels
properly to avoid damage from uneven pressure, moisture and extreme
temperatures.
Do not grind on the side of an abrasive cut-off saw wheel, or put any side
pressure on the wheel during cutting. Avoid letting the saw tilt or wobble off
line.
Use new, properly qualified wheels of correct diameter, thickness and
mounting hole size. The wheel blotters and the mounting flanges should be
in good condition, and the mounting bolt should be tightened to the proper
torque.
Inspect the wheel carefully for cracks, edge damage and warping before
use. Do not use any wheel that has been dropped.
All items of adjustment and maintenance given in this operator's manual
should be performed as necessary, and may be done by the saw owner. AII
required items of service or adjustment not listed in this manual should be
performed only by a qualified ECHO servicing dealer.
Over speeding of the engine, or wrong size pulleys in the belt transmission
can result in dangerously high wheel speeds. Install only the proper
diameter pulleys in the belt transmission. The engine no load maximum
speed is controlled by a vibration-sensitive governor. Check speed with a
tachometer, or contact your ECHO dealer if you suspect the governor is not
working properly.
