SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Always wear work gloves when handling saw chain, otherwise serious personal injury may result.
To Adjust Saw Chain Tension.
1.
Loosen two (2) 11 mm (7/16") guide bar bolts (A) located on cutting
attachment using the adjustment wrench provided.
2.
Turn saw chain tightener screw (B) (located next to guide bar in
sprocket cover) clockwise to tighten saw chain on guide bar.
Turning screw counter clockwise will loosen saw chain on guide
bar.
3.
Tighten guide bar bolt firmly, but not so much that the head starts
to distort. Move saw chain backwards on guide bar by hand. Saw
chain should move freely on guide bar if it is in proper mesh with
sprocket.
Keep the saw chain lubricated and properly adjusted and the guide
bar bolt tightened firmly at all times. If saw chain is difficult to
rotate or binds on guide bar, it is too tight.

Two-Stroke Oil
A two-stroke engine oil meeting proposed ISO-L-
EGD Standard (ISO/CD 13738), must be used. Echo brand Premium
50:1 oil meets this proposed standard. Engine problems due to inad-
equate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD approved oil,
such as Echo Premium 50:1 Two-stroke Oil, will void the two-stroke
engine warranty. (Emission related parts only are covered for two
years, regardless of two-stroke oil used, per the statement listed in the
EPA Phase I/California Emission Defect Warranty Explanation.)
Mixing - Follow directions on the oil container.
