WARNING
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 saw chain designated as, “LOW-KICKBACK,” that meets the ANSI B175.1-2000 Standard when tested on the
representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 C.I.P. specified, and the Echo guide bar specified.
IMPORTANT
Chain and guide bar gauge size must be identical. Use Bar/Chain combinations shown in table
above.
IMPORTANT
