OPERATION
To Install/Remove Battery Pack
See Figure 5.
WARNING
Always remove battery pack from your tool
when you are assembling parts, making ad-
justments, cleaning, carrying, transporting or
when not in use. Removing battery pack will
prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious personal injury.
NOTE: To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack and keep hands clear of
the lock-out button when carrying or transporting
the tool.
To install battery pack:
Align grooves on battery pack with raised ribs
in the tool's battery port and place the battery
pack in the tool.
WARNING
Make sure the latch on the tool snaps in place
and the battery pack is fully seated and secure
in the battery port before beginning operation.
Failure to securely seat the battery pack could
cause the battery pack to fall out, resulting in
serious personal injury.
To remove battery pack:
Press the battery latch button on the tool and
pull the battery pack out using the handle.
For complete charging instructions, refer to the
Operator's Manuals for your ECHO battery pack
and charger models.
NOTICE
Remove battery pack from unit. Fill oil tank with
bar and chain lubricant (not provided) before
starting the chain saw. Failure to lubricate the
chain will cause damage to the bar and chain.
Chain Oil System
See Figure 6.
Use bar and chain lubricant (not provided) that is
formulated to perform over a wide temperature
range with no dilution required.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise
contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the
bar or chain.
LATCH
Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank.
Check and fill the oil tank when battery is re-
charged, or as needed.
NOTE: It is normal for lubricant to seep from the
saw when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty
the oil tank after each use. When storing the unit
for a long period of time (three months or longer) be
sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent
rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
Before each use, check to make sure that the
chain is properly tensioned. A cold chain is cor-
rectly tensioned when there is no slack on the
underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug,
and it can be turned by hand without binding.
During normal saw operation, the temperature
of the chain increases. The drive links of a cor-
rectly tensioned warm chain will hang approxi-
mately .050 in. out of the bar groove.
See the "Adjusting the Chain Tension" instruc-
tions in the Maintenance section of this manual
to properly adjust the chain tension.
