SAFETY

General Pruning Saw Safety Warnings

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the pruning

saw is operating. Before you start the pruning saw, make sure the

saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while

operating products may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with

the saw chain.

• Always grasp the pruning saw rmly with both hands when you are

working. This reduces the risk of serious or fatal injuries to the operator or

bystanders from loss of control.

• Hold the pruning saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because

the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a

"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the product "live" and could

give the operator an electric shock.

• Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head,

hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment

will reduce personal injury from ying debris or accidental contact with the

saw chain.

• Do not operate a pruning saw, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any

unstable support. Operation of a product in this manner could result in

serious personal injury.

• Always keep proper footing and operate the pruning saw only when

standing on xed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable

surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the product.

• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert of spring back.

When the tension in the wood is released, the spring loaded limb may

strike the operator and/or throw the product out of control.

• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender

material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you

off balance.

• Carry the pruning saw with the pruning saw switched off and away

from your body. When transporting or storing the product, always

t the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the product will reduce the

likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing

the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either

break or increase the chance for kickback.

• Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for purposes not intended.

For example: do not use product for cutting metal, plastic, masonry

or non-wood building materials. Use of the product for operations

different than intended could result in serious injury or death.

DHS-3006

9992223830112

SAFETY

• This pruning saw is not intended for tree felling.

Use of the pruning

saw for operations different than intended could result in serious injury to

the operator or bystanders.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily

handles are slippery causing loss of control.

• Follow all instructions when clearing jammed material, storing or

servicing the product. Make sure the trigger switch is off and the

battery is removed. Unexpected actuation of the product while clearing

jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.

• Do not operate pruning saw in a tree unless you have been

professionally trained to do so. Operation of a Pruner Saw in a tree

without proper training could increase the risk of serious personal injury. If

working in a tree, the operator must be trained in safe climbing techniques

and the use of all recommended safety equipment such as harnesses,

loops, strops, ropes, and carabiners, for the operator and for the saw.

DHS-3006

99922238301

Causes And Operator Prevention Of Kickback

Tip contact in some cases may cause

a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the

guide bar up and back towards the

operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top

of the guide bar may push the guide bar

rapidly back towards the operator. Either

of these reactions may cause you to lose

control of the saw which could result

in serious personal injury. Do not rely

exclusively upon the safety devices built

into your saw. As a product user, you should take several steps to keep

your cutting jobs free from accident or

injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse

and/or incorrect operating procedures or

conditions and can be avoided by taking

proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a rm grip with both

hands on the saw, and your body

and arms positioned to allow

you to resist kickback forces.

Kickback forces can be controlled

by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the

product.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.

This helps

prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the product in

unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer.

Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or

kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions

for the saw chain.

Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to

increased kickback.

• With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the

element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents. Understand

SAFETY

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar

touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the

saw chain in the cut.

Rotational kickback

Chain moving downward at impact

Kickback Danger Zone

DHS-3006

9992223830116

SAFETY

that rotational kickback is preventable by keeping an unshielded bar nose

from touching an object or the ground.

• Do not operate a pruning saw with one hand! Serious injury to the

operator, helpers or bystanders may result from one-handed operation.

For proper control, always use two hands when operating a pruning saw,

one of which operates the trigger. Otherwise, this can result in the chain

saw "skating" or skidding, which can result in personal injury due to loss

of control.

• Keep a good rm grip on the saw which both hands when the unit is

running. Use a rm grip with thumbs and ngers encircling the pruning

saw handles. A rm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain

control of the saw. Two hands must be used to control the saw at all times.

• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions.

Do not let the bar nose contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction

which could be hit while you are operating the saw.

• Cutting at high speeds may reduce the likelihood of kickback. But cutting

at part-throttle or low speeds may be preferable to control the product in

tight situations and may also reduce the likelihood of kickback.

ASSEMBLY

Chain Lubricant

Proper lubrication of the chain while in

operation minimizes friction between

the chain, the guide bar and sprocket.

Use ECHO genuine chain oil or ECHO

recommended chain oil specially

formulated for bars and chains for

proper lubrication.

Consult your ECHO dealer for the

proper chain oil.

Never use waste or reclaimed oil

to avoid various malfunctions in oil

system, or on chain and guide bar.

Lubrication problems caused by

the use of improper oil will void the

warranty.

Especially, vegetable based chain oil

quickly turns to resin and adheres to oil

pump, chain and guide bar.

It causes malfunctions and will shorten

product life. If vegetable oil use is

required due to local / municipal rule or

any other reason, then ush chain oil

system with mineral or chemical based

chain oil after vegetable oil use.

OPERATION

Checking Chain Tension

Before Use

Remove battery from unit when checking chain tension.

1. Chain tension should be checked

frequently during work and adjusted

as necessary.

2. Tension the chain as tight as

possible, but so it can still be pulled

easily along the guide bar by hand.

Always loosen sprocket cover knob before turning the chain tensioner

knob, otherwise damage can occur to the sprocket cover and tensioner.

Chain Lubrication Test

Pre Cutting Test

Hold the chain just above a dry surface

and open the throttle to half speed for

30 seconds.

A thin line of "thrown" oil should be seen

on the dry surface.

• Familiarize yourself with your product before you start actual cutting.

• For this purpose it may be wise to practice by cutting some small logs or

Do not operate with a loose chain. Serious injury can occur.

DHS-3006

99922238301

OPERATION

Pull-in occurs when the chain on the

bottom of the bar is suddenly stopped or

signicantly slowed when it is pinched,

caught or encounters a foreign object in

the wood. The reaction of the chain pulls

the product forward and may cause the

operator to lose control, which, in turn,

may cause serious or fatal injury.

Pull-in usually occurs when the bumper

of the product is not held securely

against the branch or limb and the chain

is not rotating at full speed before it

contacts the wood.

Pull-in

To reduce the risk of pull-in:

• Cut with a sharp, properly tensioned chain.

• Always start a cut with the chain rotating at full speed and with the bumper

in contact with the wood.

• Use caution when cutting small-size brush, branches and saplings which

may easily catch the chain, spring towards you or pull you off balance.

• Do not use the product with a damaged or missing guard.

Cutting Instructions

General

◆

This product is designed for cutting wood. Do not cut metal,

plastic or any non-wood material.

◆

Wear suitable hearing

protection such as earmuffs

or earplugs to protect

against objectionable or

uncomfortable loud noises.

limbs several times on a sawhorse or cradle.

• Do not allow either people or animals into the work area. Multiple

operators - Keep a safe distance between two or more operators when

working together simultaneously.

DHS-3006

9992223830134

OPERATION

Holding and Controlling the Product

• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum

grip and protection.

• Hold the saw rmly with both

hands.

• Maintain a proper grip on the saw

whenever the unit is running. The

ngers should encircle the handle

and the thumb is wrapped under

the handlebar. This grip is least

likely to be broken (by a kickback

or other sudden reaction of the

saw). Any grip in which the thumb

and ngers are on the same side of

the handle, is dangerous because

a slight kick of the saw can cause

loss of control.

Sap from palm trees may corrode metal parts unless proper saw

maintenance is performed. Make sure to clean metal parts from palm

sap immediately after use.

• Remove sprocket guard. Clean wood chips and sawdust from guard and

motor.

• Never use metal tools for cleaning which can scratch the metal paint and

allow corrosion to develop.

• Clean sap accumulation from metal parts with cloth and warm water with

soap.

• Rinse with clean water and dry metal surfaces.

• Apply a light coating of engine or bar and chain oil to metal parts after they

are cleaned.

• Install and properly tension guide bar and chain. Run motor for one minute

alternating motor speed between maximum RPM for 5 seconds and stop

for 5 seconds to coat metal parts with additional protective chain oil.

DHS-3006

OPERATION

Cutting

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries to the operator

or bystanders, keep hands, feet and other parts of the body

away from the saw chain. Do not touch the saw chain while the

battery is inserted into the product. Never touch the rotating saw

chain with your hand or any part of your body.

To reduce the risk of personal injury,

never work with the product in the rain

or in wet or damp conditions.

Always wear proper clothing and

protective apparel, including proper

eye protection. Work carefully and

maintain proper control of the product.

The product is designed for two-handed

operation.

• Do not operate a pruning saw with

one hand! Serious injury to the

operator, helpers or bystanders may

result from one-handed operation.

For proper control, always use two

hands when operating a pruning

saw, one of which operates the

trigger. Otherwise, this can result in

the chain saw "skating" or skidding,

which can result in personal injury

Never hold the material to be cut or attempt to remove cut

material without rst releasing the trigger switch and

removing the battery. Release the trigger switch and remove

the battery before clearing jammed material.
