17. All chain saw service, other than the items

listed in the operator’s manual maintenance
instructions, should be performed by compe-
tent chain saw service personnel. (For ex-
ample, if improper tools are used to remove
the flywheel or if an improper tool is used to
hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch,
structural damage to the flywheel could occur
and could subsequently cause the flywheel to
burst.)

18. When transporting your  chain saw, use the

appropriate gude bar scabbard.

19. Spark arrester mufflers approved to SAE Stan-

dard J335b are Standard on ECHO Chain
saws to reduce the possibility of forest fires.
Do not operate the chain saw with a loose or
defective muffler. Do not remove the spark ar-
rester screen.
