    I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

    *Coming up on having had this saw for a year....am a casual user and bought it to cut up sections for bowl blanks. Easy to start, **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend even after storage for a couple of months. Simple chain tension adjustment. Just cut up some 20" Osage Orange, including ripping bolts in half (at an angle). Like butter!*

    I wished they start making the place you put your foot in a little bigger as I can never get mine in that little space therefore to me it makes it even more dangerous to start...

      Given that you would normally be wearing safety boots when you start your chainsaw it is unbelievable that the handle loop will only allow you to get you foot in if wearing plimsoles, you would think the safety brigade would have spotted that by now!

      Definitely agree for gas powered chain saws. I've been using a battery powered one for a good many years that has really served me well and starts easy by pressing the trigger release and pressing the trigger. But battery powered chain saws don't seem to have the cut power.

    I just need to know where to put the gas into the chainsaw. I bought a PoulanPro PR3816 today. Please help. Do I just pour it in to the hole? There are silicone "pipes" all throughout the inside and I am confused.

    • @williamzappa3876
      @williamzappa3876 4 роки тому +2

      You should probably NOT use the saw until you are COMPLETELY PREPARED to do so. You only have to be careless once for a tragedy to happen. That TOOL/MACHINE is NOT A TOY!!!

  • @derekrudkin9978

    There is no point in using the choke to start the saw if you put the chain brake on. This is why we run Stihl & not echo.

  • @josipmatic4732
    @josipmatic4732 5 років тому +4

    Yes that is safe for user but with starting chainsaw by dropping is much safer for ignition mechanics becaus you will not break starting rope or something else. If you are not familiar with tools do not use chainsaw at all!

  • @Amp661
    @Amp661 4 роки тому +2

    Stihl chainsaws are slightly different since i use those. instead of that push bubble prime procedure on this Echo, theres an analog button lever that you lock in, prime (sound like a slight cough on the saw), pull the button to the on, pull, and there ya go.

  • @slpip4365
    @slpip4365 4 роки тому +2

    Come on, you stepped at the wrong side of the saw handle. Your right/left foot should be on the wide bottom side of the handle, Right hand should be on the handle bar. Left hand pull the starting cord.

      You use a gas oil mix there’s no oil in a separate tank like a car get a 50-1 mix at the hardware store if u don’t know how or want to mix the gas yourself you buy the cans of pre made 2 stroke 50-1 mix

    Drop starting is perfectly safe as long as you remember to engage the chain brake before starting. The chain brake must of course be in proper working order.

    Drop starting is PERFECTLY safe.........if the saw jerks downward, so what???? Worst case scenario is literally NOTHING.....especially with the saw cradled between your knees....NOTHING can happen!!!!! The saw is mounted at 2 points......it's the SAME thing as starting on the ground....except you Don't look like a fucking amateur.
