The installation of a chain brake may be mandatory by law or as stipulated by insurance regulations in your area
of operation. You should inquire through local government offices, your employer or your local dealer to ensure that
your chain saw conforms to the required safety standard. Echo chain brakes have been designed and tested to com-
ply with international safety standards as follows.
USA: ANSI Standard B175.1-2000 Safety Requirement for chain saws
Canada: CSA Standard Z 62.1 CHAIN SAWS
WARNING
ANSI Standard B175.1-2000 stipulates that the brake shall stop the chain in 0.15 seconds maximum (.12 sec avg)
at full throttle. It is the responsibility of the Owner/Operator to ensure that the brake is serviced, adjusted and
tested strictly in accordance with the instructions as detailed herein in order to ensure that the brake performance
is maintained in compliance with the Standard B175.1-2000.
