Just purchased an Echo CS-490 chainsaw and can find not one word about break-in throughout the Instruction Manual.
I've got the Echo gas/oil mix and the Echo chain and bar oil. If no one has any specific knowledge about the break-in process I'm going to run a tank full of fuel at various speeds with no cutting and a tank of fuel with some very light cutting while being careful to vary the speed and gradually increase the work load.
Also, I find that tension adjustment instructions are vague. I'm used to seeing something like, always have a half inch gap. Any ideas?
I purchased the chainsaw directly from Home Depot because they gave me $75 off if I accepted an HD credit card which I'll pay off as soon as the card arrives in the mail.
