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 comply 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 0.10 seconds (one tenth) at an engine speed of 8000 RPM.
