Hi all, I purchased a brand new echo ground saw recently and I have noticed that the gunsights 'felling sights' are misaligned with the bar. I am unabled to position the bar in a way that would realign. It's really throwing me off my game. Historically, I've consistently dropped trees within inches of a target with little to no thought, but with this saw, if I follow the gunsights the trees are falling feet off of target. 

 

Has anyone got any advice and has anyone experienced a similar issue? Cheers all.

Yeah, that can be frustrating. Some Echo models have sights that are slightly off from the factory. Best thing to do is make a few test cuts on smaller trees or logs and mark your own visual reference on the saw body once you find the true alignment. A quick paint line or scratch mark usually fixes the issue permanently.
