This lightweight but powerful petrol-driven machine from Japanese power-tool innovators Echo offers the sort of effortless handling & superior build-quality that are essential for farmers & estate workers who are regularly undertaking demanding chainsaw applications. It’s equipped with a high-performance 36.6cc two-stroke engine, which features Echo’s Power Boost Tornado™ technology, whereby power-delivery & fuel-consumption are minimised, while the emission of harmful exhaust particulates is cut (the engine is Stage Two compliant). Other engine features include Easy-Start (ES), which lessens starter-cord resistance for almost effortless ignition; & a tool-free filter cover that makes removal of the air-filter for replacement or cleaning purposes a quick & simple task. Echo CS-370ES Petrol Chainsaw is fitted with an automatic chain-oiler, with an adjustable flow-rate that can be set to suit the density of the wood you’re working with. So as to avoid wastage & mess, the oil flow to the guide-bar is cut when the engine is at idle. A six-point vibration-reduction system combines with the saw’s low-weight build (4.5kg) to facilitate extended periods of use; while the provision of an automatic inertia-activated chain-brake confers maximum user-safety in the unlikely event one of the chain teeth catches a knot in the wood.
