Petrol chain saw CS-353ES

This professional chainsaw can be used for any wood density. Two-stroke engine with one cylinder, displacement 34 cm³, air cooling. Power 2.16 hp or 1.59 kW, the saw chain speed reaches 13,500 rpm. With the maximum load of the Echo CS-353ES chainsaw, fuel consumption is 0.74 kg / h. The chain is supplied with oil automatically, but there is no possibility to adjust the flow rate. To turn on the saw, a manual starter with an "Easy Start" system and a primer are used.

To make the use of the chainsaw safe, there is a protective guard between the chain and the handle at the front. If the hand slips, it will jump on it, and the brake will automatically apply, stopping the rotation of the chain. To protect the user from the torn off equipment, a protective shield is provided on the back of the Echo chainsaw, and a chain catcher is installed. The weight of the chain saw of this model is 4 kg, without the installed bar, saw chain and consumables (fuel, oil). For comfortable operation, it is evenly distributed throughout the body. To prevent the emitted noise from being too loud, a special silencer is provided to suppress it.

The installed shock absorbers significantly reduce the vibration level during operation, which allows for more precise control of the cutting process, and does not create a large load on the hands.

For trouble-free and long-term operation of the saw, it is not recommended to use gasoline with an octane rating of less than 89. Do not add fuel containing methyl alcohol.
