The description of ECHO’s CS-360WES as a “slimline” chainsaw might seem to imply that it is a saw designed for those with particularly small tool sheds (sort of the arboricultural version of a slimline refrigerator), but it in fact reflects this machine’s superbly light, compact and manoeuvrable design. This makes the CS-360WES particularly easy to handle and enjoyable to use, providing impressive cutting power perfect for a wide range of jobs around homes, gardens and farms.

Designed for tasks such as pruning, snedding and felling small trees, the CS-360WES is powered by a hardworking 35.8cc two-stroke petrol engine and suitable for both domestic and professional use. We can thank ECHO’s innovative Power Boost Tornado™ technology for this, improving combustion to ensure increased power, greater fuel efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions. This in turn allows the CS-360WES to compete with chainsaws which might seem much more powerful on paper, but with the additional advantage of the added portability and accuracy of cut provided by a superbly lightweight (only 3.7kg) build.

Fitted as standard with a sturdy 35cm guide bar and 3/8” pitch chain, the CS-360WES complements its ease of operation with impressive clout. As such this excellent machine will make light work of even challenging tasks, offering power belied by its relatively compact size. A side mounted chain tensioner screw, moreover, makes it easy to tighten the chain prior to use, while an optional bumper spike is also included for added versatility, so you can be completely assured of outstanding results every time. In addition to this, the CS-360WES also features an effective inertia chain brake, providing vital protection against kickback events.

A range of convenient features, furthermore, helps to make the CS-360WES even easier to use. A practical Easy Start system, for example, reduces starter cord resistance and combines with digitally controlled capacitor discharge ignition for dependably hassle-free starting, thus saving time and effort from the moment you begin working. Tool-less air filter removal, moreover, facilitates routine maintenance to help ensure a longer service life, and to ensure complete peace of mind ECHO even offers either a five year domestic warranty or a two year commercial warranty as standard with every machine.
