Chainsaws, like people, come in many different shapes and sizes. Among the various machines available on the market today, ECHO’s CS-610 is a professional, heavy duty petrol chainsaw ideal for felling larger trees, and thus perfect for even the most challenging forestry work. Were ECHO’s CS-610 a person, then, it would be the kind of gentleman you see at the World’s Strongest Man competitions; big, tough, powerful, and certainly not to be messed with.

Take the 59.8cc two-stroke petrol engine at the heart of the CS-610. With an engine of this size you’re already going to be packing a fair amount of punch, but with the improved combustion offered by ECHO’s brilliant Power Boost Tornado^™ technology the CS-610 can outperform pretty much any similarly equipped machine. In addition to this, optimising the combustion process also reduces the amount of unburned fuel released into the atmosphere, so the Power Boost Tornado^™ system also improves fuel efficiency and reduces harmful emissions. A high capacity 0.57 litre fuel tank, meanwhile, increases run time between fuel stops to save valuable time and effort when taking on heavier workloads.

With a sturdy 45cm (18”) guide bar and 3/8” chain fitted as standard, the CS-610 is happily capable of matching its impressive power with its cutting performance. Tough felling, snedding and bucking work has therefore never been easier, with features such as the easy-access side mounted chain tensioner, effective oil pump and optional bumper spike all offering welcome convenience in a variety of cutting conditions. A dual post chain brake handle, moreover, increases durability and allows quick activation of the chain brake for added safety; the chain brake also activates automatically for vital protection in the event of dangerous kickback.

When used on a day-to-day basis for demanding professional cutting work you will undoubtedly also enjoy the little convenient touches included in the CS-610’s design, such as the decompression valve and digitally controlled capacitor discharge ignition, which each help to make starting reliably hassle-free. Also featuring an innovative G-Force Engine Air Pre-Cleaner system to eliminate dirt and debris before it enters the air filter, thereby reducing service requirements and increasing the engine’s service life, the CS-610 benefits significantly from ECHO’s legendary commitment to quality, robust construction; ECHO’s faith in the superb durability of the CS-610 is further reflected in the fact that each machine comes with either a five year domestic warranty or a two year commercial warranty as standard.
