Echo, based in Lake Zurich, Ill., introduced the CS-2511T top-handle chainsaw—a compact, gas-powered chainsaw.
The new model is more than a pound lighter than the CS-271T. “With a lighter product, end users have less operator fatigue which equals greater efficiency,” said Joe Fahey, vice president of product planning. “A more compact saw gives users more maneuverability around tightly woven branches.”
The chainsaw includes an easily accessible top-mounted bar oiler, which also prevents the oiler adjustment screw from getting clogged with wood chips and debris, according to Echo. The bar oiler is clutch-driven and adjustable so that the operator can adjust the flow level of oil depending on working conditions. The oiler only operates when the chain is moving, which saves oil and prevents oil from collecting under the saw during idle.
The CS-2511T starts at an MSRP of $379.99 with a one-year commercial warranty. The saw has 12- and 14-inch bar options with the 91PXL chain.
