Top-Handle Chain Saw Targeted to Arborists

Weighing in at 8 pounds, CS-355T features a 35.8 cc commercial-grade two-stroke engine that delivers 25 percent more power than the ECHO CS-360T chain saw.

Keeping in mind the needs of landscape contractors, ECHO Inc. introduced CS-355T chain saw. Targeted to arborists, the compact design offers a combination of lightweight, easy starting and powerful cutting performance.

''The CS-355T chain saw is the ideal arborist's saw,'' said Brad Mace, product manager for the manufacturer. ''We listened to feedback from the field and this is the saw arborists want. It's lightweight, well-balanced, comfortable to hold and has all the power needed to perform.''

Built with operator comfort in mind, the chain also features an ECHO-exclusive palm rest that provides greater control, supporting the operator's hand and preventing the hand from sliding. The palm rest is adjustable to three hand sizes.

The contoured handle is angled for a natural wrist position so there's less wrist movement while cutting and better balance. CS-355T features a five-year consumer, one-year commercial and 90-day rental warranty, and a lifetime warranty on the ignition module.
