Matt tests out the Echo CS-2511TESC on an active job site and comes back with his thoughts on his first use of an Echo chainsaw.

The Echo CS-2511TESC 10" Chainsaw is Echos lightest ever top handle chainsaw. Weighing just 2.3kgs(dry weight) it is one of the lightest on the market, but the 1.1kW output gives it an excellent power-to-weight ratio. Its ergonomic design and compact casing makes it easy to use and not too much of an object hanging from a harness, and reduces fatigue when in use. It also has wider tank openings for easy refuelling, and the starter grip assist can be used as a screwdriver to help open the tanks when wearing gloves. The captive side case nut and easy access to the air filter also make maintence very quick and easy without the risk of losing small parts.
