MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Your ECHO chain saw is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will help your chain saw achieve that goal. If you are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to take your unit to an ECHO Service Dealer for maintenance. To help you decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the ECHO Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed ask your ECHO dealer for repairs.

SKILL LEVELS

Level 1 = Easy to do. Most required tools come with unit.

Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.

ECHO offers REPOWER™ Maintenance Kits and Parts to make your maintenance job easier. Just below each task heading are listed the various part numbers required for that task. Ask your ECHO dealer for these parts.

CS-500P specifications

The Echo CS-500P is a robust chainsaw designed for both professional landscapers and avid homeowners. Combining power, efficiency, and advanced technology, this chainsaw is ideal for cutting tasks ranging from light pruning to heavy-duty tree felling.

At the heart of the Echo CS-500P is a 50.2 cc professional-grade two-stroke engine that allows the chainsaw to deliver exceptional power. This engine technology not only ensures high performance but also optimizes fuel efficiency, enabling longer run times between refuels. The engine is designed to reduce emissions, complying with stringent environmental standards, making it an eco-friendlier option in its class.

The CS-500P features a high-quality 20-inch bar and chain, which provides excellent cutting capacity. The chain is designed for high performance, delivering smooth cuts while minimizing kickback—a vital feature that enhances operator safety. Additionally, it comes equipped with a centrifugal air cleaning system that removes larger dust and debris particles before they reach the air filter. This system significantly extends the life of the air filter and reduces maintenance needs, ensuring the chainsaw operates at peak performance for longer periods.

Another key feature of the Echo CS-500P is its ergonomic design. The chainsaw includes a lightweight design that balances power and portability, allowing for easy handling during extended use. The anti-vibration technology incorporated into the handle effectively reduces user fatigue, making it suitable for extensive cutting tasks.

Further enhancing the user experience is the easy-to-use starting system. The CS-500P features a mechanical ignition system that allows for quick startups, even in cold conditions. The side-access chain tensioner simplifies chain adjustment, ensuring that the chain remains properly tightened without the need for additional tools.

Built for durability, the Echo CS-500P is constructed with high-quality materials, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of professional use. With its combination of power, efficiency, and innovative design, the Echo CS-500P chainsaw is an excellent choice for anyone in need of a reliable cutting tool, whether for occasional yard work or intensive forestry tasks. The Echo name is synonymous with quality, making this chainsaw a trusted companion for those who demand performance and dependability.
