WARNING

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from

all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a com- plete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Allow unit to cool before performing service. Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.

Your ECHO unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will help your unit 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 see your Echo dealer for repairs.

CS-360T, CS-330T specifications

The Echo CS-330T and CS-360T are two impressive chainsaws designed for both professionals and avid DIY enthusiasts. Known for their durability, ease of use, and powerful performance, these models are perfect for tackling various cutting tasks in gardens, forests, and construction sites alike.

The Echo CS-330T features a 30.5cc professional-grade, 2-stroke engine that delivers a powerful performance while ensuring efficiency. This lightweight engine design allows for easy handling and reduces user fatigue during extended use. The CS-330T also boasts a 12-inch bar, making it an ideal tool for pruning, trimming, and safely felling smaller trees with precision.

On the other hand, the CS-360T is equipped with a more powerful 35.8cc engine, providing an even higher performance level for more demanding tasks. The CS-360T's 14-inch bar is perfectly suited for medium-sized trees and larger cutting jobs. Both saws feature a powerful fuel delivery system that ensures quick starts, allowing users to get to work faster and more efficiently.

One notable characteristic of the Echo chainsaws is their innovative Accu-Fire ignition system. This technology enhances starting ease and provides a reliable spark, minimizing the chances of stalling during operation. Additionally, the saws are designed with an automatic oiler, which ensures the chain remains lubricated for smoother cutting and increased longevity.

Weighing in at just 8.6 lbs for the CS-330T and 9.5 lbs for the CS-360T, both models offer a balance of lightness and power, making them highly maneuverable on the job. The ergonomic handle design contributes to user comfort, while the adjustable throttle trigger allows for better control over cutting speed, adapting seamlessly to various tasks.

For safety, the Echo CS-330T and CS-360T are equipped with critical features such as a chain brake that instantly halts the chain in emergencies, reducing the risks associated with accident-prone cutting tasks. The ease of maintenance is also a key advantage, with tool-less chain tensioning for quick adjustments.

In conclusion, the Echo CS-330T and CS-360T chainsaws combine lightweight power, advanced technology, and essential safety features, making them perfect for a wide range of cutting applications. Whether you're a professional or a hobbyist, these chainsaws offer the reliability and performance needed for effective and efficient work.
