Chainsaw "Echo" professional class: an excellent choice for complex work

If you at least once faced the need for professional felling of wood, cutting lumber or something similar, then you know perfectly well that chainsaws of the amateur class are not suitable for such cases at all. Having worked cheap "Chinese" without any anti-vibration system, you will curse everything in a couple of hours. The only tool that is ideal for such purposes is the professional chainsaw "Echo".

The power of this kind of saws is not less than 2 l / s, and the resource is equal to several thousand operating hours. They can work "from sunset to dawn" without the risk of overheating or failure of the motor. Saws of this class are distinguished by some "chips". These include a quality anti-vibration system, excellent balancing and an ideal ratio of engine power and tire length. For example, all these indicators are distinguished by a chainsaw "Echo" 350.

Incidentally, the last factor is rarely paid attention when buying, but in vain, because if the tire is long with an insufficiently powerful engine, then such a tool can sit tightly in the tree. And if we add to this the disgusting work of the inertial brake on cheap saws (which is the wrong ratio), then you will get an almost guaranteed failure of the unit.

In our conditions, the key to choosing any tool is almost always its cost. But in the case of professional chain saws this will not work, the power, weight, and other aspects of working with this tool are important, which can save your wallet and health. That's why we'll talk about how to decide on a choice.

Let's start with power, which is often the main parameter. Many people think that buying a saw follows with a "stock". But this is not so. In the case of a gasoline instrument, buying a model that has excess kW is contraindicated. The fact is that using a saw "half-hearted" will inevitably lead to its premature wear. In addition, for excess capacity, you simply in vain overpay money. But the inadequate parameters of this parameter are even worse. You will have to constantly press on the saw, forcefully pushing it in the material. Of course, the chainsaw "Echo" is a fairly reliable tool, but even such extreme use will not survive it.

Unfortunately, buyers still do not pay much attention to ergonomic indicators, and in vain. You can talk a long time about the differences in saws in weight, the presence or absence of rubber pads on the handle. But here everything is subjective, and much depends on whether it is convenient for you to work with the instrument or not. To accurately find out this fact, you have to take it in hand, try to touch all the switches and buttons, in practice checking the convenience of their use.

By the way, do not forget that the "clean" chainsaw "Echo" will seem easier, heavily weighted after pouring all the technical fluids. So if you have any doubts about this parameter, then it is better to look for the tool easier. As for the anti-vibration system, it is considered unfairly to be an exclusively professional saw. This is not so, because even if you often encounter the need to cut down branches, you will quickly appreciate all its merits.

When choosing a tool, pay attention to its configuration. A normal manufacturer will attach a spare chain, tire, an asterisk to its products, as well as a manual with valuable operating advice. Sometimes it is worth reading, so as not to refuel your new saw with diesel fuel. By the way, chainsaw "Echo" in this respect is quite "capricious", preferring only high-quality high-octane gasoline.

It is unacceptable to buy some cheap "Husqvarna" with chain pitch 0, 32, hoping to "stick" on it a chain with a move of 0.4 from "Stihl" or another professional saw. A big step is a sign of a powerful engine. Putting such a chain on a low-power, amateur saw, you will get constant leaks at the saw, a huge consumption of gasoline and oil, as well as instant wear of the engine. The same can be said about the length of the working tire. It should be noted that you can buy a professional saw with a set of tires of different lengths, but you can not put a long tire on a cheap tool. In this case, there is a gross violation of the ratio of engine power and the length of the cutting surface.

As you can see, choosing a gasoline tool is not an easy task. But it's worth it, since the chainsaw "Echo", the price of which you will be pleasantly surprised, will be able to become your faithful assistant in the household.
