An Evolution in Lightweight Power

The Echo CS-2511WES represents a new evolution in rear-handle chainsaws, delivering an unmatched power-to-weight ratio. Weighing an exceptionally light 2.6kg while producing a power output of 1.1kW, no other chainsaw in its class can compete. It inherits the superb ergonomics and performance benefits of the popular CS-2511TES top-handle model but presents them in a rear-handle configuration perfect for groundwork. Its ultra-compact size and precise control make it the ideal choice for trimming, pruning, detailed wood carving, and other demanding tasks.

Professional Japanese Engineering

At the heart of the CS-2511WES is a 25.0cc professional-grade Echo engine, designed and manufactured in Japan to the highest possible standards. This advanced 2-stroke engine provides powerful and reliable cutting performance while maintaining low emissions and reduced noise levels. The combination of its potent engine and ultra-lightweight frame means operators can complete jobs faster and with significantly less fatigue. This versatility makes it an indispensable tool, capable of everything from cutting firewood to crafting finely detailed works of art.

Designed for the User

Echo has engineered the CS-2511WES with a host of features designed for convenience and safety. It includes Echo’s patented ES-start system for effortless starting, a side-access chain tensioner for quick adjustments, and a choke with automatic fast idle release. Safety is paramount, with an inertia chain brake providing immediate protection. This thoughtful design ensures that the saw is not only powerful and light but also easy and safe to operate, a commitment you can expect from a trusted brand available at Sims Garden Machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Echo CS-2511WES chainsaw best suited for?

The Echo CS-2511WES is ideal for professional arborists, landscapers, and serious domestic users who require a lightweight yet powerful saw for groundwork. Its precision and compact size make it perfect for tasks like pruning, trimming limbs, and detailed wood carving.

What is the main difference between the CS-2511WES and the CS-2511TES?

The primary difference is the handle configuration. The CS-2511WES features a rear handle, which is the standard design for chainsaws used on the ground. The CS-2511TES is a top-handle saw, a design specifically favoured by certified arborists for in-tree climbing work where one-handed operation may be necessary.

How much does the Echo CS-2511WES weigh?

The dry weight of the powerhead (without bar and chain) is just 2.6kg. This ultra-lightweight design significantly reduces operator fatigue, allowing for longer periods of use and greater manoeuvrability.

Does the CS-2511WES have an easy-start system?

Yes, it is equipped with Echo’s patented ES-start system. This technology reduces the amount of pulling effort required to start the engine, making operation much more convenient and less strenuous.
