The ECHO 16 in. chainsaw has a 34.4 cc professional-grade 2-stroke engine and a 16 in. bar and chain. It has a rear handle design. ECHO describes it as the lightest chainsaw in its class, with a high power-to-weight ratio that reduces fatigue.
An I-30 starting system reduces starting effort by 30%. A purge bulb delivers fresh fuel to the carburetor, and an integrated choke with fast idle and a trigger release mechanism helps with starting. The momentary stop switch returns to the "on" position automatically.
The automatic oiler is clutch-driven and runs only while the chain is moving, which reduces oil consumption. A side-access chain tensioner makes chain adjustments easy. The fuel and oil tanks are translucent, so levels can be checked quickly.
