The ECHO CS-590 Petrol Chainsaw is built for users who need real cutting power without stepping into an oversized forestry-only machine. ECHO describes it as a rear-handle petrol chainsaw with a 59.8cm³ professional-grade engine that, at just 6.0kg dry weight, is designed to get through the toughest jobs while still staying versatile and mobile in the hands.  

This is the sort of saw that suits farmers and other professionals dealing with a wide range of demanding work. Whether it is cutting larger firewood, clearing fallen timber, tackling shelterbelts or handling tougher property maintenance, the CS-590 gives you the step up in power and bar capacity that lighter homeowner saws cannot match. ECHO specifically highlights its combination of strong engine performance and light weight mobility as one of the reasons it is such a versatile professional saw.  

At the heart of the CS-590 is a 59.8cm³ engine producing 2.98kW, giving it the grunt needed for heavy cutting while still maintaining a strong power-to-weight ratio. ECHO calls out this balance directly, along with its ergonomic design, saying the saw is built to maximise efficiency and comfort on the job.  

The saw is also set up with practical, job-focused features that make everyday use easier. It uses a decompression start assist system for easier starting, a side access chain tensioner for quicker chain adjustments, and an inertia chain brake for safety. It also includes G-Force Engine Air Pre-Cleaner and a spike, both useful features when the saw is being worked hard in dusty or demanding conditions. ECHO also notes that a replaceable sprocket nose bar is available.  

With 16”, 18” and 20” bar length options, a 3/8” chain pitch, 0.058” gauge, and a large 0.65L fuel tank, the CS-590 is a strong fit for New Zealand users who want a dependable petrol saw for proper workload, not just light trimming. It is a serious machine for serious work.
