Tiny echo!

Rob, others, what is the best system for sharpening these icky little chains?

 

Round file, as with all chains, just a very small file.

[Ukulian]

3.2mm (1/8") round file. Stihl do a kit

[Treemover]

Can I use that Stihl file system, the one that has two round files and a flat file? I find it a handy thing for on site touch ups; but find it really good on the small chain on my Stihl ms 181

Will put all the points to Steve at Countax - you never know!

 

 

The 1/4 picco chain is a 3.2 mm file - it's fiddly to sharpen!

A 3.2mm file, but buy the oregon ones not the stihl ones, much better files

It is a shame - but onwards and upwards...

 

 

 

 

Are there any other gripes or opinions on what else could be improved on this saw? I have said about the on off switch being a little Mickey Mouse!

 

 

 

 

Anything else? Any thoughts I can forward to Echo and they may influence the new model.

 

 

 

The 2511 is promised to have more performance than this one and be lighter in weight. But production will not start until Sept so will be a while before they come into circulation.

 

I thought it was amazing to start but the last couple of times of use it's been a nightmare to run. Cutting out straight after cuts and bogging down so much in the tiniest cut, I have a feeling the carb adjusters must have rattled themselves loose or something.

 

I'll be getting a refund i think and just wait to see what's said about the new after a couple of months! Shame as it started off great!

Sounds like my one , took it back 3 times got exchange in the end as they couldn't sort it

The only thing that I've noticed with the 2510tes is that it seems like there is significantly more vibration than with the ms150. But I suppose with such a small light weight engine/body it's difficult to suppress this vibration.

 

I haven't yet from echo about the recall. I can't see anything on the uk website about it. As far as a replacement saw. I'd really like to try the cs360 rather than the cs280. I think they're pretty similar in price, So it'd be great if that was a possible option.
