In reply to Bob Pell. Oiling gear is plastic and will strip in colder weather. Thin your bar oil down with light motoroil,keep in a warm place before using and between usesif posable

I’ve now cut down and cut up about 30 trees anywhere from 12” to 24” across and my only complaint about this saw is how often I have to tighten chain it seem like every 10 to 15 cuts. Other than that cuts like a hot knife through butter and has plenty of power

I have the cs-590 with a 20″ bar. My question is what chain do I need? There’s so many different chains with different numbers. Thank you.

I have had Echo cs590 in the shop 3 times since I bought it 3 years ago for not oiling. It was covered under warranty but I fear this time I’ll be told that it needs a new bar which shouldn’t happen after maybe 10 hours of shouldn’t happen after only 10 hours (approximately) of use. Hope to have a better outcome next time I use it. I own several echo tools and had no problem with them.

I just cut down two whites 10″ and it never backed down. I love this saw. Its sharp out of the box and better than I expected.

Chain gets wood under it between bar and chain restricting chain on the new CS590. I also have an older CS400 that never have had this problem. Just purchased a new Oregon 20″ bar and chain for theCS590 and have not installed it hoping for better results.
Oak and hickory are the type of trees I cut. I have 50 years experience and never had this problem with a new saw.
