    Q:Can I use a 24? bar and chain with this saw with no issues?
    by|Apr 10, 2023
    2 Answers
    Answer This Question

    A:  I do not know but I would not try to put a 24" bar and chain on my saw. You need to go to Echo for the answer. What do you plan to cut with a 24" bar? There will be at least a 25% increase in friction to drive the chain no-load and increase loaded power if you cut a larger tree. I do not know if the engine has the power. It will work but the stress will accelerate wear on the engine.

    by|Apr 19, 2023

      A:  No. 40cc is not a large enough motor to efficiently cut with a 24" bar

              A:  I followed the directions its important to make sure prime it correctly plus play with the choke. First pull full out then adjust it abit as needed. Its brand new its going to be alittle finicky. After it get used a few times it will start up no issues. I love this chain saw it cuts everything no issues. I also use echo red fuel mix it works great in all my tools.

                A:  Make sure the switch is on. Wait 10 minutes and try it again without priming the carburetor. If that doesn't work return it to home Depot. If they can't get it to start they will replace it

                  Just What I Needed
                  Bought this saw to take care of a tree that came down in a storm. I initially borrowed my neighbors Stilh 20” to get the job started but quickly realized I would need my own to finish the job. After looking at some reviews and watching this video review https://youtu.be/Sq0dkHXsRkU I decided on this Echo. I was very pleased pleased with performance and it is much lighter than the Stihl I borrowed. Started up easy and had plenty of power to cut main trunk which was about 16-18” diameter.

                    Amazing!
                    This thing was under 2ft of flood water for a couple days thanks to Hurricane Ian & still runs like a top. Amazing product! Would buy again.

                      "CARB Compliant"
                      The gas tank and bar oil tank are not see-through. So in order to fill them up, you have to add a little liquid, then shine a flashlight into the tank, and repeat. The one major problem is it is very hard to start. I choked it, primed the bulb, and pulled and pulled and would not start. I took the plug out and it is completely dry. This is a California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant engine, meaning it is set up to run extremely lean. It finally does start after about 20 pulls.

                        Going on four years, still love it.
                        I love this chainsaw. It's my go-to saw while my Stihl V.031 just sits around waiting. My CS-400 has the 18" bar and it's just right. We spend our summers in New Hampshire clearing our woodlot in order to build when (or if...) I retire. This saw doesn't quit. Starts right up every time. Don't run it without bar oil and flip the bar every time you change the chain and it will last forever. I can't think of anything I don't like about it and would buy another without giving it a second thought.

                          Can't change saw blade
                          The saw blade on this model is almost impossible to replace due to poor design. There is a clamp that has to go around the clutch and not enough room to spread the clamp out without modifying the body of the unit. Maybe the lawn mower repair shop has a special tool for this, at the end user should be able to change the blade without difficulty. The instruction manual doesn't even try to explain how to do it, probably because they know it's not well built and wants you to take it to somebody every time. I saw another YouTube videos that other models by Echo were not designed this way.

                            Great Chainsaw
                            This is a great quality chainsaw. I used it for the first time today and went through two tanks of gas. It worked perfectly and starts on the first pull. I would highly recommend this chainsaw.

                              Very happy
                              I have used several saws in my life. Some pretty big some small. This is a nice smaller/mid size saw. I have only ran a few tanks of fuel thru it at this time. But for what i was wanting and expecting i am very satisfied it starts very easy and has plenty of power for the size saw it is. I've cut some trees that took the entire 18 inch bar and it does a nice job. Hope it continues as is very satisfied

                              I bought this to take down a black locust tree and it was amazing! Cut perfectly and started right away after breaking in the motor.

                                Great little saw made in the USA!
                                I own an echo cs-450p—a fantastic little saw. I use it to fell lodgepole pine for firewood. I also own an echo blower and a hedge trimmer. Both awesome tools. All are Reliable, built tuff, fairly priced, and all purchased from HD. So when i needed a small saw for use around a second home, this cs-400 was a no brainer. I needed to split some large diameter spruce bolts(16-18” in length)—too large to split with a splitting maul. So i used this to rip the bolts half thru then finished the task with the maul. This little saw never missed a tick! Until i hit a nail! Tuned up the chain and right back at it. This is a great little saw. Don’t be fooled. This thing is a beast. Fires every time. These narrow kerf saws are work horses—they cut like a hot knife thru butter. And this one is at the top of it’s class for function and economy. I will choose echo over the other brands any day for quality price ratio. Highly recommend.

                                  Awesome Chainsaw
                                  I bought this saw to cut firewood this year and I am very impressed with the power and performance of this chainsaw. I have cut 2 cords of wood so far with no complaints. On cold starts the saw fires right up. I prime the saw with about 6 pushes and choke pulled out. I give it a good pull and right away it wants to start. Push the choke in pull and it fires right up. I have yet to feel fatigue from holding the saw and cutting firewood. I like that the saw doesn’t vibrate excessively and it isn’t heavy either. To tighten the chain and get yourself up and running is quick and easy. I would recommend this saw quickly to those needing a saw to do the job.
