An Overview of the ECHO CSG-7410 Cut-Off Saw
May 10, 2019
As a long-time user of the Husqvarna K760 Power Cutter, I was interested in seeing how the ECHO CSG-7410 Cut-Off Saw compared.
In this video, put it through its paces and share what I do and don’t like about it. So, my takeaways from the ECHO CSG-7410 after using it on a commercial project with a bunch of asphalt?
Pros:
-
Compact and lightweight, which I like
-
The water system for wet cutting is cool
-
The big arbor bolt is good for easily swapping blades out
-
The killswitch works perfectly
-
A 4-stage air cleaner on the filter
-
The sight feature is cool
-
The shield release is easy to use (when you pull it the right way!)
Cons:
-
The choke feels kinda flimsy
-
While the sight feature is cool, it’s not fixed, so it will wiggle around in use
-
The shield isn’t loose all the time, so it can be hard to adapt to different cutting needs
-
The fuel tank seems a bit small for it, and leads to more refueling
-
I wish it had a place to store your repair tools on it, like the Husqvarna does
-
The chassis is a little shorter than I’m used to, but that’s just me
Overall, the ECHO CSG-7410 cut-off saw is a good saw, without jumping out the box as being great. For their first attempt at this kind of product, though, ECHO have done a pretty good job.
