Echo DCS-3500T top-handle saw

ECHO DCS-3500T is a lightweight and powerful top-handle saw for professional arborists. It offers excellent performance and control for pruning and tree felling.

ECHO DCS-3500T is a next-generation X-Series top-handle saw for tree professionals who demand high performance and reliability. As one of the lightest felling saws in its class, it excels at take-downs, pruning and other arborist tasks, offering market-leading performance and control in the cut. Tool-free service, advanced ergonomics and updated safety systems make it the ultimate choice for arborists. It is designed for several different configurations and can be used with both short and long guide bars as well as different battery types, allowing the user to choose the right balance between weight and power for each job.

Lightweight performance with outstanding control

Despite its ultra-low dry weight of only 2.2 kg (excluding guide bar, chain and battery), the DCS-3500T delivers impressive power. A fine-tuned torque system reduces the risk of the saw stalling and provides a better feel in the cut, giving professionals the confidence to handle even heavy felling work with precision and ease. The combination of lightweight construction and high output power reduces fatigue and increases productivity during longer working sessions.

Advanced safety and service features

Developed in close collaboration with arborists and after extensive field testing, the DCS-3500T is packed with innovations: an expansion chamber in the oil tank that prevents oil leakage during storage, larger updated dogs for precise cuts, a chain catcher without play that prevents ropes from catching, and an adjustable oil pump with top access for fine-tuned lubrication. A transparent oil tank makes it easy to check the level, while captive nuts and a side chain tensioner allow quick and safe adjustments without hassle.

Built for versatility and ergonomics

Whether you are pruning high up in the tree crown or working on full tree felling, the DCS-3500T adapts smoothly to the task. The flexible configuration supports both powerful and lightweight battery solutions and can be used with guide bars of 30–40 cm. At the heart of the ergonomic design is a one-finger throttle lockout system that provides unmatched safety and ease in all working positions. Additional details such as the grooved handle with integrated thumb and wrist support and the patented diagonal handle with carabiner for a saw lanyard contribute to even better control and comfort throughout the work.
