WARNING:
Confirm that the chain brake works
properly before each use.
WARNING:
If the chain brake is clogged with wood
chips, the function of the chain brake may deteriorate.
Always keep the device clean.
LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can
minimize the force of a kickback reaction by preventing
the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback
zone. Only use a replacement chain that is equivalent to
the original chain or has been certified one.
CAUTION:
As saw chains are sharpened during their
useful life, they lose some of the low kickback qualities
and extra caution should be used.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

◾
A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or
bystanders can result from one-handed operation.
◾
Avoid unintentional contact with the stationary
saw chain or guide bar rails. These can be very
sharp. Always wear gloves and long pants or chaps
when handling the chain saw, saw chain, or guide bar.
◾
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged or
improperly adjusted or that is not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain
stops moving when the trigger switch is released.
◾
Inspect the work piece for nails, wire, or other
foreign objects prior to cutting.
◾
When bucking, secure the work piece prior to
cutting. When felling or pruning, identify and
secure hazardous branches.

CORDLESS CHAIN SAW
◾
Aggressive or abusive cutting or misuse of the
chain saw can cause premature bar, chain, and/
or sprocket wear, as well as broken chain or bar,
leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of
material.
◾
Never use the guide bar as a lever. A bent guide bar
can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear,
as well as a broken chain or bar, leading to kickback,
chain throw or the ejection of material.
◾
Cut only one work piece at a time.
◾
Do not charge the battery pack in rain or in wet
locations.
◾
Plan the work, ensuring an obstacle-free work area
and, in the case of felling, at least one escape path
from the falling tree.
◾
When felling, keep bystanders at least two tree
lengths away.
◾
If situations occur which are not covered in this
manual, use care and good judgment. Contact EGO
Customer Service for assistance.

GUIDE BAR

This saw comes equipped with a guide bar that has a
small radius nose. Small radius noses generally have less
potential for kickback. When replacing the guide bar, be
sure to order the bar listed in this manual.
