Chain Maintenance; Guide Bar Maintenance - EGO CS1400E Manual Del Usuario

◾
Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from
the guide bar groove when replacing the saw chain.
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN
WARNING:
Never touch or adjust the chain while the
motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp.
NOTICE:
When replacing the guide bar and chain, always
use the specified bar and chain combination listed in the
manual.
Disassemble the Worn Bar and Chain (Fig. Y)
1. Remove the battery, allow the saw to cool and tighten
the oil tank cap.
2. Position the chain saw on its side with the side cover
facing upwards.
3. Wear gloves. Remove the side cover by turning the
side cover knob counterclockwise. Clean the side
cover with a dry cloth.
NOTICE:
This is a good time to inspect the drive sprocket for
excessive wear or damage.
Assemble The New Bar And Chain
Follow the instructions in the ASSEMBLING/REPLACING
THE BAR AND CHAIN section in this manual.
Adjust The Chain Tension
Follow the instructions in the ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
TENSION section in this manual.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
Always wear gloves when handling the
saw chain; these components are sharp and may contain
burrs.
Use only low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast cut-
ting chain will provide kickback reduction when properly
maintained.
A properly sharpened saw chain cuts through wood effortless-
ly, even with very little pressure.
Never use a dull or damaged saw chain. A dull saw chain
cutter leads to increased physical strain, increased vibration
load, unsatisfactory cutting results and increased wear.
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be
maintained properly. The chain requires sharpening when
the wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must be
forced through the wood during cutting, or the chain cuts
to one side. During maintenance of your chain, consider
the following:
56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1400E/CS1600E
◾
Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the
risk of a severe kickback.
◾
Raker (depth gauge) clearance. Too low increases
the potential for kickback. Not low enough decreases
cutting ability.
◾
If cutter teeth have hit hard objects, such as nails and
stones, or have been abraded by mud or sand on the
wood, have the chain sharpened by a qualified service
technician.
NOTICE:
Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or damage
when replacing the chain. If signs of wear or damage are
present in the areas indicated, have the drive sprocket
replaced by qualified service technician.

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

When the guide bar shows signs of wear, reverse it on
the saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. The
bar should be cleaned every day of use and checked for
wear and damage. Feathering or burring of the bar rails
is a normal process of bar wear. Such faults should be
smoothed with a file as soon as they occur. A bar with any
of the following faults should be replaced.
◾
Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay
over sideways.
◾
Bent guide bar.
◾
Cracked or broken rails.
◾
Spread rails.
In addition, the guide bar has a sprocket at its tip
(Fig. A-20). The sprocket must be lubricated weekly with a
grease syringe to extend the guide bar life. Use a grease
syringe to lubricate weekly with chain oil by means of the
lubricating hole (Fig. A-19). Turn the guide bar and check
that the lubrication holes and chain groove are free from
impurities.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
◾
Do not store or transport the chain saw when it is
running. Always remove the battery pack before
storing or transporting.
◾
Always place the guide bar sheath on the guide bar
and chain before storing or transporting the chain saw.
Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
◾
Clean the chain saw thoroughly before storing. Store
the chain saw indoors, in a dry place that is locked
and/or inaccessible to children.
◾
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
