with proper volume of chain oil.
1. Hold the guide bar above a light colored surface.
2. Switch on the saw. You will see a clear line of oil
on the light colored surface after 1 minute, if Chain
lubrication is operating properly.
3. If chain oil is still not visible on the light colored
surface, Refer to the section "ADJUSTING OIL-
FLOW" to adjust it
OPERATING IN THE TREE
WARNING:
When working or climbing, it is recommend
to use the additional support , such as foot stirrup, adjustable
lanyard to prevent a swing or a cutting accident.
Brefore using it , please check following points:
◾
Check the wear marks on the chain sprocket, If wear
marks are deeper than 0.5 mm: contact your EGO
servicing dealerto replace the chain sprocket.
◾
Also check the braking system , if wear marks on the
brake lining are uneven, contact your EGO servicing
dealer to replace the brake lining must be replaced
(Fig. T).

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
◾
After each use, clean debris from the chain and guide
bar with a soft brush. Wipe the chain saw surface with
a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
◾
For deep clearing, remove the side cover assembly, take
down the guide bar and saw chain and then use a soft
brush to thoroughly remove debris from the guide bar, saw
chain, and the drive sprocket on the chain saw power head.
◾
Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from
the guide bar groove when replacing the saw chain.
REMOVE DUST
1. Disconnect the power plug, allow the chain saw to
cool and tighten the oil-tank cap.
2. Engage the saw brake
3. Use combi-wrench (provided) to loosen the screw of
dust removal cover to open it (Fig. U1).
4. Clean up the sawdust and chips accumulated in the
cooling fin by using compressed dry air, blow it from
the opposite side air inlet (Fig. U2).
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, disassemble
it from the chain saw power head and reverse it for
reassembly (Fig.V1), in which case it will distribute the
wear for maximum bar life.
The bar should be cleaned (including bar rails and
lubricating hole every day of use and checked for wear
and damage (Fig. V2). 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.
The guide bar has a sprocket at its tip. The sprocket must be
lubricated weekly with a grease syringe to extend the guide
bar life (Fig. V3 & V4). Turn the nose sprocket while pumping
the translucent yellow, translucent red or translucent
grease into the lubricating hole until the entire sprocket has
new grease. Do not push dirt into the hole.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Use only low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast
cutting chain will provide kickback reduction when
properly maintained.
