EGO CS1400E Operating Manual page 11

◾ ◾
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles
are slippery causing loss of control.
◾ ◾
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For
example: do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
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.
◾ ◾
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.
