GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power

tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY



Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.



Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.



Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY



Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock



Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.



Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.



Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.



When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.



If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

Ground-fault circuit interrupter protected supply. Use of GFCI reduces the

risk of electric shock.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS16008

PERSONAL SAFETY



Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired

or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.



Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.



Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the off-

position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or

energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.



Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in

personal injury.



Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.



Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.



If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and

collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE



Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.



Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.



Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1600 9



Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.



Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.



Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.



Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with

these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the

work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE



Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger

that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used

with another battery pack.



Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of

any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.



When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal

objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal

objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.



Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;

avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE



Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS160010

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS



Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw

is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure that the saw

chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating

chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chain.



Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and

your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed

hand conguration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.



Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the

saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live”

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the

operator an electric shock.



Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective

equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate

protective clothing will reduce personal injury by ying debris or accidental

contact with the saw chain.



Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a

tree may result in personal injury.



Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when

standing on xed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces

such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.



When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When

the tension in the wood bers is released the spring loaded limb may strike the

operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.



Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material

may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.



Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off

and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw

always t the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce

the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.



Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing

accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or

increase the chance for kickback.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1600 11



Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles

are slippery and cause 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 a 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.



Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:

BATTERY PACK CHARGER

BA1120, BA1400, BA2240

BA2800, BA4200



Do not charge the battery pack in rain or in wet locations.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS160012



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.

CAUSES AND OPERATOR

PREVENTION OF KICKBACK

(Fig. 1, 2, 3 & 4)

Kickback may occur when the nose

or tip of the guide bar touches an

object, or when the wood closes in

and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause

a sudden reverse reaction, kicking

the guide bar up and back towards

the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top

of the guide bar may push the guide

bar rapidly back towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause

you to lose control of the saw, which

could result in serious personal injury.

Do not rely exclusively upon the

safety devices built into your saw.

As a chain saw user, you should take

several steps to keep your cutting

jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool

misuse and/or incorrect operating

procedures or conditions and can be

avoided by taking proper precautions

as given below:

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1600 13



Maintain a rm grip, with

thumbs and ngers encircling

the chain saw handles, with

both hands on the saw and

position your body and arm to

allow you to resist kickback

forces (Fig. 4). Kickback forces

can be controlled by the operator, if

proper precautions are taken. Do not

let go of the chain saw.



Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent

unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected

situations.



Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer.

Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.



Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the

saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.



Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from

obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence,

or any other obstruction that could be hit while you are operating the saw.



Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze the switch

trigger and maintain cutting speed.



With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the

element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.



Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS160014



Push and Pull – The reaction force

is always opposite to the direction

the chain is moving where wood

contact is made. Thus, the operator

must be ready to control the PULL

when cutting on the bottom edge of

the bar, and the PUSH when cutting

along the top edge. See Figure 5.

KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON

THIS CHAIN SAW

Chain Brake

The chain saw comes equipped with

a chain brake, which stops both the

motor and the motion of the chain when

kickback occurs. The chain brake can be

activated by the forward motion of the

chain kickback brake handle as the saw

rotates backward during kickback; it can

also be activated by the inertial forces generated during rapid pushback.

WARNING

: Never modify or attempt to disable the chain brake.

Make sure that the chain brake is working properly before using the chain saw. The

chain kickback brake handle should move back and forth easily.

To test the operation of the chain brake,

perform the following steps (Fig. 6):



Place the chain saw on a at bare

surface and make sure no objects

or obstructions that could come in

contact with the bar and chain are

in the immediate vicinity.



Disengage the chain brake by

pulling the chain kickback brake

handle towards the front handle.



Start the chain saw.



Push the chain kickback brake handle towards the front of the saw. A properly

functioning hand brake will stop the movement of the chain immediately. If the

chain brake is not working properly, do not use the chain saw until it has been

repaired by a qualied service technician.

WARNING: Conrm 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 certied as a

low kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a chain that has

met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 (American National Standard

for Power Tools - Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws-Safety Requirements) when tested on

the representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 c.i.d. specied in ANSI B175.1.

CAUTION: As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some

of the low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used.

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.
