Why my Ego Power+ Chainsaw motor does not run?

  If the Ego Power+ Chainsaw motor isn't running, make sure the battery pack is properly attached. Check and clean the contacts before reinstalling the battery. Ensure the battery is charged. If the battery or chainsaw is too hot, let them cool down. Press and hold the lock-off button before pressing the trigger. Disengage the chain brake by pulling the kickback brake handle back. Also, check if the saw chain is stuck in the wood or if there's debris in the bar groove or side cover; remove any obstructions.

  If the bar and chain of your Ego Power+ Chainsaw are running hot and smoking, the chain tension might be too tight, so re-tension the saw chain. Also, the chain oil tank could be empty, so refill it with bar and chain lubricant. Finally, there might be debris in the guide bar groove, so clear it out.

Why is my Ego Power+ CS1400 Chainsaw not cutting properly?

  Kenneth McguireAug 10, 2025
  If your Ego Power+ Chainsaw isn't cutting properly, the chain tension might be insufficient. Also, the chain could be dull. Another reason might be that the chain is installed backwards or is worn. Check the oil level, refill if necessary, because the chain might be dry or excessively stretched. Finally, the chain might not be in the bar groove.

  If the motor of your Ego Power+ Chainsaw runs but the chain doesn't rotate, it could be that the chain does not engage the drive sprocket. Reinstall the chain, ensuring the drive links are fully seated on the sprocket.

  If the chain brake on your Ego Power+ Chainsaw does not engage, it might be due to debris preventing full movement of the chain kickback brake handle. Clean any debris from the external chain brake mechanism.
