The following combinations are recommended for model CS-400F.
Use of replacement saw chain and/or guide bar other than that specified, or operation without the
“tip guard” in place, may cause severe kickback resulting in serious injury.Only use saw chain
designated as, “LOW-KICKBACK,” that meets ANSI B175.1 or CSA Z62.1, .3 Standard when tested
on the representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 C.I.D., and Echo guide bar specified.
Chain and guide bar gauge size must be identical. Use Bar/Chain combinations shown in table above.
