Overview
Designed as a drop-in aftermarket replacement, this 14” bar and chain combo takes the guesswork out of ordering parts separately. The bar rail and chain pitch are matched at the factory, so everything lines up the first time you mount it. A practical upgrade for homeowners maintaining their own firewood saws.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 14”
- Includes: guide bar and chain (matched set)
- Material: hardened alloy bar with chrome-plated chain
Compatibility
This combo is built to work with EGO CS1400 and equivalent models that share the same bar-mount geometry. Confirm your saw’s model and year against the compatibility chart to ensure a proper fit, particularly if your saw has been updated with a different oiler setup.
Installation notes
Loosen the bar-mount nuts and slide the old assembly off. Before fitting the new bar, clear packed sawdust from the oil passage and around the drive sprocket. Place the new bar onto the studs, route the chain around the bar groove and sprocket, then adjust tension to the point where you can pull the chain around by hand with light resistance. Snug the nuts in a cross pattern.
Common questions
Q: Will this 14-inch guide bar and chain combo fit my EGO CS1400, or do I need to modify anything?
Yes, this combo is made for the EGO CS1400 and matches the 14-inch bar length that model uses. You should not need any modification as long as your saw is the CS1400 and you’re replacing the original 14-inch bar and chain setup.
Q: Do I need to sharpen the chain before installing this 14-inch bar and chain combo on my EGO CS1400?
No, the chain typically comes ready for use, so you can install it and set the correct tension before cutting. It’s still a good idea to check chain direction during installation and recheck tension after the first few minutes of operation since a new chain can stretch slightly.
Q: How do I know when the bar or chain on my EGO CS1400 should be replaced instead of just adjusted or sharpened?
If the chain no longer holds an edge, cuts crooked even after proper tensioning, or has damaged links, it’s time to replace it. For the bar, look for uneven rail wear, burrs, or excess groove wear, especially if the chain feels loose or doesn’t track smoothly even after adjustment.
