It cut through like a knife through warm butter. The chain itself was beginning to wear a bit. I have cut several without any issues. I think it too was broken or the chain was dull. I do have a couple suggestions though.

EGO Power+ CS1400 Final Thoughts
"Very easy starting."
It cut through like a knife through warm butter. But in fairness, there is no other choice. Also unwieldy when trying to thin out scrub oak. Starts easily every time hot or cold. This DOES NOT have an adjustable flow bar oiler.
