• Battery Compartment: Houses the 20V battery.
• Extension Pole: Connects to the chainsaw head for extended reach.

• Double Locking Mechanism: Enhances safety during use.

5. Setup

5.1 Battery Charging

1. Insert the 20V battery into the charger.
2. Plug the charger into a standard power outlet.
3. Allow the battery to charge fully before first use. The charger indicator light will typically change color when charging is complete.

5.2 Chain and Guide Bar Installation (if not pre-assembled)

1. Ensure the battery is removed from the chainsaw unit.
2. Remove the chain cover.
3. Place the chain around the guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges are facing the correct direction.
4. Fit the guide bar and chain onto the chainsaw unit, aligning the chain with the sprocket.
5. Replace the chain cover and secure it.

5.3 Lubrication System Setup

The tool features an automatic lubrication system to reduce friction and extend lifespan.

1. Locate the oil reservoir cap on the chainsaw unit.
2. Unscrew the cap and fill the reservoir with appropriate chain lubricant (not included).
3. Replace the cap securely.
4. Before initial use and periodically during operation, press the lubrication button 3-4 times to ensure the chain is adequately oiled.

5.4 Chain Tension Adjustment

Proper chain tension is crucial for safe and efficient operation. The tool includes a built-in tension lock to prevent chain slippage.

1. Ensure the battery is removed.
2. Use the provided tensioning tool to adjust the chain tension. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand.
3. Refer to the diagram on the tool for visual guidance on tensioning.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 General Operation

1. Insert a fully charged battery into the chainsaw unit until it clicks into place.
2. To start the tool, press the safety lock button and then squeeze the trigger. Release the safety lock once the tool is running.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger.

6.2 Using as a Mini Chainsaw

For cutting wood and trimming low bushes, use the chainsaw unit without the extension pole.

• Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.
• Ensure a stable stance.
• Allow the chain to reach full speed before engaging the material.
• Cut with a smooth, controlled motion.

6.3 Using as a Cordless Pole Saw

For trimming high branches, attach the extension pole.

1. Ensure the battery is removed.
2. Connect the extension pole(s) to the chainsaw unit and secure them firmly.
3. Insert the battery.
4. Adjust the saw head to one of the 7 available angles (-45°, -22.5°, 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, 90°) to suit the branch you are cutting.
5. Maintain a safe distance from the cutting area. The pole saw can reach up to 14 feet (based on a 6' person holding the pole at shoulder height, 60 degrees from the ground).
6. Start the saw and allow the chain to reach full speed before making contact with the branch.
7. Use a controlled, steady motion to cut through the branch. Avoid twisting or forcing the saw.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Always remove the battery before cleaning.
• Clean the tool after each use. Remove sawdust, debris, and sap from the guide bar, chain, and motor housing.
• Use a soft brush or compressed air. Do not use water or harsh chemicals.

7.2 Lubrication

• Regularly check the oil level in the reservoir. Refill as needed.
• Ensure the automatic lubrication system is functioning by pressing the button periodically during operation.

7.3 Chain Care

• Inspect the chain for sharpness and damage before each use.
• A dull chain will cut slowly and can cause kickback. Sharpen or replace the chain as necessary.
• Ensure the chain tension is correct. Adjust using the tensioning tool if the chain is too loose or too tight.

7.4 Battery Care

• Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Do not store batteries in a discharged state. Charge them fully before storage.
• Do not expose batteries to water or moisture.
