DayPlus 16-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw Instruction Manual

1. Important Safety Information

Operating a chainsaw can be dangerous if proper safety precautions are not followed. Always read and understand this manual before use. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, heavy-duty gloves, and appropriate footwear when operating the chainsaw.
• Secure Grip: Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands, ensuring a secure grip on the handle.
• Kickback Prevention: Be aware of kickback, which can occur when the moving chain at the tip of the guide bar contacts an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
• Work Area: Ensure your work area is clear of bystanders, especially children and pets. Keep a safe distance from other people and objects.
• Stability: Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach.
• Battery Safety: Use only the specified battery packs and charger. Do not expose batteries to water or extreme temperatures.

This chainsaw is equipped with several safety features to enhance user protection:

• Thickened Protective Board: Provides a barrier against flying debris.
• Double Safety Switch: Requires two actions to start, preventing accidental activation.
• Ergonomic Non-slip Handle: Designed for comfortable and secure handling.
• Anti-vibration Technology: Reduces user fatigue and improves control.

3. Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your chainsaw before first use. Refer to the assembly video for visual guidance.

1. Remove Pressure Plate: Use the provided tool to loosen and remove the pressure plate covering the sprocket area.
2. Mount Chain on Guide Bar: Carefully place the chainsaw chain around the guide bar. Ensure the cutting teeth are facing in the correct, clockwise direction as shown in Figure 2.
3. Install Guide Bar and Chain: Position the guide bar with the chain onto the chainsaw body, ensuring the chain engages properly with the drive sprocket.
4. Reattach Pressure Plate: Place the pressure plate back onto the chainsaw body.
5. Adjust Chain Tension (Crucial Step): Before fully tightening the pressure plate screws, you must adjust the chain tension. Loosen the lever screws slightly. Use the chain tension adjustment knob (refer to Figure 3) to achieve the correct tension. The chain should not sag but should still be able to be pulled freely around the guide bar by hand. Improper tension can damage the chainsaw.
6. Tighten Pressure Plate: Once the chain tension is correct, securely tighten the lever screws on the pressure plate.
7. Install Battery: Insert a fully charged 4.0Ah Li-ion battery pack into the battery slot until it clicks into place.

4. Operating Instructions

Oil Filling and Adjustment

The chainsaw features an automatic fuel injection lubrication system. Ensure the oil tank is filled before operation.

1. Locate Oil Filler: Identify the oil filler port on the chainsaw body.
2. Fill Oil Tank: Open the oil filler cap and fill the 50ML tank with appropriate chainsaw bar and chain oil (sold separately).
3. Adjust Oil Output: Use the slide button near the oil filler to adjust the amount of oil discharged, ensuring smooth and efficient cutting. The oil level display window helps prevent forgetting to refuel.

Starting the Chainsaw

To start the chainsaw, follow these steps:

1. Press Safety Lock Button: With a firm grip, press the safety lock button located on the handle.
2. Press Start Button: While still holding the safety lock button, press the main start button to activate the chainsaw. Do not release the lock button before pressing the start button.

Cutting Technique

The DayPlus 16-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw is designed for highly efficient cutting, capable of cutting through trees up to 15.7 inches (40 cm) in diameter with a chain speed of 13m/s.

• Maintain Control: Always keep both hands on the chainsaw handles and maintain a balanced stance.
• Let the Saw Work: Do not force the chainsaw into the wood. Allow the chain to cut at its own pace.
• Avoid Pinching: Be mindful of the wood closing in on the chain, which can cause pinching and kickback.
• Protective Barrier: The chainsaw features a widened and thickened protective barrier for added safety during operation.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your chainsaw.

• Chain Lubrication: The automatic lubrication system requires regular monitoring of the oil level. Check the oil level display window before and during operation. Refill as needed with appropriate chainsaw bar and chain oil.
• Chain Tension: Periodically check the chain tension. A chain that is too loose can derail, and a chain that is too tight can cause excessive wear and damage to the motor. Adjust as described in the Setup section.
• Cleaning: After each use, remove the battery and clean sawdust, wood chips, and debris from the guide bar, chain, sprocket area, and motor housing. Use a brush or compressed air.
• Chain Sharpening: A dull chain will reduce cutting efficiency and increase strain on the motor. Sharpen the chain regularly or replace it when necessary.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods. Charge them periodically if not in use.
• Storage: When not in use, store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. Always remove the battery pack before storing.
