Once the chainsaw is assembled and the battery is charged, you can begin operation:
- Starting the Chainsaw: To start the chainsaw, you must simultaneously press and hold the safety lock button (located near the trigger) and then press the main switch button (trigger). Releasing the safety lock or trigger will stop the chainsaw.

- Anti-Splash Baffle: Adjust the 90-degree baffle as needed to direct wood chips away from you and your work area.
7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your chainsaw:
- Chain Lubrication: Regularly apply lubricating oil to the chain to reduce friction and wear. This is essential for smooth cutting and extending chain life.
- Chain Sharpening: A dull chain will reduce cutting efficiency and put strain on the motor. Sharpen the chain as needed or replace it with a new one.
- Cleaning: After each use, remove the battery and clean the chainsaw body, guide plate, and chain. Use a brush to remove wood chips and debris. Ensure the heat dissipation vents are clear.
- Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging the battery before recharging. The battery features over-charged protection. A full charge typically takes 25-30 minutes.
- Storage: When not in use, cover the chain with the sword sheath and store the chainsaw in its cloth bag or hard case to protect it from dust and damage.
