4. Safety Instructions

Always prioritize safety when operating power tools. Read and understand all instructions before use.

4.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Always wear the provided safety goggles to protect your eyes from sawdust and debris.
• Wear the provided anti-cut gloves to protect your hands.
• Wear appropriate clothing, including long pants and sturdy, non-slip footwear. Avoid loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the chain.
• Consider hearing protection, especially during prolonged use.

4.2 Chainsaw Safety Features

• Security Lock: The chainsaw is equipped with a security lock to prevent accidental activation. Both the security lock and the start button must be pressed simultaneously to operate the tool.
• Safety Baffles: A chain baffle is integrated to help prevent wood chips and debris from splashing towards the user.
• Anti-slip Handle: The handle features an anti-slip texture to ensure a firm and secure grip during operation.

4.3 General Safety Guidelines

• Keep bystanders, children, and pets at a safe distance (at least 10 feet) from the work area.
• Ensure your work area is clear of obstacles and well-lit.
• Never operate the chainsaw when fatigued, under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Inspect the chainsaw for any damage or loose parts before each use. Do not use if damaged.
• Always maintain a firm grip on the chainsaw with both hands.
• Avoid cutting above shoulder height.
• Be aware of kickback. Avoid the tip of the guide bar contacting any object.
• Remove the battery when not in use, before cleaning, or when performing maintenance.

5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation & Charging

1. Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use. Connect the charger to a power outlet and then to the battery. The battery has a charge level indicator.
2. To install the battery, align it with the battery slot on the chainsaw handle and slide it firmly into place until it clicks.
3. To remove the battery, press the release button (if present) and slide the battery out.

5.2 Chain Installation (If not pre-installed)

Refer to the diagram below for component identification.

1. Ensure the battery is removed.
2. Loosen the rotary button/nut securing the chain cover and remove the cover.
3. Carefully place the chain around the guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges are facing the correct direction.
4. Fit the chain and guide bar onto the chainsaw body, ensuring the chain engages with the drive sprocket.
5. Replace the chain cover and tighten the rotary button/nut. Ensure the chain tension is appropriate – it should be snug but still able to be pulled freely by hand.

5.3 Lubrication System Setup

The chainsaw features an automatic oiling system that requires manual priming.

1. Locate the oil pot on the chainsaw.
2. Add the appropriate amount of universal saw chain oil into the reservoir using the provided oil bottle. Do not overfill.
3. Tighten the cap of the oil pot securely.
4. Before and during operation, press the cap of the oil pot (the bulb) to feed oil to the bar and chain.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Starting the Chainsaw

1. Ensure all safety precautions are followed and PPE is worn.
2. With a firm two-hand grip, press the security lock button (protection switch).
3. While holding the security lock, press the power switch (start button) to activate the chainsaw.
4. Release the security lock once the chainsaw is running.

6.2 Cutting Technique

• This chainsaw is best suited for cutting small logs and large branches up to 6 inches in diameter.
• Position yourself securely and maintain balance.
• Allow the chainsaw to reach full speed before engaging the wood.
• Apply light, steady pressure. Let the saw do the work. Do not force the chain through the wood.
• Be mindful of the cutting direction and potential kickback.
• For branches under tension, cut from the compression side first to prevent pinching.

6.3 Automatic Oiling During Operation

To ensure optimal performance and extend the life of the chain and guide bar, frequently press the lubrication button (oil pot cap) during cutting to supply oil to the chain.

7. Maintenance

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

7.1 Cleaning

• Always remove the battery before cleaning.
• Use a brush or compressed air to remove sawdust and debris from the motor housing, chain, and guide bar.
• Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.

7.2 Chain Lubrication

• Regularly check the oil reservoir and refill with universal saw chain oil as needed.
• Ensure the chain is adequately lubricated by pressing the oil pot cap frequently during use.

7.3 Chain and Guide Bar Inspection

• Inspect the chain for sharpness, damage, or excessive wear. Replace dull or damaged chains promptly.
• Check the guide bar for burrs or wear. Flip the guide bar periodically to ensure even wear.
• Ensure proper chain tension. A loose chain can derail, and an overly tight chain can cause premature wear and overheating.

7.4 Battery Care

• Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods. Charge them periodically.
• The battery features self-overload and temperature protection for longer life.

8. Troubleshooting

9. User Tips

• Optimal Use: This mini chainsaw excels at tasks involving middle-sized logs and large branches that are too small for a full-sized chainsaw but too large for manual tools.
• Frequent Oiling: The "automatic" oiling system requires you to manually press the bulb on the oil pot frequently during cutting. Do not rely on it to self-oil like larger chainsaws. Consistent lubrication is crucial for performance and chain life.
• Battery Management: Keep an eye on the battery charge level indicator. Having a second charged battery (if you purchased the 2-battery kit) can significantly extend your work time without interruption.
• Accessory Compatibility: While this model is designed for specific tasks, always check with the manufacturer or seller for compatible accessories like extension poles if you require additional reach.
