• Work Area: Ensure the work area is clear of bystanders, especially children and pets. Keep the area well-lit and free from clutter.

Attach the chain guard to the chainsaw using the provided screwdriver. Ensure it is securely fastened to protect your hands during operation.

4.3. Adding Lubricating Oil

4.4. Adjusting Chain Tension

Proper chain tension is crucial for safe and efficient cutting. The chainsaw features an adjustment mechanism. Turn the adjustment knob to tighten or loosen the chain. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on tension adjustment.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Starting the Chainsaw

Insert a fully charged battery into the chainsaw. To start, press the safety lock button with your thumb and simultaneously squeeze the trigger. Release the safety lock button once the chain starts moving.

5.2. Cutting Techniques

Always maintain a firm grip on the chainsaw. For optimal cutting, allow the chain to reach full speed before engaging the wood. Apply steady, moderate pressure. Avoid forcing the saw, as this can lead to kickback or damage to the tool. For branches, cut from the top down to prevent pinching the blade. For larger logs, make a relief cut on the underside first.
