4. Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to prepare your chainsaw for first use. Always wear cut-resistant gloves during assembly.

4.1 Installing the Guide Bar and Chain

  1. Ensure the battery is removed from the chainsaw.
  2. Remove the chain cover by loosening the tension knob.
  3. Carefully place the chain around the guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges are facing the correct direction (refer to chain markings).
  4. Fit the chain and guide bar onto the chainsaw body, aligning the chain with the drive sprocket.
  5. Replace the chain cover and hand-tighten the tension knob.

4.2 Adjusting Chain Tension

The Goldsea chainsaw features tool-free chain tension adjustment.

  1. With the chain cover in place, rotate the tension knob clockwise to tighten the chain or counter-clockwise to loosen it.
  2. The chain is correctly tensioned when it can be pulled away from the guide bar by approximately 2-3 mm at the center, but still snaps back into place.
  3. Do not overtighten the chain, as this can cause premature wear.
