Setup

Battery Installation and Charging

Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use. The 88F Li-ion battery typically requires approximately 2 hours for a full charge, providing up to 60 minutes of working time. The battery features a power display to monitor charge level and includes built-in protections against over-voltage, over-temperature, overload, and over-charge.

1. To install the battery, align it with the battery slot on the chainsaw handle and slide it in until it clicks securely into place.
2. To remove, press the release button on the battery and slide it out.
3. Charge the battery using the provided charger in a well-ventilated area.

Chain and Guide Bar Installation

Proper installation of the chain and guide bar is crucial for safe and effective operation. Refer to the video below for a visual guide.

1. Remove the Cover: Use the provided wrench to loosen the nuts on the side cover and remove it.
2. Position the Guide Bar: Place the guide bar onto the studs, ensuring it sits correctly.
3. Install the Chain: Carefully loop the chain around the drive sprocket and then along the guide bar. Ensure the cutting edges of the chain teeth are facing the correct direction (away from the chainsaw body on the top side of the bar). Refer to the diagram in the video for correct chain direction.
4. Replace the Cover: Reinstall the side cover, aligning the chain adjustment knob with the screw hole.
5. Install the Screws: Hand-tighten the nuts to hold the cover in place, but do not fully tighten yet.
6. Adjust Chain Tension: Rotate the chain adjustment knob clockwise to tighten the chain until it is snug but can still be pulled freely by hand. The chain should not sag from the bottom of the guide bar.
7. Final Tightening: Once the tension is correct, fully tighten the nuts with the wrench.

Adding Lubricating Oil

The chainsaw features an automatic lubrication system. Ensure the oil reservoir is filled with appropriate chain oil before each use to maintain optimal chain performance and prevent wear. Refer to the video above for visual instructions.

1. Locate the oil port on the top of the chainsaw body.
2. Unscrew the oil cap.
3. Carefully pour suitable chain lubricant into the reservoir until it is full. Avoid overfilling.
4. Securely replace the oil cap.

Operating Instructions

Starting and Stopping

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including the provided gloves, before operating the chainsaw.

2. To Stop: Release the trigger. The chain will stop immediately. Always release the trigger when moving between cuts or when not actively cutting.

Cutting Techniques

Always maintain a firm grip and stable stance. Let the chainsaw do the work; do not force it through the wood.

• Felling Small Trees: For trees up to the length of the guide bar, make a notch cut on the side of the tree in the direction of the fall, then make a felling cut from the opposite side, slightly above the notch.
• Limbing: Remove branches from a fallen tree. Work from the base of the tree towards the top, cutting smaller branches first. Be aware of branches under tension.
• Bucking: Cutting a fallen log into sections. Support the log to prevent pinching the guide bar. If cutting a log on the ground, cut about two-thirds of the way through, then roll the log and finish the cut from the other side.
• Pruning: For live branches, make an undercut first to prevent bark stripping, then make the main cut. Avoid cutting above shoulder height.

Maintenance

Chain Tension Adjustment

Regularly check and adjust chain tension. A properly tensioned chain extends chain life and ensures safe operation. Refer to the setup video for visual guidance on chain adjustment.

1. Ensure the chainsaw is off and the battery is removed.
2. Loosen the nuts on the side cover slightly with the wrench.
3. Rotate the chain adjustment knob: clockwise to tighten the chain, counter-clockwise to loosen it.
4. The chain is correctly tensioned when it is snug against the guide bar but can still be pulled freely by hand. There should be no significant sag on the underside of the guide bar.
5. Once tension is set, fully tighten the nuts on the side cover.

Cleaning and Storage

• Cleaning: After each use, remove the battery and clean the chainsaw. Use a brush or compressed air to remove sawdust, chips, and debris from the motor housing, guide bar, and chain. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth.
• Chain Maintenance: Keep the chain sharp. A dull chain can cause kickback and reduce cutting efficiency. Sharpen or replace the chain as needed.
• Storage: Store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location out of reach of children. Ensure the guide bar cover is in place. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods.
