6. Operating Instructions

Before operating, ensure you have read and understood all safety instructions.

6.1 Starting the Chainsaw

• Ensure a fully charged battery is installed.
• Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.
• Press the main trigger switch and the safety lock button simultaneously to start the chainsaw.
• Once the chainsaw is running, you may release the safety lock button.

6.2 Cutting Techniques

• Pruning Branches: Position the chainsaw firmly against the branch before starting the cut. Support the branch if necessary to prevent pinching the chain.
• Wood Cutting: For cutting logs or larger pieces of wood, ensure the material is stable and cannot roll. Make small, controlled cuts.
• Garden Pruning: The lightweight design (1.16 kg) allows for comfortable one-handed operation for extended periods, making it suitable for various garden pruning tasks.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your chainsaw.

• Chain Lubrication: Regularly check the oil level and refill the automatic oiler as needed. Proper lubrication reduces friction and wear on the chain and guide bar.
• Chain Tension: Periodically check and adjust the chain tension. A properly tensioned chain should have about 0.3 cm of slack.
• Cleaning: After each use, clean the chainsaw, guide bar, and chain to remove sawdust, resin, and debris. Use the included brush for this purpose.
• Battery Care:
  • Charge batteries fully before storage and after each use.
  • Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Do not attempt to open or repair damaged batteries.
• Chain Sharpening/Replacement: A dull chain will reduce cutting efficiency and increase strain on the motor. Sharpen the chain as needed or replace it with a new one.
