5. Operating Instructions

Before operating, ensure you have read and understood the safety information and completed the setup steps.

Starting and Stopping:

• To start the chainsaw, press the safety lock button (usually located near the trigger) and then squeeze the trigger.
• Release the trigger to stop the chainsaw.

Cutting Techniques:

• Branch Cutting: Position the chainsaw firmly against the branch. Apply steady, even pressure. Allow the saw to do the work; do not force it.
• Woodworking: For general woodworking, ensure the material is stable. The 6-inch cutting surface allows for cutting thicker materials than smaller models.
• Anti-Splash Baffle: The integrated anti-splash baffle helps protect the user from debris during operation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Saker Mini Chainsaw.

Chain Care:

• Lubrication: Apply lubricating oil to the chain before and during prolonged use to reduce friction and wear.
• Sharpening/Replacement: If the chain becomes dull or damaged, sharpen it or replace it with one of the provided spare chains. Refer to the 'Setup and Assembly' section for chain installation.
• Tension Check: Regularly check chain tension. A loose chain can derail, while an overtightened chain can cause excessive wear on the motor and guide bar.

Battery Care:

• Charging: Always use the original charger. Do not overcharge.
• Storage: If not used for a long time, fully charge the battery before storing it in a cool, dry place.
• Over-Temperature Protection: The battery features over-temperature protection. If the battery or motor gets hot, allow it to cool down before continuing use or charging.
