4.3 Mini Chainsaw
The 6-inch mini chainsaw features a 650W high-powered brushless motor, delivering an ultra-high chain speed of 26 ft/sec. This allows it to cut a 6-inch diameter log in approximately 8 seconds. Before operation, ensure the chain is properly lubricated via the external oil system. Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands and maintain a stable stance. Always be aware of potential kickback.

4.4 Extension Pole Use
The telescopic extension pole extends from 3.3 ft to 6 ft, providing a total reach of up to 12 ft when combined with the tool and user's height. This allows for pruning high branches without the need for ladders. To adjust the pole length, unlock the clamps, extend or retract the sections to the desired length, and then securely lock the clamps. Always ensure the tool is firmly attached to the pole before use. Exercise caution when operating overhead and maintain a safe distance from power lines.
