5. Setup

5.1 Charging the Battery

1. Connect the charger to a standard power outlet.
2. Insert the battery into the charger. The indicator light on the charger will show the charging status.
3. Allow the battery to fully charge before first use. A full charge typically takes [X hours - specific time not provided, assume standard].
4. Disconnect the battery once fully charged. For optimal battery life, fully charge the battery before storing it for extended periods.

5.2 Installing the Chain and Guide Bar

Ensure the battery is removed before performing any assembly or maintenance.

1. Remove the side cover of the chainsaw by loosening the retaining nut with the provided wrench.
2. Place the guide bar onto the mounting studs.
3. Carefully fit the chain around the sprocket and into the groove of the guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges face the correct direction (refer to markings on the chain).
4. Replace the side cover and hand-tighten the retaining nut. Do not fully tighten yet.

5.3 Adjusting Chain Tension

Correct chain tension is crucial for safe and efficient operation.

1. While holding the tip of the guide bar up, adjust the chain tensioning screw (usually located on the side cover) until the chain fits snugly against the guide bar.
2. The chain should be tight enough that you cannot pull the drive links out of the guide bar nose, but loose enough to be pulled around the guide bar by hand without binding.
3. Once tension is set, fully tighten the retaining nut with the wrench.

5.4 Lubrication

Regular lubrication of the chain is essential for smooth operation and to prevent premature wear. Fill the provided oil bottle with appropriate chainsaw bar and chain oil (not included).

• Apply a small amount of oil directly to the chain and guide bar before each use and periodically during extended operation.

6. Operation

Always ensure you have read and understood the safety instructions before operating the chainsaw.

1. Insert Battery: Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted into the chainsaw's battery port.
2. Grip: Hold the chainsaw firmly with one hand on the ergonomic handle.
3. Start: Press the safety lock button with your thumb, then simultaneously press the power trigger to start the chain. Release the safety lock once the chain is running.
4. Cutting: Allow the chain to reach full speed before making contact with the material. Apply gentle, steady pressure. Do not force the chainsaw through the cut.
5. Stopping: Release the power trigger to stop the chain.
6. One-Hand Operation: This mini chainsaw is designed for comfortable one-hand use, making it suitable for light pruning tasks. Always maintain control and stability.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your chainsaw.

• Cleaning: After each use, remove the battery and clean the chainsaw, guide bar, and chain with a brush or cloth to remove sawdust and debris.
• Chain Sharpening: A dull chain reduces cutting efficiency and increases kickback risk. Sharpen the chain regularly or replace it when necessary. Refer to a professional if unsure.
• Chain Tension: Periodically check and adjust chain tension, especially after initial use and during extended operation.
• Lubrication: Keep the chain and guide bar adequately lubricated with appropriate bar and chain oil.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. If not used for a long time, fully charge the battery before storage to maintain its health.
