4.2 Chain and Guide Plate Installation/Adjustment

The chainsaw comes with one chain and chain plate pre-installed. If you need to replace or adjust them, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the battery is removed from the chainsaw for safety.
2. Loosen the chain adjustment knob (usually a large black knob on the side).
3. Remove the chain guard cover and the outer chain plate.
4. Carefully remove the old chain and guide bar.
5. Place the new chain around the drive sprocket, ensuring the cutting edges are facing the correct direction (refer to the diagram on the guide bar).
6. Fit the guide bar over the chain and align it with the mounting studs.
7. Reinstall the outer chain plate and chain guard cover.
8. Adjust the chain tension using the adjustment knob. The chain should be snug but still able to be pulled freely around the guide bar by hand. There should be no gap in the middle between the chain and the guide bar.
9. Tighten the chain adjustment knob securely.

5.1 Starting the Chainsaw

1. Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely installed.

3. While holding the security lock, press the power switch to start the chainsaw. Release the security lock once the chainsaw is running.

5.2 Cutting Techniques

• Always maintain a firm grip with both hands.
• Allow the chain to reach full speed before making contact with the wood.
• Apply light pressure and let the chainsaw do the work. Do not force the cut.
• For small branches, cut from the top down.
• For larger branches, make an undercut first to prevent pinching, then cut from the top.
• Be mindful of falling branches and maintain a safe distance.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Automatic Lubrication System

The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic lubrication system. Ensure the oil reservoir is filled with appropriate bar and chain oil before each use. The system will automatically lubricate the chain during operation, reducing friction and extending the life of the chain and guide bar.

6.2 Cleaning and Storage

• After each use, remove the battery.
• Clean the chainsaw, especially the chain and guide bar area, to remove sawdust, sap, and debris. You may need to remove the chain and guide bar for thorough cleaning.
• Use a soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Ensure the chainsaw is completely dry before storing.
• Store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. Always use the chain protection cover.

6.3 Chain Sharpening

Regularly inspect the chain for sharpness. A dull chain will cut slowly and inefficiently. Use the provided chain filing tool to sharpen the chain as needed, following proper sharpening techniques to maintain the correct cutting angles.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Jovant 6-inch cordless chainsaw, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Chainsaw not starting: Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly installed. Check that the security lock and power switch are engaged correctly.
• Chain not moving or moving slowly: Verify the chain tension is correct. A chain that is too tight or too loose can cause issues. Check for any obstructions or debris in the chain and guide bar area.
• Poor cutting performance: The chain may be dull. Sharpen or replace the chain as necessary. Ensure the automatic lubrication system is functioning and the oil reservoir is filled.
• Excessive vibration or noise: This could indicate improper chain tension, a damaged chain, or a loose component. Stop operation immediately and inspect the chainsaw.
