5. Operating Instructions
Once assembled and charged, your Tietoc Mini Chainsaw is ready for operation. Always wear appropriate safety gear (gloves, goggles) before starting.
- Starting the Chainsaw: To start the chainsaw, simultaneously press the security lock button (usually located on the side of the handle) and the main trigger switch. Release the security lock button once the saw starts.
- Cutting Technique:
- Position the chainsaw firmly against the material to be cut.
- Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the saw through the material; let the chain do the work.
- For larger branches, make a relief cut on the underside first to prevent pinching.
- This chainsaw is optimized for small to medium-sized logs and branches, typically up to 6 inches in diameter.
- Automatic Oiling System: The chainsaw features an "automatic" oiling system, which is activated by pressing a bulb to feed oil to the bar and chain. Press this lubrication button frequently during cutting to ensure optimal performance and chain longevity.
- Stopping the Chainsaw: Release the trigger switch to stop the chainsaw.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Tietoc Mini Chainsaw.
- Chain Lubrication: As mentioned, frequently press the oiling bulb during operation. After use, ensure the oil reservoir is adequately filled for the next task.
- Chain Sharpening: A sharp chain is crucial for efficient and safe cutting. If the chain becomes dull, it can be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the chain replacement instructions if needed.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the chainsaw, especially the guide bar and chain area, to remove sawdust and debris. Use a brush or compressed air. Ensure the battery is removed before cleaning.
- Storage: Store the chainsaw in its compact ABS box in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Remove the battery before long-term storage.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not fully discharge batteries before recharging. For long-term storage, charge batteries to about 50% capacity.
