Setup
- Battery Charging: Fully charge the lithium battery before first use. Connect the charger to the battery and a power outlet. The indicator light will show charging status. A full charge typically takes 1-2 hours.
- Chain Installation:
- Unscrew the knob to open the lid covering the guide plate.
- Carefully place the chain onto the guide plate, ensuring the cutting direction is correct (refer to markings on the chain and guide plate).
- Install the guide plate with the chain, holding both steady.
- Replace the lid and screw the knob back. Do not overtighten initially.
- Pull the chain slightly to check its tightness. The chain should have a slack of 2-3mm from the guide plate.
- Tighten the knob once the chain tension is correct.
- Lubrication: Apply a few drops of chainsaw chain oil (not included) to the chain before each use and periodically during operation to ensure smooth cutting and prevent wear.

Maintenance
- Chain Lubrication: As noted in setup, regularly apply chain oil to keep the chain running smoothly and extend its life.
- Chain Sharpening: A dull chain reduces cutting efficiency and increases strain on the motor. Sharpen the chain as needed or replace it.
- Cleaning: After each use, remove debris and sawdust from the chainsaw body, guide bar, and chain. Use a dry cloth or soft brush. Do not use water or harsh chemicals.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not expose them to extreme temperatures. Charge them fully before long-term storage.
