Safety Instructions
Always prioritize safety when operating power tools. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.
- Read the Entire Manual: Understand all warnings, operating procedures, and maintenance instructions before use.
- Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety goggles, cut-resistant gloves, and appropriate clothing. Hearing protection is also recommended.
- Maintain a Secure Grip: Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands during operation.
- Clear Work Area: Ensure the work area is free of obstructions, bystanders, and pets.
- Avoid Accidental Starts: The chainsaw features a security lock button that must be pressed simultaneously with the start button to operate. This prevents unintentional activation.
- Safety Baffle and Hand Guard: The integrated safety baffle and hand guard are designed to reduce the risk of wood chips and debris splashing towards the user. Do not remove or modify these components.
- Battery Safety: Use only the provided charger and batteries. Do not expose batteries to extreme temperatures or moisture. Fully charge batteries before extended storage.
- Inspect Before Each Use: Check the chain for sharpness and tension, ensure the guide bar is secure, and verify the oil reservoir is adequately filled.
Setup
1. Battery Charging
Before first use, fully charge both 2000mAh batteries using the provided quick charger. The charging time is approximately 1.5-2 hours per battery.

2. Chain and Guide Bar Installation
If the chain and guide bar are not pre-installed, follow these general steps. Refer to the detailed diagram for visual guidance:
- Rotate the side cover knob counter-clockwise to loosen and remove the side cover.
- Place the chain around the guide bar, ensuring the cutting teeth face the correct direction.
- Fit the chain and guide bar onto the chainsaw body, aligning the chain with the drive sprocket.
- Replace the side cover and hand-tighten the knob.
- Adjust chain tension using the top screw, aiming for a 1-3mm gap between the chain and guide bar. The chain should be snug but still able to move freely.
- Tighten the side cover knob clockwise securely.

3. Auto Oiler System
The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic chain lubrication system. Before operation, fill the oil tank with appropriate chain lubricant.
- Locate the oil tank cap on the chainsaw body.
- Unscrew the cap and carefully pour chain lubricant into the tank. Do not overfill (maximum 30ml).
- Securely replace the oil tank cap.

Operating Instructions
1. Starting the Chainsaw
To start the chainsaw, simultaneously press the security lock button and the start button. Release the security lock button once the chainsaw is running, but keep the start button pressed during operation.
2. Cutting Procedure
Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. Position the guide bar against the material to be cut. Apply steady, even pressure. Allow the chainsaw to do the work; do not force it. The 700W motor provides a chain speed of 29.8 ft/s, capable of cutting a 6-inch diameter log in approximately 8 seconds, depending on wood hardness.

3. Auto Oiler Function
During operation, the automatic oiler system will continuously lubricate the chain and guide bar. Periodically check the oil level in the reservoir and refill as needed to ensure consistent lubrication and reduce wear.

Maintenance
1. Chain Lubrication
Regular lubrication is crucial for chain longevity and cutting efficiency. Ensure the auto oiler reservoir is always filled with appropriate chain oil. Check the oil level before each use and during extended operation.
2. Chain Tension Adjustment
Periodically check chain tension. A properly tensioned chain should be snug against the guide bar but still allow you to pull it around the bar by hand. Adjust using the tensioning screw as described in the Setup section (1-3mm gap).
3. Cleaning
After each use, disconnect the battery and clean the chainsaw. Remove sawdust, wood chips, and debris from the guide bar, chain, and motor housing. Use a soft brush or cloth. Do not use water directly on electrical components.
4. Battery Storage
For extended periods of non-use, fully charge the batteries before storing them in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain battery health and extends their overall lifespan.
