4. Assembly & Setup
4.1 Chainsaw Assembly
- Ensure the chain cutter teeth are oriented correctly for cutting.
- Adjust the fixing pillars of the cover plate to the middle position.
- When installing the cover plate, ensure that the chain and guide plate are in a tightened state.
- Press down on the cover plate and rotate the adjustment nut clockwise, observing the fixed position until the fixing pillars align with the fixing holes.
- Continue to rotate the knob to allow a 0.3cm gap between the blades.
- Install and tighten the retaining nut to secure the blade.
4.2 Attaching to Extension Pole
The chainsaw unit can be easily attached to the extension pole for increased reach. Align the connection points on the chainsaw unit with the pole and secure them using the locking mechanism. Ensure a firm connection before operation.

4.3 Battery Installation
Slide the 21V 3Ah Lithium-Ion battery into the battery slot on the tool until it clicks securely into place. To remove, press the release button and slide the battery out.
5. Operation
5.1 Chainsaw Use
Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. Ensure a stable footing. Press the safety button and then the trigger to start the saw. Allow the chain to reach full speed before engaging with the material to be cut. Apply steady, even pressure. The 8-inch high hardness chain is designed for quick and clean cuts.

5.2 Pole Saw Use
For overhead work, attach the chainsaw unit to the extension pole. The pole extends from 5.5 ft to 8.7 ft, providing a maximum reach of up to 14.7 ft (based on a 6-foot tall person). The multi-angle cutting head can be adjusted to different directions (0°-90°-180°) for optimal cutting angles. Always maintain a safe distance from the cutting area and ensure the pole is securely locked at the desired length and angle.
5.3 Lubrication System
The electric pole saw is equipped with an upgraded lubrication system. Fill the oil reservoir with appropriate chain oil. Press the oil bubble periodically during operation to ensure the chain remains perfectly lubricated. This extends the life of the chainsaw and ensures smooth, effective cutting.

5.4 Chain Tension Adjustment
The tool features a tool-free chain tension system. To adjust, loosen the cover counter-clockwise, then twist the knob to adjust the gap between the chain and the blade to 0.3cm. Tighten the cover clockwise to secure.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
After each use, remove the battery and clean the tool. Brush off any sawdust, debris, and residue from the chain, guide bar, and motor housing. Ensure ventilation openings are clear. Use a soft cloth for general cleaning.
6.2 Chain Sharpening
Regularly check the sharpness of the chain. A dull chain can reduce cutting efficiency and increase strain on the motor. Sharpen the cutting edges of each tooth using a suitable file, maintaining the correct angle as specified in the chain's documentation.
6.3 Lubrication
Keep the chain and guide bar well-lubricated. Check the oil reservoir before each use and refill as needed. Proper lubrication is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the chain and motor.
7. Troubleshooting
- Tool not starting: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly installed. Check that the safety button is pressed before the trigger.
- Reduced cutting performance: The chain may be dull or improperly tensioned. Sharpen the chain or adjust its tension as described in the maintenance section. Ensure sufficient lubrication.
- Overheating: Allow the tool to cool down if it becomes excessively hot. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Avoid continuous heavy-duty use without breaks.
- Chain coming off: This is often due to incorrect chain tension. Adjust the chain tension to the recommended 0.3cm gap.
