4.2 Chain Assembly and Tensioning
The chainsaw comes pre-assembled. If you need to replace the chain or adjust its tension, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Ensure proper chain assembly alignment before changing the chain.
- Step 2: Fit the chain to the guide plate for replacement and installation.
- Step 3: Next, align the holes and fit the cover.
- Step 4: Adjust the chain tension by rotating the round gear (clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen). The chain should be snug but still able to be pulled freely around the bar by hand.
- Step 5: Rotate the triangular button to tighten the cover clockwise.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Starting the Chainsaw
- Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted into the chainsaw.
- Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.
- Press the safety lock button with your thumb.
- While holding the safety lock, press the trigger to start the chainsaw. Release the safety lock once the chainsaw is running.
5.2 Cutting Techniques
The Goldsea Mini Chainsaw is designed for efficient cutting of various wood types. Always ensure the chain is sharp and properly lubricated before cutting.
- General Cutting: Apply steady, even pressure. Allow the chainsaw to do the work; do not force it through the material.
- Log Cutting: For logs up to 8 inches, the chainsaw can cut through in approximately 10 seconds, depending on wood hardness. Ensure the log is stable and elevated if possible.
- Branch Trimming: Support the branch to prevent it from pinching the chain. Make relief cuts if necessary for larger branches.
- One-Handed Operation: While designed for one-handed use for portability, always prioritize safety and use two hands for better control, especially for larger or tougher cuts.

6.1 Chain Lubrication
The chainsaw features an automatic oiling system to reduce friction and prolong chain life. Ensure the oil reservoir is filled with appropriate bar and chain oil before each use.
- Locate the oil filling port on the chainsaw.
- Carefully pour bar and chain oil into the reservoir until full. Do not overfill.
- Monitor oil levels during operation and refill as needed.
