Maintenance

• Chain Care: Regularly check and adjust chain tension. Ensure the chain is sharp for optimal cutting performance. Lubricate the chain as needed to reduce friction and wear.

• Battery Storage: Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

• Tool Not Starting: Check if the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Ensure the safety switch is pressed before engaging the start-up switch.
• Poor Cutting Performance: Verify that the chain tension is correct. Inspect the chain for sharpness and replace if dull or damaged. Ensure the battery has sufficient charge.
• Overheating: If the tool feels excessively hot, stop operation immediately and allow it to cool down. Avoid continuous heavy use without breaks.
