3. Allow the battery to charge fully. The charger's indicator light will signal when charging is complete.
4. Disconnect the battery from the charger once fully charged.

4.2 Installing the Guide Bar and Chain

1. Ensure the battery is removed from the chainsaw.
2. Loosen the Bar Tightening Knob and remove the side cover.
3. Carefully place the saw chain around the sprocket and guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges are facing the correct direction.
4. Align the guide bar with the mounting studs on the chainsaw body.
5. Replace the side cover and lightly tighten the Bar Tightening Knob.

4.3 Adjusting Chain Tension

The iBELL BS 20-08 features tool-free chain adjustment.

1. With the side cover lightly tightened, rotate the Tension Adjusting Dial to achieve proper chain tension. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand.
2. Once the tension is correct, fully tighten the Bar Tightening Knob to secure the guide bar and chain.
3. Note: Chain tension may need to be adjusted frequently during initial use as the chain stretches.

4.4 Adding Chain Lubrication Oil

The chainsaw requires lubrication for the chain and guide bar. Oil is not included with the product.

1. Ensure the chainsaw is off and the battery is removed.
2. Unscrew the Oil Tank Cover.
3. Fill the oil tank with appropriate chain lubricant (e.g., bar and chain oil). Do not overfill.
4. Replace the Oil Tank Cover securely.
5. Regularly check the transparent oil tank casing to monitor oil levels during operation.

5. Operating the Chainsaw

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation.

5.1 Starting and Stopping

1. Insert the charged battery into the chainsaw until it clicks into place.
2. To start, press and hold the Engine Lock Button, then squeeze the Control Handle (trigger). The chain will begin to move.
3. To stop, release the Control Handle. For immediate shutdown, press the Engine Stop Button.

5.2 Cutting Techniques

• Maintain a stable stance: Always stand firmly with good balance.
• Plan your cut: Identify the direction of fall for branches and ensure a clear escape path.
• Engage the chain before contact: Allow the chain to reach full speed before touching the wood.
• Use the bottom of the guide bar: This provides better control and reduces kickback risk.
• Avoid cutting above shoulder height: This can lead to loss of control.
• Be aware of pinching: Support the branch to prevent it from pinching the guide bar.
• Rotatable Head: Utilize the rotatable head feature for optimal cutting angles, especially in tight spaces.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your chainsaw.

6.1 Chain Maintenance

• Sharpening: A sharp chain cuts efficiently and safely. Sharpen the chain regularly using a suitable file or professional service.
• Tension: Continuously monitor and adjust chain tension. A loose chain can derail, and an overly tight chain can cause premature wear.
• Replacement: Replace the chain when it becomes dull beyond sharpening or if links are damaged.

6.2 Guide Bar Maintenance

• Clean the groove: Remove sawdust and debris from the guide bar groove regularly to ensure proper chain movement and lubrication.
• Check for burrs: File down any burrs that form on the guide bar rails.
• Flip the bar: Periodically flip the guide bar to ensure even wear on both sides.

6.3 Cleaning and Storage

• Clean after each use: Remove sawdust, chips, and debris from the chainsaw body, guide bar, and chain.
• Battery removal: Always remove the battery before cleaning or storing.
• Store in BMC box: Store the chainsaw and its components in the provided BMC box in a dry, secure location, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
