Maintenance
Chain Lubrication
Regularly check the oil level in the auto oiler system and refill as needed. Proper lubrication is crucial for chain longevity and cutting performance.
Chain Sharpening and Replacement
A dull chain will reduce cutting efficiency and increase strain on the motor. Sharpen the chain regularly or replace it when necessary. Refer to the included tool kit for chain adjustment and replacement.
Cleaning
After each use, remove the battery and clean the tool. Use a brush to remove sawdust and debris from the chain, guide bar, and motor vents. Do not use water or solvents that could damage the tool.
Battery Care
Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not expose them to extreme temperatures. Fully charge batteries before long-term storage and recharge every 3-6 months to maintain battery health.
