Wood Ranger Mini Chainsaw User Manual

1. Important Safety Instructions

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the Wood Ranger Mini Chainsaw. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

• Battery Installation: Do not install the battery unless you are ready to use the chainsaw.
• Child Safety: Keep the product away from children.
• Battery Removal: Please remove the battery after daily use.
• Flammable Materials: Keep away from flammable and explosive materials.
• Motor Overload Protection: If the saw continues to cut hard after it is obviously stuck during cutting, it is likely to cause the motor to overload. This will automatically start overheating protection and stop working. Wait a few minutes for the motor to cool down and then restart.
• Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear, when operating the chainsaw.
• Work Area: Ensure your work area is clear of obstructions and well-lit.

4. Setup and Assembly

Before first use, ensure the chainsaw is properly assembled and the battery is charged.

1. Charge the Battery: Connect the charging cable to the battery and a power outlet. Allow the battery to fully charge before first use.
2. Install the Guide Plate and Chain: Refer to the included maintenance set for tools. Carefully place the chain around the guide plate, ensuring the cutting teeth are facing the correct direction. Align the guide plate with the chainsaw body and secure it.
3. Attach the Safety Guard: Ensure the safety guard is securely attached over the chain and guide plate.
4. Insert the Battery: Once assembly is complete and you are ready to use the chainsaw, insert the charged battery into the battery slot at the base of the handle until it clicks into place.

5. Operating Instructions

The Wood Ranger Mini Chainsaw is designed for efficient cutting of branches up to 8 inches in diameter.

1. Preparation: Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely installed. Wear all recommended personal protective equipment.
2. Starting the Chainsaw: To activate the chainsaw, first press the safety lock button (usually located near the handle), then press the main switch button. The chainsaw will begin operating.
3. Cutting Technique: Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. Position the guide plate against the material to be cut. Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the saw through the material. Let the saw do the work.
4. Overload Protection: If the motor experiences excessive resistance and stops, this indicates the overload protection has activated. Release the switch, remove the chainsaw from the material, and allow the motor to cool down for a few minutes before resuming operation.
5. Stopping the Chainsaw: Release the switch button to stop the chainsaw. For extended storage or when not in use, remove the battery.

• Chain Cleaning: After each use, clean the chain and guide plate to remove sawdust and debris.
• Chain Lubrication: Periodically apply chain oil to the guide bar and chain to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not expose them to extreme temperatures. Fully charge batteries before long-term storage.
• Blade Sharpening: If the chain becomes dull, it can be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the maintenance set for tools and instructions, or consult a professional.
• General Cleaning: Wipe down the chainsaw body with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
