5. Setup & Assembly

5.1 Attaching the Guide Bar and Chain

1. Ensure the battery is removed from the chainsaw before assembly.
2. Loosen the chain tensioning knob and remove the chain cover.
3. Carefully place the saw chain around the sprocket and guide bar. Ensure the cutting edges of the chain are facing the correct direction (clockwise).
4. Align the guide bar onto the chainsaw body, ensuring the chain is properly seated in the guide bar groove and around the sprocket.
5. Replace the chain cover and hand-tighten the guide bar locking knob.
6. Adjust the chain tension using the chain tensioning knob until the chain is snug but can still be moved freely by hand. The chain should not sag from the guide bar.
7. Fully tighten the guide bar locking knob.

5.2 Filling the Oil Reservoir

1. Locate the oil reservoir cap on the chainsaw body.
2. Unscrew the cap and carefully pour bar and chain oil into the reservoir. Use a funnel to prevent spills.
3. Monitor the oil level through the transparent window. Do not overfill.
4. Securely replace the oil reservoir cap.

5.3 Adjusting Chain Tension

Proper chain tension is crucial for safe and efficient operation. The tool-free tension adjustment system allows for easy modifications:

1. Ensure the chainsaw is turned off and the battery is removed.
2. Loosen the guide bar locking knob slightly.
3. Turn the chain tensioning knob clockwise to tighten the chain or counter-clockwise to loosen it.
4. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still allow you to pull it around the bar by hand. There should be no excessive slack.
5. Once the desired tension is achieved, fully tighten the guide bar locking knob.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Pre-Operation Checklist

• Ensure all safety gear is worn.
• Check chain tension and adjust if necessary.
• Verify the oil reservoir is adequately filled.
• Confirm the battery is fully charged and securely inserted.

6.2 Starting the Chainsaw

To start the chainsaw, simultaneously press the dual-safety interlock triggers and the start button. The chainsaw features two adjustable speed settings:

• Low Speed: Ideal for daily pruning and trimming, providing smooth, controlled cuts.
• High Speed: Delivers increased cutting power for tougher, thicker wood, suitable for heavy-duty tasks.

6.3 Cutting Techniques

Always maintain a firm grip on the chainsaw with both hands. Position yourself securely and ensure the cutting area is free of obstructions. Allow the chainsaw to reach full speed before engaging the wood. Avoid forcing the saw; let the chain do the work. For larger branches, make relief cuts to prevent pinching.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your chainsaw.

• Chain Lubrication: The automatic lubrication system ensures continuous oil flow to the chain. Regularly check the oil level in the reservoir and refill as needed. Never operate the chainsaw with an empty oil reservoir.
• Chain Tension: Frequently check chain tension. A loose chain can derail, while an overly tight chain can cause premature wear. Adjust using the tool-free tensioning knob.
• Cleaning: After each use, clean sawdust, wood chips, and debris from the guide bar, chain, and motor housing. Pay special attention to the area under the chain cover to prevent buildup that can affect performance.
• Storage: Store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location with the guide bar cover in place. Remove the battery before storage.
