2. Chain Installation and Tensioning

Ensure the battery is removed before installing or adjusting the chain. Follow these steps for chain installation:

  1. Remove the chain protective cover.
  2. Carefully place the chain around the guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges are facing the correct direction.
  3. Fit the guide bar and chain onto the chainsaw body.
  4. Adjust the chain tension using the tool-free tensioning mechanism. The chain should be snug but still able to be pulled freely around the guide bar by hand.
  5. Replace the chain protective cover when not in use.

3. Lubrication

The mini chainsaw features an automatic oiler. Before each use, ensure the oil reservoir is filled with appropriate chainsaw bar and chain oil. Proper lubrication is crucial for chain longevity and efficient cutting.
