5. Setup

5.1 Assembly

1. Attach Chainsaw Head: Align the chainsaw head with the main handle/battery housing. Ensure the connection is secure and locks into place.
2. Install Guide Bar and Chain: Follow the instructions for installing the 8-inch guide bar and 1/4" pitch chain. Ensure the chain is correctly seated in the guide bar groove and around the sprocket.
3. Adjust Chain Tension: Use the tool-less tensioning knob to adjust the chain. The chain should be snug but still able to be pulled freely around the guide bar by hand. Refer to the "Tool-Less Tensioning" image for guidance.
4. Attach Chain Guard: Secure the chain guard over the guide bar when the tool is not in use or during transport.
5. Assemble Pole Extension (for Pole Saw use): Connect the extendable pole to the main handle/battery housing and the chainsaw head. Ensure all connections are firmly secured.

5.2 Battery Installation and Oiling

1. Insert Battery: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Slide a compatible Dewalt 20V MAX or 60V Flex battery into the battery slot until it clicks securely.
2. Fill Oil Reservoir: Open the oil cap and fill the automatic oiling system reservoir with appropriate chain and bar oil. Do not overfill. Check oil levels before each use. Refer to the "Automatic Lubrication System" image for guidance.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 General Operation

• Power On: Press the safety lock button and then squeeze the trigger to start the saw.
• Cutting Technique: Allow the saw to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the saw.
• Battery Gauge: Monitor the battery gauge to avoid unexpected power loss during a cut.

6.2 Using as a Handheld Chainsaw

For smaller branches and ground-level cutting, detach the chainsaw head from the pole extension.

1. Ensure the chainsaw head is securely attached to the main handle.
2. Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.
3. Position the saw to make a clean cut, avoiding contact with the ground or other obstacles.

6.3 Using as a Pole Saw

For reaching high branches, attach the extendable pole. The pole extends from 5ft to 9ft, providing a maximum reach of approximately 15ft.

1. Ensure the pole is securely attached to both the chainsaw head and the handle.
2. Adjust the pole length to the desired height, ensuring the locking mechanisms are engaged.
3. Utilize the 180° & 360° rotating head to achieve the optimal cutting angle for overhead branches.
4. Maintain a stable stance and keep both hands on the pole.
5. Make cuts from the underside of the branch first to prevent pinching, then complete the cut from the top.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TengXcel tool.

• Chain Oiling: Regularly check and refill the automatic oiling system reservoir with quality chain and bar oil.
• Chain Tension: Frequently check chain tension. A loose chain can derail, and a too-tight chain can cause excessive wear and overheating. Adjust using the tool-less tensioning knob.
• Chain Sharpening/Replacement: A dull chain reduces cutting efficiency and increases kickback risk. Sharpen the chain as needed or replace it when worn.
• Cleaning: After each use, remove the battery and clean the tool. Clear sawdust, debris, and sap from the guide bar, chain, and motor housing. Use a brush or compressed air.
• Storage: Store the tool in a dry, secure location out of reach of children. Ensure the chain guard is in place. Remove the battery for long-term storage.
