4. Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your chainsaw for first use:

1. Charge Batteries: Insert both 108V batteries into the fast charger. Allow them to charge fully before first use. The charger indicator light will change when charging is complete.
2. Install Guide Bar and Chain:
   • Ensure the chainsaw is off and the battery is removed.
   • Remove the side cover by loosening the retaining nuts.
   • Place the chain around the drive sprocket and then guide it into the groove of the 12-inch guide bar.

   • Replace the side cover and hand-tighten the retaining nuts.

   • Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the chainsaw through the wood.
   • Be aware of potential kickback, especially when cutting with the upper quadrant of the guide bar tip.

• Chain Lubrication: Ensure the chain is adequately lubricated before and during operation. Check the oil reservoir (if applicable) and refill with appropriate chain oil.
• Cleaning: After each use, clean sawdust, debris, and resin from the guide bar, chain, and motor housing. Use a brush or compressed air.
• Guide Bar Maintenance: Periodically flip the guide bar to ensure even wear. Clean the guide bar groove to remove debris.
