4. Setup

4.1 Charging the Battery

Before first use, fully charge both 2000mAh lithium batteries. Ensure the charger is connected to a standard power outlet.

1. Connect the charger to a power source.
2. Insert the battery into the charger. The indicator light on the charger will turn red, indicating that the battery is charging.
3. Once fully charged, the indicator light will turn green. Disconnect the battery from the charger.

4.2 Installing the Guide Bar and Chain

Always ensure the battery is removed before installing or changing the guide bar and chain.

1. Remove the chain cover by loosening the knob.
2. Place the chain around the guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges are facing the correct direction (refer to the arrow on the guide bar).
3. Fit the chain and guide bar onto the chainsaw body, aligning the chain with the drive sprocket.
4. Replace the chain cover and lightly tighten the knob.
5. Adjust the chain tension using the provided screwdriver. The chain should be snug but still able to be pulled around the guide bar by hand. A properly tensioned chain allows for 3-5 teeth of movement when pulled away from the guide bar.
6. Once tension is set, fully tighten the chain cover knob.

4.3 Adding Chain Oil

The chainsaw features an auto-oiling system. Ensure the oil reservoir is filled before each use to maintain chain lubrication.

1. Locate the oil reservoir cap on the chainsaw body.
2. Unscrew the cap and carefully fill the reservoir with appropriate chain lubricant (not included). Use the provided empty oil can for easy pouring.
3. Do not overfill. Securely replace the cap.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Starting the Chainsaw

1. Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted into the chainsaw.
2. Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands (or one hand if using the lightweight design for appropriate tasks, ensuring full control).
3. Press and hold the safety lock button (usually located near the trigger).
4. Squeeze the trigger switch to start the chain. Release the safety lock button once the chain is running.
5. To stop the chainsaw, release the trigger switch.

5.2 Cutting Techniques

• Small Branches: For branches up to 4 inches, the 6-inch guide bar is suitable. Position the chainsaw firmly against the branch and allow the chain to cut through without forcing.

• Thicker Wood: For wood up to 8 inches, use the 8-inch guide bar. Ensure the detachable extra grip is installed for better control and stability. Make sure the wood is stable and cannot shift during cutting.


Figure 5.2: The detachable grip provides improved control for cutting thicker wood.

• Avoid Kickback: Be aware of the kickback danger zone at the tip of the guide bar. Avoid cutting with this area.
• Cutting Firewood: When cutting logs, ensure they are securely supported and cannot roll.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your chainsaw. Always remove the battery before performing any maintenance.

6.1 Chain Sharpening

A sharp chain is crucial for efficient and safe cutting. Sharpen the chain regularly or replace it when dull. Refer to the chain manufacturer's instructions for proper sharpening techniques and file sizes.

6.2 Chain Lubrication

The auto-oiling system requires regular refilling of the oil reservoir. Check the oil level before each use and refill as needed with quality chain lubricant.

6.3 Cleaning

After each use, clean the chainsaw to remove sawdust, debris, and resin buildup.

• Use a brush or compressed air to clean the motor housing and ventilation slots.
