How to use

To operate the chainsaw, ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted into the tool. Before starting, verify that the chain tension is correct and that the chain is properly lubricated. Hold the tool firmly with both hands using the designated grip areas. Engage the safety switch before pressing the trigger to start the motor. Approach the branch at a steady angle and allow the saw to perform the cutting work without applying excessive downward pressure. Always maintain a stable footing and be aware of the falling direction of the branches.

What to consider before purchase

• Check if the battery and charger are included or need to be purchased separately
• Assess the thickness of the wood you intend to cut regularly
• Ensure you have appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection

Usage recommendations

Always store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location after cleaning the guide bar and chain of debris. Regularly inspect the chain for sharpness and tension to maintain optimal cutting performance and safety.
