3.1 Ho tjhaja Betri

Before first use, fully charge both 4000mAh lithium batteries. Connect the charger to a power outlet and insert the battery. The charging time is approximately 2-3 hours per battery. A full charge provides 80-120 minutes of working time, depending on usage intensity.

3.2 Ketane le Tataiso ea ho Kenyeletsoa/Tensioning

The chainsaw features a tool-less tensioning system for easy chain adjustment. Ensure the chain is correctly seated in the guide bar groove and around the sprocket. Adjust the tension knob until the chain is snug but can still be pulled freely by hand. A properly tensioned chain should not sag from the guide bar but should not be overly tight.

3.3 Oil Filling for Automatic Lubrication

This chainsaw is equipped with an automatic lubrication system. Fill the oil reservoir with appropriate chainsaw bar and chain oil. The reservoir capacity is small, so frequent refilling (approximately every 15 minutes of continuous use) is necessary. Always check the oil level before and during operation.

3.4 Assembling the Pole Saw

To convert to a pole saw, attach the chainsaw unit to the extension pole. The pole is adjustable and can extend from 4.6 feet up to 8 feet, allowing for a maximum reach of approximately 16 feet. The blade head can rotate 180 degrees for multi-angle cutting. Ensure all connections are secure before operation.

4.2 Mini Chainsaw Mode

Hold the mini chainsaw firmly with both hands. Position the guide bar against the material to be cut. Apply steady, even pressure. The brushless motor provides strong power and efficient cutting, with a chain speed of up to 26.2 ft/s (8 meters/second). This allows for consistent cutting performance on various wood types.

4.3 Pole Saw Mode

When using the pole saw, ensure the pole is securely assembled and extended to the desired length. Maintain a stable stance. Use the shoulder strap for added comfort and control, especially during extended use. The lightweight design (approximately 7.2 lbs for the pole saw configuration) makes it suitable for various users, including those with less physical strength.

5. Tlhokomelo

  • Lubrication ea Chain: Regularly check and refill the bar oil reservoir. Although automatic, the small tank requires frequent attention to ensure proper chain lubrication and prevent premature wear.
  • Chain Sharpening/Replacement: A dull chain reduces cutting efficiency and increases strain on the motor. Sharpen the chain as needed or replace it with the provided spare chain.
  • Ho hloekisa: After each use, clean the guide bar, chain, and motor housing to remove sawdust and debris. Ensure the battery is removed before cleaning.
  • Tlhokomelo ea Betri: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not expose them to extreme temperatures. Fully charge batteries before long-term storage.
  • Polokelo: When not in use, store the tool in a dry, secure location out of reach of children. If storing for an extended period, empty the oil reservoir to prevent leaks.
