  This issue may arise if the machine enters protection mode to safeguard the PCB; release the trigger and restart the chainsaw, avoiding forced cuts. Alternatively, the battery might need charging, or the chain may lack lubrication; ensure the chain is lubricated to reduce friction and prevent operation without sufficient oil. Another potential reason is incorrect battery storage temperature, in this case cool the battery pack until it decreases to the ambient temperature.

  First, ensure the chain brake is disengaged by pulling it towards you. Next, check that the battery is correctly connected until you hear a click. If the battery is low, charge it. Also, make sure to simultaneously push the lock-out button and the trigger to start the chainsaw.

  Several factors can cause this. The chain might be too tight, so adjust the tension. The oil tank could be empty, requiring you to add oil. There might be a blockage of the discharge port, oil tank, guide bar, oil tank cap, sprocket, or guide wheels due to contamination. In such cases, remove the guide bar and clean the discharge port, clean the oil tank and add new oil, clean the guide bar and the oil tank cap, or clean the sprocket and the guide wheels, respectively.

  There are a few potential reasons for this. The chain might be too tight, in which case you should adjust the chain tension. The guide bar and chain could be damaged, requiring replacement if necessary. It is also possible that the motor is damaged. In this case remove the battery pack, remove the guide bar cover, remove the bar and saw chain, clean the machine, install battery pack and operate the machine. If the sprocket rotates, it means the motor works properly. If not, call service center.

  This issue can occur for several reasons. The chain might be blunt, requiring sharpening or replacement. The chain could also be installed in the incorrect direction; turn the chain loop to the other direction. Additionally, the chain may be too tight or too loose, so adjust the chain tension accordingly.
