WARNING! Remove battery from chainsaw before servicing.
Severe injury or death could occur from body contact with a
moving chain.
WARNING! Cutting edges on the chain are sharp. Use
protective gloves when handling the chain.
WARNING! When cleaning saw body, follow the below
instructions:
• Do not submerge saw in any liquids.
• Do not use products that contain ammonia, chlorine
or abrasives.
• Do not use chlorinated cleaning solvents, carbon
tetrachloride, kerosene or gasoline.
Note: The saw chain tension is properly set at the factory. Check new
chain tension frequently (after disconnecting battery) during the first
10 cutting operations. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps below
to check saw chain tension.
1. Remove battery pack from the saw.
2. Place chainsaw on a firm surface to
check chain tension.
3. Pull chain with light force 1/8” away from
the bottom of the guide bar and release.
If the chain lightly snaps back into place,
the tension is correct. A slight sag (1/16”
or less) between the chain and the
bottom of the guide bar is acceptable.
