Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

1. After Each Use: Clean sawdust from bar, chain, and air vents.
2. Weekly: Check and tighten all screws and fasteners.
3. Monthly: Inspect pole lock mechanism for wear; lubricate if necessary.
4. Oil System: Refill with recommended oil; clean oil ports to prevent clogging.

CAUTION! Always disconnect power source (remove battery/unplug) before performing any maintenance.

Chain Sharpening & Replacement

A sharp chain ensures efficient cutting and reduces motor strain.

1. Sharpening: Use round file matching chain pitch (typically 4mm). File each cutter at 30° angle with equal strokes.
2. Depth Gauges: File down rakers to maintain proper depth (0.6mm) using depth gauge tool.
3. Replacement: When cutters are worn beyond repair, replace entire chain. Match pitch and gauge specifications.
4. Installation: Follow assembly steps; ensure correct rotation direction (cutting edges forward on top of bar).

WARNING! Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling chain. Ensure chain is properly tensioned after sharpening or replacement.

Storage Guidelines

Proper storage prevents damage and extends tool life.

1. Clean thoroughly: Remove all sawdust and debris.
2. Oil chain and bar: Apply light coat of oil to prevent rust.
3. Store in dry place: Avoid damp or extreme temperature environments.
4. Battery care: Store battery at 40-50% charge in cool, dry location if not used for extended periods.

CAUTION! Do not store with fuel (if applicable) in enclosed spaces. Keep out of reach of children.
