Chain installation instructions

Step 1
Install the guide plate and chain into the sprocket, and Install the guide plate adjusting elastic pin into the small hole of the guide plate

Step 2
Cove, the guide plate cover. install the nut and keep it not tightened, adjust the tightness of the chain by hand

Step 3
Tighten the screws with a wrench

Chain maintenance

1. Calibrate the tightness of the chain.
   Calibrating the tightness of the chain on the guide plate can offer you the best using experience. If the chain is too tight on the guide plate, then there will be more friction so it will wear the guide plate and consume the battery faster. If the chain is too loose on the guide plate, then sometimes the chain can fall out during use. To calibrate the tightness of the chain, simply use a screw driver to adjust the screw behind the guide plate (No need to take off the guide plate cover). clockwise for tighter chain and anti-clockwise for looser chain. The proper tightness should be when you are able to pull the chain off the guide plate edge baseline by 3-4 mm (0.12-0.15 inch).
   
2. Remove accumulated wood dust
   The chain and guide plate does not require oil maintenance normally as long as you maintain the two parts clean. It is advised to do a thorough cleaning alter a few uses. Use the wrench to open the guide plate cover and remove the accumulated wood dust etc.
3. Replace chain
   By a quick examination by eyes, if you find the blades on the chain become noticeably blunt and the Chainsaw does not cut things as Sharp as it used to be, then it is time to replace with a new chain. For compatible replacement chain in formation and ordering, you can contact Customer Service.

FAQS

How long does it take to charge a mini chainsaw battery?

lithium battery, Lithium-ion batteries with self-overload and temperature protection provide a much longer battery life. When fully charged, the battery mini chainsaw can cut branches continuously for 30-40 minutes, charging time is about 1 to 2 hours.

Do battery powered chainsaws need oil?

Electric chain saws derive their power from an electric source, so they don’t need fuel to run. Most gas chain saws require a premixed gas-and-oil fuel to operate properly. Electric chain saws don’t require this added oil, but the bar and chain do need to be properly lubricated.

How long does a battery chainsaw last?

A battery-powered chainsaw typically runs about 30 to 40 minutes with intermittent use depending on the battery’s size.

Why did my battery chainsaw stop working?

If your saw is cordless, you need to check to see if your battery is actually charged, or is charging correctly. Rechargeable batteries can begin to lose power over time and need to be replaced. The charger itself can fail to work as well.

Why is my chainsaw burning the wood?

Smoking or burning wood and excessive chain rattle without any cutting are all strong signs that the chain is mounted backwards. If this is the case, discontinue use of the chainsaw immediately until the chain is reinstalled the correct way.

What does brushless mean on a chain saw?

Unlike carbon brushes, the magnets in a brushless motor don’t need physical contact with other components to transmit a charge, so there’s less interference from friction. For greater efficiency in your cordless chainsaw, look for a saw with a brushless motor.

How long does it take to charge a chainsaw battery?

A completely discharged Endurance battery pack will take approximately 120 minutes to charge, while a Standard battery pack will take approximately 60 minutes.

Can electric chainsaw cut trees?

Electric chainsaws are best used for sprucing up trees, trimming limbs, cutting small logs, and other cutting tasks around your home or yard.

How does a chainsaw work?

Instead of a rotating chain, they have a powered, reciprocating blade (one that moves back and forth) mounted on top of a stationary blade. As the electric motor whirrs into action, a crank pulls the moving blade past the stationary one and the cutter chops its way through your hedge.

Why do electric chainsaws need oil?

Electric chainsaws need oil for lubrication and protection of the chain and guide bar. The oil dripped on the guide bar is protecting it from damage and overheating. Unlike gas-powered chainsaws that need fuel mixed with oil, electric chainsaws do not need oil as a fuel component.

What should you not cut with a chainsaw?

That’s because a sharp blade pulls itself into the wood, while a dull blade requires lots of downward pressure. That pressure wears out the bar, drive links, clutch sprocket and clutch.

How many times can you sharpen a chainsaw blade?

Cutters can be sharpened up to 10 times or more before the chain needs replacing. If your cutters are worn unevenly after a few sharpenings, a professional can regrind them to uniform shape. If you use the same chain for a few years, then buy a new one, the new one won’t mesh smoothly with the sprocket and bar.

How tight should chainsaw blade be?

A properly-tensioned chainsaw chain should still be just a little loose on the chainsaw guide bar, but the chain needs to be tight enough that you can’t pull the drive links out of the bar nose.

Does voltage matter for battery chainsaw?

It is hard to be certain, but higher voltage tools generally perform better. What matters in most power tools is power. Power = volts times amps. We can get power using lower voltage, but the higher amps that would be required is problematic.

Why is brushless better?

Because there are no brushes rubbing against anything, no energy is lost due to friction. That means brushless motors are more energy-efficient than brushed drills and can run on batteries for up to 50 percent longer.

What is chainsaw oil made of?

Petroleum-based bar oil has been the standard for chainsaws. Lightweight oil is used in winter and heavier oil in summer. Manufacturers of chainsaws make bar and chain oils specially blended for their machines to extend their lifespan, but if they are not available, the owner’s manual suggests alternatives.

Why does my chainsaw chain dull so quickly?

There are several reasons why a chainsaw blade may dull quickly. Some common ways are from overuse, steep angled cutting teeth, cutting through dirty wood, or working with difficult wood like hickory, ironwood, and black oak.

Can you use chainsaw on wet wood?

No, it is not bad to cut the wet wood with your chainsaw. Dewdrops, raindrops, or the snow on the wood will not cause any harm to your chainsaw. It is, in fact, much easier to cut through the wet wood than dry wood because the extra moisture on the wood will act as a natural lubricant.

Why is my electric chainsaw smoking?

It isn’t normal for a chainsaw to smoke, but if it does happen it can be the result of the chainsaw overheating, the fuel mix containing too much oil, or the chain either not being sharp enough or not getting enough lubrication. In short, a smoking chainsaw is a sure sign that something isn’t right.

How does an electric chainsaw work?

Electric chainsaws are powered by electrical motors. Electrical motors don’t have moving parts like a gas engine. An internal power-producing component called an “armature” converts electrical power into mechanical power in the form of torque.

Are small electric chainsaws any good?

Mini chainsaws are great for powering through light-duty lumberjacking projects, like pruning branches and cutting small logs. Their rugged design and powerful motors pack a serious amount of cutting power into a small package, and offer a durability that users typically won’t find in other power saws.

Can electric chainsaw overheat?

Electric chainsaws tend to overheat when used extensively, or when they are not assembled properly. This could be due to a loose part that missed while assembling the saw or a lack of lubrication that creates heat due to friction between parts.
