1. Información de seguridade
Always prioritize safety when operating any power tool. Read and understand all instructions before use. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
Normas xerais de seguridade
- Usar equipos de protección individual (EPI) axeitados, incluíndo lentes de seguridade, protección auditiva, luvas e calzado resistente.
- Manteña os nenos, os transeúntes e os animais a polo menos 50 pés (15 metros) de distancia da zona de traballo.
- Non opere a motoserra en condicións húmidas nin en presenza de líquidos ou gases inflamables.
- Ensure the work area is clear of obstacles and has good lighting.
- Manteña sempre unha postura e un equilibrio axeitados. Non se estenda demasiado.
- Never operate the chainsaw with one hand. Always use two hands to grip the saw firmly.
- Be aware of kickback. Kickback can occur when the moving chain at the tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
- Disconnect the chainsaw from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Seguridade Eléctrica
- Use only extension cords suitable for outdoor use and rated for the chainsaw's power requirements.
- Inspect the power cord and extension cord for damage before each use. Do not use if damaged.
- Manteña o cable de alimentación lonxe da zona de corte.

- Loosen the tool-free chain tensioning knob by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Retire a tapa lateral.
- Carefully place the chain around the sprocket and guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges of the chain teeth are facing forward (away from the motor) on the top of the bar.
- Re-attach the side cover and hand-tighten the tensioning knob.

3.2 Adding Bar and Chain Oil
The chainsaw features an automatic oiling system. Always ensure the oil reservoir is filled before operation.
- Desenrosque a tapa do aceite situada na parte superior da motoserra.
- Fill the reservoir with high-quality bar and chain oil. Do not use waste oil or motor oil.
- Monitor the clear oil window to avoid overfilling.
- Replace the oil cap and tighten securely.

4. Instrucións de funcionamento
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your electric chainsaw.
4.1 Puesta en marcha da motoserra
- Asegúrese de que o freo da cadea estea desactivado (tirado cara á asa dianteira).
- Plug the chainsaw into a suitable power outlet using a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord.
- Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand.
- Press the safety lock-off button with your thumb, then squeeze the trigger switch to start the motor.
4.2 Técnicas de corte
Os 12 Amp motor and 16-inch low-kickback bar and chain are designed for smooth operation.
- Always start the cut with the chain running at full speed.
- Deixa que a serra faga o traballo; non a forces a través da madeira.
- For felling small trees, make a notch cut on the side of the tree in the direction of the fall, then make a felling cut from the opposite side.
- For limbing, work from the bottom up, supporting the branch to prevent pinching.
- For bucking (cutting a fallen log into sections), use a sawhorse or elevate the log to prevent the chain from hitting the ground.

5. Mantemento
Un mantemento regular garante a lonxevidade e o funcionamento seguro da súa motoserra.
5.1 Tensión da cadea
Check chain tension frequently, especially during the first hour of operation. A properly tensioned chain should be snug against the guide bar but still allow you to pull it around the bar by hand.
- To adjust, loosen the tool-free chain tensioning knob slightly.
- Turn the adjustment dial (usually located near the tensioning knob) to increase or decrease tension.
- Once tension is correct, re-tighten the tool-free chain tensioning knob securely.
5.2 Sistema de lubricación
The automatic oiling system requires consistent monitoring.
- Check the oil level using the clear oil window before each use and periodically during operation.
- Refill with bar and chain oil as needed.
- Ensure the oil cap is clean and securely fastened to prevent leaks and contamination.
5.3 Limpeza
- After each use, disconnect the power and clean sawdust and debris from the motor housing, guide bar, and chain.
- Use a stiff brush or compressed air. Do not use water to clean the motor area.
