This article explains how to prepare, start, and safely operate your electric chainsaw.

⚠️ Safety Notice

Before using the chainsaw:

Ensure the hand guard is in the operating position by pulling it backwards towards the front handle.
Never operate the chainsaw without biodegradable chain oil.
Regularly check the chain oil level.
Ensure the chain is correctly tensioned. A loose chain may come off during use and cause injury.
Check the work area for hazards, including other people, obstacles, sharp edges, and trip hazards.
Ensure the mains cable is correctly connected and secured in the cable strain relief.

Disengage the chain brake by pulling the chain brake lever backwards towards the front handle.
Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands:
- Left hand on the front handle.
- Right hand on the rear handle.
Ensure your fingers and thumbs fully grip the handles.
Press and hold the safety lock button using your right thumb.
While holding the safety lock button, press the On/Off trigger switch.
The chainsaw will start immediately at operating speed.
Begin cutting only once the chain is moving.

The safety lock button is only used to unlock the On/Off trigger and does not need to be held after the chainsaw has started.
Never place the chainsaw onto the material you intend to cut while the chain is stationary.
Always allow the chain to reach operating speed before making contact with the material.
Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of kickback.

If you are unable to start the chainsaw or experience any issues during operation, please contact our Technical Support Team for assistance.
