Daily Checklist

To help maintain your cordless chain saw for optimum 

performance, we recommend you complete this checklist prior 

to each work session.

WARNING! 

Do not insert the battery until you have 

completed all of the daily checks.

•  Inspect for any visible damage to the chain, guide bar, or 

motor housing. 

•  Inspect the oil port and guide bar rails and clean them to 

remove any debris.

•  Check the chain tension.
•  Check the chain teeth for sharpness.
•  Check the bar and chain oil level; fill with only new chain 

oil specifically formulated for chain saws.

NOTE: If you notice anything unusual, such as a vibration or 

odd sound, shut the saw OFF immediately. Remove the power 

cord and check the saw for any damage.

If you cannot find the cause of the problem or are uncertain 

what to do, then have the saw inspected by an authorized

Cleaning

Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the cordless 

chain saw. Never let any liquid get inside the motor housing 

and NEVER immerse any part of the saw housing in liquid.

Storage

•  Ensure that the guide bar cover is in place when storing.
•  Do not store cordless chain saw near chemicals, such 

as fertilizers or other harsh solvents. Do not expose 

the plastic parts of the unit to brake fluids, gasoline, 

petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, or the like. 

These products are often highly corrosive and may cause 

permanent damage, weaken, or destroy the plastic parts 

of your unit.
