1. Unpacking ati Apejọ
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. The chainsaw comes partially assembled. You will need to attach the guide bar and saw chain.
- Gbe chainsaw sori iduro, dada alapin.
- Remove the chain cover by loosening the two nuts.
- Mount the guide bar onto the studs, ensuring the chain tensioner pin fits into the hole on the guide bar.
- Carefully place the saw chain around the sprocket and into the groove of the guide bar. Ensure the cutting edges of the chain are facing the correct direction (refer to the arrow on the guide bar or chainsaw body).
- Rọpo ideri ẹ̀wọ̀n náà kí o sì fi ọwọ́ mú àwọn èèpo náà. Má ṣe fún wọn ní àwọ̀ pátápátá.
- Adjust the chain tension using the tensioning screw. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand. There should be no sag on the underside of the guide bar.
- Once the tension is correct, fully tighten the chain cover nuts.
2. Fuel and Oil Filling
This chainsaw operates on a petrol-oil mixture and requires separate chain oil for lubrication.
- Epo epo: Use a mixture of unleaded petrol and high-quality 2-stroke engine oil. The recommended mixing ratio is typically 1:40 (2.5% oil). Always refer to the specific ratio indicated in the chainsaw's manual or on the fuel cap. Use the provided mixing bottle for accurate measurement.
- Epo pq: Fill the chain oil tank with biodegradable chain lubricant. Do not use waste oil or motor oil, as this can damage the pump and chain.

- Push the choke lever halfway in (half-choke position).
- Fa okùn ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ náà lẹ́ẹ̀kan síi títí tí ẹ̀rọ náà yóò fi bẹ̀rẹ̀.
