Before using a brushless chain saw, it is crucial to ensure that the tool is in optimal working condition. First, a comprehensive inspection of the saw chain is required, including key indicators such as tension, lubrication status, and battery power. The tension of the saw chain should be maintained at a moderate level. Too tight may cause the saw chain to break, while too loose may cause the saw chain to fall off or the cutting effect is not ideal. In addition, the lubrication of the saw chain cannot be ignored. Lack of proper lubrication will accelerate chain wear and even cause equipment failure. Therefore, before operation, be sure to ensure that there is an appropriate amount of lubricant on the saw chain to maintain its good lubrication.
When operating a brushless chain saw, the correct grip is essential to improve cutting efficiency and ensure operational safety. Users should use a two-handed grip, with one hand holding the front handle and the other hand holding the rear handle to maintain body stability. Both hands should hold the handle firmly, and the thumb and other fingers should be closely combined to ensure that the tool can be effectively controlled in the event of an accident. In addition, during the cutting process, the user should stand on one side of the saw chain and avoid standing upright behind to reduce the risk of rebound accidents.
When cutting wood, you should ensure that the saw chain maintains an appropriate cutting angle with the wood. It is usually recommended to be about 30 degrees, which helps the saw chain to cut into the wood smoothly and reduce cutting resistance. At the same time, you should maintain a uniform advancement speed when cutting, avoiding too fast or too slow, so as not to damage the saw chain or affect the cutting effect. For thicker tree trunks or branches, it is recommended to use segmented cutting. First, cut a V-shaped cut, and then gradually advance the cutting along the cut direction. This can significantly improve cutting efficiency and reduce saw chain wear.
In the process of using brushless chain saws, users also need to master some skills to deal with special situations. For example, when cutting tight branches, you should handle it carefully to prevent accidental injuries caused by the released tension. At this time, you can gently shake the branches to loosen them before cutting. In addition, if you encounter a jam in the saw chain or a sudden break in the wood during the cutting process, the user should stop the operation immediately, carefully check the status of the saw chain and the wood, and ensure safety before continuing to cut.
