Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure both M18 batteries are fully charged and inserted correctly into the designated dual slots. Before the first cut, fill the reservoir with high-quality chain oil and tension the chain appropriately using the side-access tensioner. Compatibility is universal across the entire Milwaukee M18 battery system, though for best performance, use high-capacity batteries. After use, clear wood chips from the chain cover and bar track to prevent clogging. Always store the tool in a clean, dry environment and remove the batteries during long periods of storage to prevent discharge.
