Its key benefit lies in its powerful, emission-free performance and long runtime, allowing for efficient work on larger jobs.

FAQs
What battery is recommended for this chainsaw?
While the chainsaw is compatible with all Toro/Hayter 60V MAX* batteries, the L135 battery is recommended for optimal performance and extended runtime, as indicated in performance examples.
Does this chainsaw come with a battery and charger?
No, this is a bare tool. The battery and charger are sold separately and must be purchased to operate the chainsaw.
How do I adjust the chain tension?
The chainsaw features pro-style chain tensioning with an on-board tool. Use the integrated knob or tool to tighten or loosen the chain as needed, ensuring it is snug but still allows for manual movement.
What is the bar length of this chainsaw?
The chainsaw is equipped with a 41 cm (approximately 16 inch) bar.
Can I use batteries from other brands with this chainsaw?
No, this chainsaw is designed exclusively for use with Toro Flex-Force and Hayter 60V MAX* lithium-ion batteries for safety and optimal performance.
How often should I sharpen the chain?
The frequency of sharpening depends on usage and the types of wood cut. A general guideline is to sharpen when you notice a decrease in cutting performance or if the wood chips become sawdust-like instead of fine shavings. Always ensure the chain is sharp before starting a demanding job.
What maintenance is required for the automatic oiler?
You need to regularly refill the chain oil reservoir with appropriate bar and chain oil. Ensure the oiler hole on the bar is clear of debris. Periodically check that oil is being dispensed onto the chain during operation.
Troubleshooting
Chainsaw will not start
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety lock-off is disengaged and the trigger is depressed fully. Verify the chain brake is not engaged.
Chain is not moving or cutting effectively
Check chain tension; it may be too loose or too tight. Ensure the chain is sharp. Verify the automatic oiler is functioning and the oil reservoir is full. Inspect for any obstructions in the bar groove.
Reduced cutting power or runtime
The battery may be low on charge; recharge or replace with a fully charged battery. Clean air vents and motor housing to ensure proper cooling. Check chain sharpness and tension, as a dull or improperly tensioned chain increases motor load.
Chain is falling off the bar
Re-check and adjust chain tension; it is likely too loose. Ensure the bar and chain are the correct size and type for the saw. Inspect the bar for wear or damage.
