Reindeer Tools Dasher Cordless Mini Chainsaw – 6" / 8" Kit

To maintain your mini one-handed saws, it’s important to ensure optimal performance and extend the tool’s lifespan. Here are some basic maintenance strategies:
1. Cleaning and Removing Debris
After each use, clean the saw blade and body to remove dust, wood chips, and other debris. You can use a brush, compressed air, or a damp cloth. Avoid rinsing with water to prevent moisture from entering the motor.
2. Check Blade Sharpness
Regularly check if the saw blade is sharp. A dull blade will increase cutting resistance and strain the motor. You can sharpen it with a specialized sharpener or have it professionally sharpened. If the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately.
3. Lubrication
Periodically lubricate moving parts, such as the gear system and blade axle, to ensure smooth operation. Some of our products are equipped with an automatic oiling system, and they can use lubricating oil of any brand.
4. Check Battery and Charger (For Cordless Models)
For battery-operated mini saws, make sure to maintain the battery properly. Charge the battery fully before each use, and if not using for extended periods, store the battery at around 50% charge to preserve its health.
5. Check Motor and Wiring
Regularly inspect the motor and wiring for any wear or damage. Excessive dust accumulation on the motor can affect cooling and reduce the tool’s lifespan.
6. Proper Storage
Store the saw in a dry, cool place. Avoid storing it in a damp or hot environment. If available, use a protective case or cover to prevent scratches and other damage.
7. Check Tightening of Fasteners
Periodically check and tighten screws and fasteners to prevent them from loosening during use, which could affect safety.
