PRODUCT SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

all instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-

operated (cordless) power tool.

1. WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b)

Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ﬂammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a)

Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do

not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d)

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces

the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected supply. Use

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while

you are tired or under the inﬂuence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

b)

Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or battery

pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on the

switch or energising power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the

power tool may result in personal injury.

e)

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly

used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjustments,

Injecting grease to lubricate

U

changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tool’s operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to

be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁed

by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable

for one type of battery pack may create a risk of

ﬁre when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with speciﬁcally

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁre.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other

small metal objects, that can make a

connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or a ﬁre.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.

If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6. SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualiﬁed repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Keep all parts of the body away from the

saw chain when the Chainsaw is operating.

Before you start the Chainsaw, make sure

the saw chain is not contacting anything.

A moment of inattention while operating

Chainsaws may cause entanglement of your

clothing or body with the saw chain.

2.

Always hold the Chainsaw with your right

hand on the rear handle and your left hand

on the front handle. Holding the Chainsaw

with a reversed hand conﬁguration increases the

risk of personal injury and should never be done.

3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the saw chain may

contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting

a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the

power tool live and could give the operator an

electric shock.

4. Wear safety glasses and hearing

protection. Further protective equipment

for head, hands, legs and feet is

recommended. Adequate protective clothing

will reduce personal injury by ﬂying debris or

accidental contact with the saw chain.

5. Do not operate a Chainsaw in a tree.

Operation of a Chainsaw while up in a tree may

result in personal injury.

6. Always keep proper footing and operate

the Chainsaw only when standing on ﬁxed,

secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable

surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of

balance or control of the Chainsaw.

7. When cutting a limb that is under tension

be alert for spring back. When the tension

in the wood ﬁbres is released the spring loaded

limb may strike the operator and/or throw the

Chainsaw out of control.

8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush

and saplings. The slender material may catch

the saw chain and be whipped toward you or

pull you off balance.

9. Carry the Chainsaw by the front handle

with the Chainsaw switched off and away

from your body. When transporting or

storing the Chainsaw always ﬁt the guide

bar cover. Proper handling of the Chainsaw will

reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with

the moving saw chain.

10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain

tensioning and changing accessories.

Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may

either break or increase the chance for kickback.

11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil

and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery

causing loss of control.

12.

Cut wood only. Do not use Chainsaw for

purposes not intended. For example: do not

use Chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry

or non-wood building materials. Use of the

Chainsaw for operations different than intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

10

Cordless Chainsaw

EN

CAUSES AND OPERATOR

PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide

bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in

and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden

reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back

towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide

bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the

operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to lose

control of the saw which could result in serious

personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the

safety devices built into your saw. As a Chainsaw

user, you should take several steps to keep your

cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be

avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

- Maintain a ﬁrm grip, with thumbs and

ﬁngers encircling the Chainsaw handles,

with both hands on the saw and position

your body and arm to allow you to resist

kickback forces. Kickback forces can be

controlled by the operator, if proper precautions

are taken. Do not let go of the Chainsaw.

- Do not overreach and do not cut above

shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended

tip contact and enables better control of the

Chainsaw in unexpected situations.

- Only use replacement bars and chains

speciﬁed by the manufacturer. Incorrect

replacement bars and chains may cause chain

breakage and/or kickback.

- Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and

maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to

increased kickback.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even with the intended use of the appliance there

is always a residual risk, which can not prevented.

According to the type and construction of the

appliance the following potential hazards might apply:

- Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain

(cutting hazards)

- Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards)

- Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar

(cutting hazards)

- Flung out of parts from the saw chain (Cutting /

injection hazards)

- Flung out of parts of the work piece

- Skin contact with the oil

- Loss of hearing, if no required ear protection

used during work

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR

BATTERY PACK

a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or

battery pack.

b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not

store battery packs haphazardly in a box or

drawer where they may short-circuit each

other or be short-circuited by conductive

materials. When battery pack is not in use, keep

it away from other metal objects, like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small

metal objects, that can make a connection from

one terminal to another. Shorting the battery

terminals together may cause burns or a ﬁre.

c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or ﬁre.

Avoid storage in direct sunlight.

d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical

shock.

e) In the event of battery leaking, do not

allow the liquid to come into contact

with the skin or eyes. If contact has been

made, wash the affected area with copious

amounts of water and seek medical advice.

f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or

battery pack has been swallowed.

g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.

h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a

clean dry cloth if they become dirty.

i) Battery pack needs to be charged before

use. Always refer to this instruction and

use the correct charging procedure.

j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge

when not in use.

k) After extended periods of storage, it may

be necessary to charge and discharge

the battery pack several times to obtain

maximum performance.

l) Battery pack gives its best performance

when it is operated at normal room

temperature (20 °C ± 5 °C).

m) When disposing of battery packs, keep

battery packs of different electrochemical

systems separate from each other.

n) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁed

by Worx. Do not use any charger other than

that speciﬁcally provided for use with the

equipment. A charger that is suitable for one

type of battery pack may create a risk of ﬁre when

used with another battery pack.

o) Do not use any battery pack which is not

designed for use with the equipment.

p) Keep battery pack out of the reach of

children.

q) Retain the original product literature for

future reference.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions concerning the proper techniques

for basic felling, limbing, and cross-cutting

1. Felling a tree

When bucking and felling operations are being

performed by two or more persons at the same time,

the felling operations should be separated from the

bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the

height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be

felled in a manner that would endanger any person,

strike any utility line or cause any property damage.

If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the

company should be notiﬁed immediately.

The Chainsaw operator should keep on the uphill

side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide

downhill after it is felled.

An escape path should be planned and cleared as

necessary before cuts are started. The escape path

should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the

expected line of fall as illustrated in Figure 1.

Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of

the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind

direction to judge which way the tree will fall.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and

wire from the tree.

2. Notching undercut

Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree,

perpendicular to the direction of falls as illustrated in

Figure 1. Make the lower horizontal notching cut (W)

ﬁrst. This will help to avoid pinching either the saw

chain or the guide bar when the second notch (X) is

being made.

3. Felling back cut

Make the felling back cut (Y) at least 50 mm higher

than the horizontal notching cut as illustrated in

Figure 1. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the

horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut

so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge

wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the

wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.

As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should

begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may

not fall in desired direction or it may rock back and

bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling

back cut is complete and use wedges of wood,

plastic or aluminium (Z) to open the cut and drop the

tree along the desired line of fall ( ).

When the tree begins to fall remove the Chainsaw

from the cut, stop the motor, put the Chainsaw

down, then use the retreat path planned ( ). Be

alert for overhead limbs falling and watch your

footing. (See Figure 1)

4. Limbing a tree

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.

When limbing leave larger lower limbs to support

the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in

one cut as illustrated in Figure 2. Branches under

tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid

binding the Chainsaw.

Fig.2

5. Bucking a log

Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important

to make sure your footing is ﬁrm and your weight is

evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the

log should be raised and supported by the use of

limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions

for easy cutting.

When the log is supported along its entire length

as illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut from the top

(overbuck), avoid contacting ground as this will

greatly reduce the chain sharpness.

F

ig.3

When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated

in Figure 4, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside

( underbuck) (1). Then make the ﬁnished cut by

overbucking (2) to meet the ﬁrst cut.

When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill

side of the log, as illustrated in Figure 6. When

“cutting through”, to maintain complete control

release the cutting pressure near the end of the

cut without relaxing your grip on the Chainsaw

handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After

completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop

before you move the Chainsaw. Always stop the

motor before moving from tree to tree.

VIBRATION INFORMATION

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined

according to EN 60745:

Vibration emission value

ah = 3.423m/s2 Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²

The declared vibration total value may be used for

comparing one tool with another, and may also be

used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value

during actual use of the power tool can differ

from the declared value depending on the ways in

which the tool is used dependant on the following

examples and other variations on how the tool is

used:

How the tool is used and the materials being cut or

drilled.

The tool being in good condition and well maintained.

Using the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring

it is sharp and in good condition.

The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any

anti vibration accessories are used.

And the tool is being used as intended by its design

and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration

syndrome if its use is not adequately managed

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of

exposure level in the actual conditions of use

should also take account of all parts of the operating

cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off

and when it is running idle but not actually doing the

job. This may signiﬁcantly reduce the exposure level

over the total working period.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.

ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.

Maintain this tool in accordance with these

instructions and keep well lubricated (where

appropriate).

If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti

vibration accessories.

Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration

tool use across a number of days.

INTENDED USE

The Chainsaw is intended for sawing of trees, tree

trunks, branches, wooden beams, planks, etc. Cuts

can be sawed with or across the grain. This product is

not suitable for sawing mineral materials.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING! Do not install the battery pack

before it has been completely assembled.

Always use gloves when handling the chain.

CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY

1. Unpack all parts carefully. Remove the chain cover

by turning the chain tensioning knob in a counter-

clockwise direction. (See Fig. A1)

2. Place the Chainsaw on a solid, level surface.

3. Use only genuine Worx chains or those

recommended for Guide Bar.

4. Slide the chain in the slot around the guide bar.

Ensure the chain is in correct running direction by

comparing it to the chain icon on the guide bar, or

referring to the chain direction symbol found on

the saw body. Ensure the bar tensioning plate is

facing outward. (See Fig. A2)

5. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket, so that the

fastening bar hole and the two bar locating tabs

on the bar pad ﬁt into the keyway of the opening

on the guide bar. (See Fig. B1, B2)

6. Assure all parts are seated properly and hold chain

and guide bar in a level position. Make sure the

drive links are fully seated in the drive sprocket

(See Fig. C1), avoiding a kink as shown in Fig. C2.

If kink occurs, pick up on the chain at the guide bar

just ahead of the kink and then pull the kink out.

NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of

kinks.

7. Fit the chain cover and tighten the chain cover by

turning the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it

is tight. (See Fig. D)

8. The chain will stretch while cutting and lose

proper tension. When the chain becomes loose,

completely unscrew the chain tensioning knob

or turn the knob around three (3) full turns in a

counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the

chain tensioning knob to properly reset the chain

tension by repeating Steps 6-7 listed above.

WARNING: The chain is not yet

tensioned. Tensioning the chain applies

as described under “TENSIONING

CHAIN”. The chain now needs to be inspected

to make sure it is properly tensioned.

TENSIONING CHAIN (See Fig. E1, E2)

NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the chain

tension frequently when ﬁrst used and tighten when

the chain becomes loose around the guide bar.

WARNING:

Ɣ Removing the battery pack before adjusting saw

chain tension.

17

Cordless Chainsaw

EN

Ɣ Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

Ɣ Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose

chain will increase the risk of kickback. A loose

chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This may

injure operator and damage chain. A loose chain

will cause chain, bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.

1. Place the Chainsaw on any suitable ﬂat surface.

2. Turn the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it is

hand tight.

NOTE: The tension is automatically increased

while the chain tensioning knob is being turned

in a clockwise direction. The built-in ratchet

mechanism prevents the chain tension from

loosening.

3. Tilt the saw forward (See E1) where the guide bar

tip is pushed in an downward direction. This will

remove slack from the chain.

4. Fully tighten the chain tensioning knob by turning

it clockwise.

5. Double check the tension set by the automatic

chain tensioning knob. The correct chain tension

is reached when the chain can be raised approx.

Half the drivelink depth from the guide bar in the

center. This should be done by using one hand to

raise the chain against the weight of the machine.

(See Fig. E2)

NOTE: The chain is properly tensioned when it

can be lifted off of the Guide Bar and the drivelink

is within the rail of the Guide Bar.

NOTE: The chain will stretch while cutting and

lose proper tension. When the chain becomes

loose, completely unscrew the chain tensioning

knob or turn the knob around three full turns in

a counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the

chain tensioning knob to properly reset the chain

tension by repeating Steps 1-4 listed above.

LUBRICATION (See Fig. F)

IMPORTANT: The Chainsaw is not ﬁlled

with oil. It is essential to ﬁll with oil

before use. Never operate the Chainsaw

without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level,

as this will result in extensive damage to the

product.

NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend

on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is

automatically oiled during operation.

FILLING OIL TANK:

WARNING: Removing the battery pack

before ﬁlling the oil tank.

1. Set Chainsaw on any suitable surface with oil ﬁller

cap facing upward.

2. Clean area around the oil ﬁller cap with cloth and

unscrew the cap by turning it counter clockwise.

3. Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.

4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, reﬁt oil ﬁller

cap and tighten by turning clockwise until hand tight.

IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil

tank, small breather channels are provided

between the oil ﬁller cap and the strainer, to

prevent leakage, and ensure machine is left in a

horizontal position when not in use.

It is important to use bar and chain lubricant

(not provided) that is formulated to perform

over a wide temperature range with no dilution

required. This can be found at the location

where you purchased this saw or your local

hardware store. Do not use dirty, used or

otherwise contaminated oils. Damage may

occur to the bar or chain. Use of non approved

oil will void the warranty.

Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician

immediately. Keep out of reach of children.

Store away from heat or open ﬂame.

CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC OILER

Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be

checked by running the Chainsaw and pointing the tip

of the guide chain bar towards a piece of cardboard

or paper on the ground. If an increasing oil pattern

develops on the cardboard, the automatic oiler is

operating ﬁne. If there is no oil pattern, despite a full

oil reservoir, contact Worx customer service agent or

Worx approved service agent.

CAUTION: Do not touch the ground with

the chain. Ensure safety clearance of

30cm.

The following function check should be carried out at

regular intervals. Pull the front hand guard towards

the operator (position ) to deactivate chain brake.

To activate the chain brake, push front hand guard

forwards (position ).

NOTE: If the saw is unable to start, even though it is

assembled properly and working with fully charged

battery packs, then you should check if the chain brake

lever is in the correct position (position ).

8. CUTTING

IMPORTANT: Is the oil tank ﬁlled? Check

the Oil Level Window prior to starting and

regularly during operation (See Fig. M). Reﬁll

oil when oil level is low. A full oil tank will last

approx. 12 minutes of cutting depending on

sawing intensity and stops.

Check recent replaced chain tension about

every 10 minutes during operation.

(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.

(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on

the ground. This will keep the chain from touching

the ground as it cuts through the log.

Touching the ground while the chain is moving is

dangerous and will dull the chain.

(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand

to grip front handle and right hand to grip rear

handle. Use a ﬁrm grip. Thumbs and ﬁngers must

wrap around saw handles. (See Fig. N)

19

Cordless Chainsaw

EN

(4) Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep feet-shoulder

width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both

feet.

(5) When ready to make a cut, push the lock-out

button completely in with the right thumb and

squeeze the trigger. This will turn saw on. Releasing

the trigger will turn the saw off. Make sure the saw

is running at full speed before starting a cut.

(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain

against the wood. The wood should be as close to

the saw body as possible. Hold saw ﬁrmly in place

to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways

movement) of saw.

(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put

excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its

work. The motor will overload and can burn out.

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was intended.

(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running

at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the on/off

switch. Make sure the chain has stopped before

setting the saw down.

(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working

area until you are comfortable, using a ﬂuid

motion and a steady cutting rate.

Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced

kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of

kickback. However, kickback can still occur with this

saw.

The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.

• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running.

Use ﬁrm grip. Thumbs and ﬁngers must wrap

around saw handles.

• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure

they work properly.

• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.

• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps

your body from being in direct line with chain.

• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when

chain is moving.

• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.

Only cut one log at a time.

• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut

(boring into wood using guide bar nose).

• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that

may pinch chain.

• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous

cut.

• Use only the low-kickback chain and guide

bar that were supplied with this Chainsaw or

recommended.

• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp

with proper tension.

How to use Saw Safely

1. Use the Chainsaw only with secure footing.

2. Hold the Chainsaw at the right-hand side of your

body (See Fig. O).

3. The chain must be running at full speed before it

makes contact with the wood.

4. Use the bumper spikes to secure the saw onto the

wood before starting to cut.

5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while

cutting. (See Fig. P)

6. Do not operate the Chainsaw with arms fully

extended, attempt to saw areas which are difﬁcult

to reach, or stand on a ladder while sawing (See

Fig. Q).

Never use the Chainsaw above shoulder height

Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. R)

WARNING: When cutting a limb that is

under tension, use extreme caution. Be

alert for wood springing back. When wood

tension is released, limb could spring back and

strike operator causing severe injury or death.

When sawing logs supported on both ends, start

the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into

the log (overbuck) and then ﬁnish the cut (Z) from

below, in order to avoid contact of the Chainsaw with

the ground. When sawing logs supported on only

one end, start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of

the diameter into the log (underbuck) and ﬁnish the

cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log splitting or

jamming of the Chainsaw.

SAW MAINTENANCE

Follow maintenance instructions in this manual.

Proper cleaning of saw and chain and Guide Bar

maintenance can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect

and maintain saw after each use. This will increase the

service life of your saw.

NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback

can increase with each sharpening.

MAINTENANCE AND

STORAGE OF Chainsaw

1. Remove the battery pack

• When not in use

• Before moving from one place to another

• Before servicing

• Before changing accessories or attachments, such

as saw chain and guard

2. Inspect Chainsaw before and after each use.

Check saw closely if guard or other part has been

damaged. Check for any damage that may affect

operator safety or operation of saw. Check for

alignment or binding of moving parts. Check for

broken or damaged parts. Do not use Chainsaw if

damage affects safety or operation. Have damage

repaired by authorized service center. To locate an

authorized service center, visit www.worx.com.

3. Maintain Chainsaw with care.

• Never expose saw to rain or direct moisture.

• Keep chain sharp, clean, and lubricated for better

and safer performance.

• Follow steps outlined in this manual to sharpen

chain.

20

Cordless Chainsaw

EN

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.

• Keep all screws and nuts tight.

4. When servicing, use only identical replacement

parts.

5. When not in use, always store Chainsaw

• in a high or locked place, out of children’s reach

• in a dry place

• with bar and chain cover in place

Bar Maintenance

To maximize bar life, the following bar maintenance is

recommended.

The bar rails that carry the chain should be cleaned

before storing the tool or if the bar or chain appear to

be dirty.

The rails should be cleaned every time the chain is

removed.

To clean the Bar rails:

1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain. (see

section ASSEMBLY)

2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar tool,

clear the residue from the inner groove of the bar

(See Fig. S).

3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly

Conditions which require chain and guide bar

maintenance:

• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.

• Saw has to be forced through the cut.

• Inadequate supply of oil to the bar and chain.

Check the condition of the guide bar each time the

chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will damage the

chain and make cutting difﬁcult.

After each use, remove the battery pack, clean all

sawdust from the guide bar and sprocket hole.

When rail top is uneven, use a ﬂat ﬁle to restore

square edges and sides.

File Rail Edges

and Sides

Square

Worn Groove Correct Groove

Replace the guide bar when the groove is worn, the

guide bar is bent or cracked, or when excess heating or

burring of the rails occurs. If replacement is necessary,

use only the guide bar speciﬁed for your saw in

the repair parts list or on the decal located on the

Chainsaw.

Replacing Bar & Chain

Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or

when chain stops. Only use replacement chain noted

in this manual.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn

or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged

guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting

harder.

Fit the bar tensioning plate tab into the new bar by

tightening the screw clockwise. The tab protrusion (a)

must be ﬁtted into the bar hole. (See Fig. T)

SHARPENING SAW CHAIN

WARNING: Remove the battery pack

before servicing. Severe injury or death

could occur from electrical shock or body

contact with moving chain.

Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use

protective gloves when handling chain.

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more

safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, Guide

Bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain

into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few

large chips, chain is dull.

LUBRICATE SPROCKET

WARNING: Wear heavy duty gloves when

performing any maintenance or service to

this tool. Always remove the battery pack

before performing any service or maintenance

on this tool.

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the chain or bar

when lubricating the guide bar sprocket.

1. Clean the bar and sprocket

2. Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the gun into

the lubrication hole and inject grease until it

appears at the outside edge of the sprocket tip.

(See Fig. U)

3. To rotate the sprocket pull the chain by hand until

the ungreased side of the sprocket is in line with

the grease hole. Repeat the lubrication procedure.
