4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit
oil filler cap (4) and tighten.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of
the oil reservoir, small breather
channels are provided between the oil
filler cap and the strainer, to prevent
leakage ensure machine is left in a
horizontal position (oil filler cap (4)
uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the
recommended oil to avoid damage to the
chain saw. Never use recycled/old oil.
use of non approved oil will invalidate
the warranty.
OPERATIOn
1. SwITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. F)
ATTENTION: Check the voltage and
current supply: The voltage and
current supply must comply with the
ratings on the type plate.
For switching on the machine, press the
lock-off (3) button, then fully press the on/off
switch (2) and hold in this position. The lock-
off button (3) can now be released.
For switching off, release the on/off switch
(2).
Do not stop chain saw after sawing by
activating the front hand guard (kickback
brake).
2. CHAIN BRAKE (See Fig. G)
The chain brake is a safety mechanism
activated through the front hand guard
(5), when kickback occurs. Chain stops
immediately.
The following function check should be
carried out at regular intervals. Push front
hand guard (5) forwards (position
the chain saw. The chain must not start. To
deactivate the kickback brake, pull hand guard
(5) backwards (position
release On/Off switch (2)
Cutting
-Is the oil reservoir filled? Check oil level
gauge (19) prior to starting and regularly
during operation. Refill oil when oil level
is low. The oil tank filling will last approx.
Chain saw
) and start
). and
16minutes, depending on sawing intensity
and stops. (See Fig. H)
- Is the chain tension in order and is the chain
sharp? Check new replaced chain tension
approx. every 10 minutes during operation.
Upon initial operation, new chains can
lengthen considerably. The condition of the
chain influences the cutting performance.
Only a sharp chain protects from overload.
- Is the kickback deactivated and its function
ensured?
- Are you wearing the necessary protective
equipment? Wear safety glasses /goggles/
visor –safety helmet and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head,
hand, legs and feet is highly recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with saw chain.
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can
be checked by running the chain saw and
pointing the tip of the chain bar towards a
piece of cardboard or paper on the ground.
Caution: Do not touch the ground with the
chain. Ensure safety clearance of 20 cm.
If an increasing oil pattern developes, the
automatic
oiler is operating fine. If there is no oil
pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, see
"Troubleshooting" or contact WORX customer
service agent or approved service agent.
Kickback (See Fig. G)
Kickback is the sudden backward/upward
motion of the chain saw, occurring when the
chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in
contact with a log or wood, or when the chain
becomes jammed.
When kickback occurs the chainsaw reacts
unpredictably and can cause severe injuries to
the operator or bystanders.
Particular attention must be given when
sawing sideward, slanted or during length
cuts, as the spiked bumper usually can not be
applied.
To avoid kickback:
- Saw with guide bar at a flat angle.
- Never work with a loose, widely stretched or
the heavily worn out chain.
