Lubrication; Important - Worx WG300 Mode D'emploi

ASSEMBLY
WARNING! Do not connect the
chain saw to the power supply
before it is completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the
chain.
CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack all parts carefully.
2. Place the chain saw on a solid, level
surface.
3. Use only genuine WORX chains
designed for chainbar.
4. Slide the Chain (8) in the slot around the
Guide bar (7). Ensure the Chain is in correct
running direction by comparing it to the
Chain Direction Symbol (14) found on
the saw body (See Fig. B). Ensure the Bar
Tensioning Plate (18) is facing outward (See
Fig. A).
5. Fit the Chain onto the Drive Sprocket (13),
so that the Fastening Bar Bolt (17) and
the two Bar Locating Tabs (15) on the Bar
Clamp (21) fit into the keyway of of the
opening on the Guide Bar (7).
6. Check to see if all parts are seated properly
(See Fig. C1).

7 . Fit the Chain Cover (11) ensure that the
Chain Catch (20) slides properly into the
Chain Cover (See Fig. C2).
8. Tighten the Chain Cover by turning the
Chain Tensioning Knob (10) clockwise until
it is tight (See Fig. D).
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
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check
chain tension frequently when first used and
tighten when the Chain (8) becomes loose
around the Guide Bar (7).
WARNING:
• Unplug chain saw from power source
before adjusting saw chain tension.
Electric Chain Saw
• Cutting edges on chain are sharp.
Use protective gloves when handling
chain.
• 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 chain saw on any suitable flat
surface.
2. Turn the Chain Tensioning Knob (10)
clockwise until it is hand tight. The tension
is automatically set while the Chain
Tensioning Knob is being tightened. The
ratchet mechanism (a) prevents the chain
tension from loosening (See Fig. E2).
3. Double check the tension set by the
automatic Chain Tensioning Knob. The
correct chain tension is reached when the
Chain (8) can be raised approx. 0.12– 0.24
inch (3-6mm) from the Guide Bar (7) in the
center. This should be done by using one
hand to raise the chain against the weight
of the machine (See Fig. E1).
Use a screwdriver to move chain around
Guide Bar to ensure kinks do not exist. The
chain should rotate freely (See Fig. E3).
4. The Chain will stretch from use and lose
proper tension. To turn knob counter
clockwise (3x), secure the chain cover, and
retension the chain simply repeat steps 1 -
3 listed above .

LUBRICATION

IMPORTANT: The chain saw is
not supplied filled with oil. It is
essential to fill with oil before use. Never
operate the chain saw 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:
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with
Oil Filler Cap (4) facing upward.
