Lubrication - Worx WA0222 Manuel D'instructions

Filling the oil tank
WARNING: Removing the battery
pack before filling the oil tank.
1. Set the saw 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 (not
included) 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 (Oil Filler Cap
uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the
recommended standard bar and
chain oil (Grade: ISO VG32) to avoid
damage to the pole saw. This can
be found at the location where you
purchased this saw or your local
hardware store. Never use recycled/
old oil. 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.
OPERATION
Cutting

LUBRICATION

Important: The pole saw is not filled with oil. It is
essential to fill with oil before use. Never operate the
pole 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.
CUTTING
Important: Check the oil tank is filled prior
to starting and regularly during operation.
Refill oil when oil level is low. A full oil tank will
last approx. 35 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
Pole saw attachment
is dangerous and will dull the Chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Use a firm grip.
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw
handles. (See Fig. G)
(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-off
Button and Switch Trigger completely. This will
turn saw on. Releasing them 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.
See Fig. F
(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 lock-off button and switch trigger. 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.
See Fig. G
• 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.
• 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 re-entering a previous
cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide
Bar that were supplied with this pole saw or
recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
with proper tension.
