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 or
those recommended for Guide Bar.
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 icon on the guide bar, or referring to
the Chain Direction Symbol found on the
saw body. Ensure the Bar Tensioning Plate
(18) is facing outwards. (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.
NOTE: The tension is automatically
increased while the Chain Tensioning Knob
(10) is being turned in a clockwise direction.
The built-in ratchet mechanism 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. half the
drivelink depth 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)
NOTE: The Chain (8) is properly tensioned
when it can be lifted off of the Guide Bar
(7) and the drivelink is within the rail of the
Guide Bar (7).
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 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
counterclockwise direction, then retighten
the Chain Tensioning Knob to properly
reset the chain tension by repeating Step
1-3 listed above.
