OPERATION INSTRUCTION
NOTE: Before using your tool be
sure to read the instruction manual
carefully.
INTENDED USE
The chain saw 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 connect the
chain saw to mains before it is
completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the
chain.
CHAIN AND CHAIN 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 (10) in the slot around the
14
Guide Bar (9). 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 (16) found on
the saw body. Ensure the Bar Tensioning
Plate (22) is facing outwards. (See Fig. A)
5. Fit the Chain onto the Drive Sprocket (15),
so that the Fastening Bar Hole (19) and the
two Bar Locating Tabs (20) on the Bar Pad
(18) fit into the keyway of the opening on
the Guide Bar (9). (See Fig. B1, B2)
6. Assure all parts are seated properly. 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 (12) and tighten
the Chain Cover by turning the Chain
Tensioning Knob (11) clockwise until it is
tight. (See Fig. D)
Chain saw
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 (10) becomes loose
around the Guide Bar (9).
WARNING:
• Unplug chain saw from power source
before adjusting saw chain tension.
• 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 (11)
clockwise until it is hand tight.
NOTE: The tension is automatically increased
while the Chain Tensioning Knob (11) is being
turned in a clockwise direction. The ratchet
mechanism prevents the chain tension from
loosening.
3. Tilt the saw forward (See E1) where the
Guide Bar (9) tip is pushed in an upward
direction. This will remove slack from the
chain.
4. Fully tighten the Chain Tensioning Knob (11)
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 (10) can be raised approx. half the
drivelink depth from the Guide Bar (9) in
the center. This should be done by using
one hand to raise the chain against the
weight of the machine. (See Fig. E2)
