and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the saw which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built
into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands
on the saw and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
b) Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide
bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback .
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
Residual risks
Even with the intended use of the appliance there
is always a residual risk, which can not prevented.
According to the type and construction of the
appliance the following potential hazards might apply:
-
Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain
(cutting hazards)
-
Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards)
-
Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar (cutting
hazards)
-
Flung out of parts from the saw chain (Cutting / injection
hazards)
-
Flung out of parts of the work piece
-
Skin contact with the oil
-
Loss of hearing, if no required ear protection used during
work.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BAT-
TERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. When
Cordless Chainsaw
battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected area
with copious amounts of water and seek medical
advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not
in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best performance when it
is operated at normal room temperature (20 °C ±
5 °C).
m) When disposing of battery packs, keep battery
packs of different electrochemical systems
separate from each other.
n) Recharge only with the charger specified by
Worx. Do not use any charger other than that
specifically provided for use with the equipment.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
o) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
p) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
q) Retain the original product literature for future
reference.
r) Remove the battery from the equipment when
not in use.
s) Dispose of properly.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions concerning the proper techniques for
basic felling, limbing, and cross-cutting
1. Felling a tree
When bucking and felling operations are being performed
by two or more persons at the same time, the felling
operations should be separated from the bucking
operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the
tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner
that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or
cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact
with any utility line, the company should be notified
immediately.
