chain. A loose chain will cause chain,
chain bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.
1. Place the chain saw on any suitable flat
surface.
2. Turn the locking knob/ chain tensioning
knob (10) clockwise until the locking knob
is screwed tightly. The correct chain tension
will be reached automatically.
The ratchet mechanism(a)E2 prevents the
chain tension from loosening.(See Fig. E2)
3. The correct chain tension is reached when
the chain (8) can be raised approx. 3 – 6
mm from the chain bar in the centre. This
should be done by using one hand to
raise the chain against the weight of the
machine. (See Fig. E1)
4. When the chain looses, unscrew the locking
knob/ chain tensioning knob absolutely
and then Screw on the cover plate with the
locking knob tightly again.
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.
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on
optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is
automatically oiled during operation via oil
outlet.
Filling oil tank:
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with
oil filler cap facing upward.
2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with
cloth unscrew cap.
3. Add wORX chain saw oil until reservoir is
full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit
oil filler cap (4) and tighten.
IMPORtANt: to allow venting of
the oil reservoir, small breather
channels are provided between the oil
filler cap and the strainer, to prevent
leakage ensure machine is left in a
horizontal position (oil filler cap (4)
uppermost) when not in use.
Electric chain saw
It is important to use only the
recommended oil to avoid damage to the
chain saw. Never use recycled/old oil.
use of non approved oil will invalidate
the warranty.
Checking the automatic oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can
be checked by running the chain saw and
pointing the tip of the chain bar towards a
piece of cardboard or paper on the ground.
Caution: Do not touch the ground with the
chain. Ensure safety clearance of 20 cm.
If an increasing oil pattern developes, the
automatic oiler is operating fine. If there is no
oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, contact
WORX customer service agent or approved
service agent.
OPERATIOn
1. SwItCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. F)
AttENtION! Check the voltage and
current supply: the voltage and
current supply must comply with the
ratings on the type plate.
For switching on the machine, press the
lock-off button, then fully press the on/off
switch and hold in this position. The lock-off
button can now be released.
For switching off, release the on/off switch.
Do not stop chain saw after sawing by
activating the front hand guard (kickback
brake).
2. KICKBACK BRAKE (See Fig. G1)
The kickback brake is a safety mechanism
activated through the front hand guard
(5), when kickback occurs. Chain stops
immediately.
the following function check should be
carried out at regular intervals. Pull front
hand guard (5) forwards (position )and start
the chain saw. The chain must not start. To
deactivate the kickback brake, release On/Off
switch (2) and push hand guard (5) backwards
(position ).
CuttING
Is the oil reservoir filled? Check oil level gauge
