chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not use
pruning saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
pruning saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
l) This pruning saw is not intended for tree felling.
Use of the pruning saw for operations different
than intended could result in serious injury to the
operator or bystanders.
m) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the pruning saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack
is removed. Unexpected actuation of the pruning
saw while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
n) Recommendation that the first-time user
should, as a minimum, practise cutting logs on a
saw-horse or cradle.
o) Recommendation to have sharpening and
maintenance of the saw chain performed by
authorised service centres.
2) Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in 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 pruning saw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
Kickback is the result of pruning 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 pruning 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
pruning saw.
b) Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact
and enables better control of the pruning 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
20V 5'' Chain Saw
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
Safety Warnings for battery pack
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred battery pack.
b) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
c) 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 other metal objects. When
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
fire.
d) Do not remove battery pack from its original
packaging until required for use.
e) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
f) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice.
g) Observe the plus (+) and minus (–) marks on the
battery back and equipment and ensure correct
use.
h) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
i) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
j) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery has been swallowed.
k) Always purchase the battery pack
recommended by the device manufacturer for
the equipment.
l) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
m) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean
dry cloth if they become dirty.
n) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always use the correct charger and refer to
the manufacturer's instructions or equipment
manual for proper charging instructions.
o) Do not leave battery pack on prolonged charge
when not in use.
p) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
q) Battery pack gives its best performance when it
is operated at normal room temperature (68 °F ±
9 °F)(20 °C ± 5 °C).
r) When disposing of battery packs, keep battery
packs of different electrochemical systems
separate from each other.
s) 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.
