1. Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.
2. Turn the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) clockwise until it is
hand tight.
NOTE: The tension is automatically increased while the
Chain Tensioning Knob (8) is being turned in a clockwise
direction. The built-in ratchet mechanism prevents the
chain tension from loosening.
3. Tilt the saw forward (See E1) where the Guide Bar (6) tip
is pushed in an upward direction. This will remove slack
from the chain.
4. Fully tighten the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) 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 (7) can be raised approx. half the
drivelink depth from the Guide Bar (6) in the center. This
should be done by using one hand to raise the chain
against the weight of the machine. (See Fig. E2)
NOTE: The Chain (7) is properly tensioned when it can be
lifted off of the Guide Bar (6) and the drivelink is within the
rail of the Guide Bar (6).
NOTE: The Chain (7) will stretch while cutting and lose
proper tension. When the chain becomes loose, completely
unscrew the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) or turn the knob
around three full turns in a counter-clockwise direction,
then retighten the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) to properly
reset the chain tension by repeating Steps 1-4 listed above.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: The chain saw is not filled with oil.
It is essential to fill with oil before use. Never
18
operate the chain saw without chain oil or at an
empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive
damage to the product.
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is
automatically oiled during operation.
FILLING OIL TANK:
WARNING: Removing the battery pack before
filling the oil tank.
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with Oil Filler Cap
(3) facing upward.
2. Clean area around the Oil Filler Cap with cloth and
unscrew the cap by turning it counter clockwise.
3. Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit Oil Filler Cap
(3) and tighten by turning clockwise until hand tight.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil tank,
small breather channels are provided between
the Oil Filler Cap and the strainer, to prevent
leakage, and ensure machine is left in a horizontal
position (Oil Filler Cap (6) uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use bar and chain lubricant (not
provided) that is formulated to perform over a wide
temperature range with no dilution required. This can
be found at the location where you purchased this saw
or your local hardware store. Do not use dirty, used or
otherwise contaminated oils. Damage may occur to
the bar or chain. Use of non approved oil will void the
warranty.
Cordless Chain Saw
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store away
from heat or open flame.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC OILER
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked
by running the chain saw and pointing the tip of the Guide
chain bar (6) towards a piece of cardboard or paper on
the ground. If an increasing oil pattern develops on the
cardboard, the automatic oiler is operating fine. If there
is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, contact Worx
customer service agent or Worx approved service agent.
CAUTION: Do not touch the ground with the
chain. Ensure safety clearance of 30cm.
OPERATION
1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS TOOL
WARNING! The charger and battery pack are
specially designed to work together so do not
attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or
allow metallic objects into your charger or battery pack
connections because of an electrical failure and hazard will
occur.
NOTE: Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you must
charge once before use.
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion
battery installed in the machine. Do not use another battery
charger.
2. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging.
When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by
means of a protective circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack
may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the
battery to cool down before recharging.
3. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See Fig. F1,
F2)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to remove the
Battery Pack from your tool. After recharging, insert the
Battery Pack into the battery port. A simple push and slight
pressure will be sufficient until a click is heard. Check to see
if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it firmly
to avoid dropping and injury.
4. Switching on and off (See Fig. G)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack before
using your cordless tool. Only use the battery
pack listed in the accessories section.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-Out Button
(15), then fully press the On/Off Switch (2) and hold in this
position. The Lock-Out Button can now be released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.
5. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil tank filled? Check the Oil
Level Window (14) prior to starting and
regularly during operation (See Fig. H1). Refill
oil when oil level is low. A full oil tank will last approx.
