PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints;
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products;
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: This product can expose you
to chemicals including lead and Di(2-
ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) which are known
to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. For

GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Cordless Chainsaw EN
3
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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 a
fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
CHAIN SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the chain saw is operating.
Before you start the chain saw, make sure
the saw chain is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing
or body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand
on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with
a reversed hand configuration increases the risk
of personal injury and should never be done.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting
a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool live and could give the operator an
electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may
result in personal injury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate
the chain saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension
be alert for spring back. When the tension
in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded
limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
chain saw out of control.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush
and saplings. The slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
9. Carry the chain saw by the front handle
with the chain saw switched off and away
from your body. When transporting or
storing the chain saw always fit the guide
bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with
the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
Cordless Chainsaw EN
4
chain saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
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 chain saw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
- 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.
- 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.
- Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
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 conductive
materials. 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 a 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 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.
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 pack 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 (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.
t) Retain the original product literature for
future reference.
u) Use only the battery pack in the application
for which it was intended.
v) Remove the battery from the equipment
when not in use.
w) 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
Cordless Chainsaw EN
5
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.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill
side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the
expected line of fall as illustrated in Figure 1.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of
the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind
direction to judge which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and
wire from the tree.
2. Notching undercut
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree,
perpendicular to the direction of falls as illustrated in
Figure 1. Make the lower horizontal notching cut (W)
first. This will help to avoid pinching either the saw
chain or the guide bar when the second notch (X) is
being made.
3. Felling back cut
Make the felling back cut (Y) at least 50 mm higher
than the horizontal notching cut as illustrated in
Figure 1. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the
horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut
so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge
wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the
wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should
begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may
not fall in desired direction or it may rock back and
bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling
back cut is complete and use wedges of wood,
plastic or aluminium (Z) to open the cut and drop the
tree along the desired line of fall ( ).
When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw
from the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw
down, then use the retreat path planned ( ). Be alert
for overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.

4. Limbing a tree
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
When limbing leave larger lower limbs to support
the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in
one cut as illustrated in Figure 2. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid
binding the chain saw.

5. Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to
make sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly
distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should
be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or
chocks. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire length as
illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut from the top (overbuck),
avoid contacting ground as this will greatly reduce the
chain sharpness.

completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop
before you move the chain saw. Always stop the
motor before moving from tree to tree.

INTENDED USE
The chainsaw 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 install the battery
pack before it has been completely
assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the chain.
CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack all parts carefully. Remove the chain
cover by turning the chain tensioning knob in a
counter-clockwise direction. (See Fig. A1)
2. Place the chainsaw on a solid, level surface.
3. Use only genuine Worx chains or those
recommended for Guide Bar.
4. Slide the chain in the slot around the guide bar.
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 found
on the saw body. Ensure the bar tensioning plate
is facing outward. (See Fig. A2)
5. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket, so that the
fastening bar bolt and the bar locating tabs on
the bar pad fit into the keyway of the opening on
the guide bar. (See Fig. B1, B2)
6. Assure all parts are seated properly and hold
chain and guide bar in a level position. 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 and tighten the chain cover by
turning the chain tensioning knob clockwise until
it is tight. (See Fig. D)
8. The chain will stretch while cutting and lose
proper tension. When the chain becomes loose,
completely unscrew the chain tensioning knob
or turn the knob around three (3) full turns in a
counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the
chain tensioning knob to properly reset the chain
tension by repeating Steps 6-7 listed above.
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 becomes loose around the guide bar.
WARNING:
Removing the battery pack 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 chainsaw on any suitable flat surface.
2. Turn the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it
is hand tight.
NOTE: The tension is automatically increased
while the chain tensioning knob is being turned
in a clockwise direction. The built-in ratchet
EN: Injecting grease to lubricate
ES: Inyectando grasa para lubricar
F: Injectez la graisse pour lubrifier
U
Cordless Chainsaw EN
16
mechanism prevents the chain tension from
loosening.
3. Tilt the saw forward (See E1) where the guide bar
tip is pushed in an downward direction. This will
remove slack from the chain.
4. Fully tighten the chain tensioning knob 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 can be raised approx.
Half the drivelink depth(3-5mm) from the guide
bar 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 is properly tensioned when it
can be lifted off of the guide bar and the drivelink
is within the rail of the guide bar.
NOTE: The chain will stretch while cutting and
lose proper tension. When the chain becomes
loose, completely unscrew the chain tensioning
knob or turn the knob around three (3) full turns
in a counter-clockwise direction, then retighten
the chain tensioning knob to properly reset the
chain tension by repeating Steps 1-4 listed above.
LUBRICATION (SEE FIG. F)
IMPORTANT: The chainsaw is not filled
with oil. It is essential to fill with oil
before use. Never operate the chainsaw
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 chainsaw on any suitable surface with oil filler
cap 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 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 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.
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 chainsaw and pointing the tip
of the guide chain bar 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
12”.

NOTE: The chain brake must be activated in order
for the saw to be switched on.
7. CHAIN BRAKE LEVER (SEE FIG. L)
The chain brake lever is a safety mechanism
activated through the front hand guard, when
kickback occurs. Chain stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at
regular intervals. Pull the front hand guard towards
the operator (position ) to deactivate chain brake.
To activate the chain brake, push front hand guard
forwards (position ).
NOTE: If the saw is unable to start, even though it is
assembled properly and working with fully charged
battery packs, then you should check if the chain
brake lever is in the correct position (position ).
8. CUTTING
Important: Is the oil tank filled? Check
the Oil Level Window prior to starting
and regularly during operation (See Fig.
M). Refill oil when oil level is low. A full oil
tank will last approx. 12 minutes of cutting
depending on sawing intensity and stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about
every 10 minutes during operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on
the ground. This will keep the chain from touching
the ground as it cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the chain is moving is
dangerous and will dull the chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand
to grip front handle and right hand to grip rear
handle. Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must
wrap around saw handles. (See Fig. N)
(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-
shoulder width apart. Distribute your weight
evenly on both feet.
(5) When ready to make a cut, push the lock-out
button completely in with the right thumb
and squeeze the trigger. This will turn saw on.
Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off. Make
Cordless Chainsaw EN
18
sure the saw is running at full speed before
starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close
to the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly
in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating
(sideways movement) of saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not
put excessive force on the saw, letting the saw
do its work. The motor will overload and can burn
out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the on/off
switch. Make sure the chain has stopped before
setting the saw down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid
motion and a steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of
kickback. However, kickback can still occur with this
saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running.
Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around saw handles.
Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure
they work properly.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with chain.
Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when
chain is moving.
Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut
(boring into wood using guide bar nose).
Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that
may pinch chain.
Use extreme caution when reentering a previous
cut.
Use only the low-kickback chain and guide
bar that were supplied with this chainsaw or
recommended.
Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the chainsaw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the chainsaw at the right-hand side of your
body (See Fig. O).
3. The chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the bumper spikes to secure the saw onto
the wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. P)
6. Do not operate the chainsaw with arms fully
extended, attempt to saw areas which are difficult
to reach, or stand on a ladder while sawing (See
Fig. Q).
Never use the chainsaw above shoulder height
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (SEE FIG. R)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is
under tension, use extreme caution. Be
alert for wood springing back. When wood
tension is released, limb could spring back and
strike operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start
the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log (overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from
below, in order to avoid contact of the chainsaw with
the ground. When sawing logs supported on only
one end, start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of
the diameter into the log (underbuck) and finish the
cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log splitting or
jamming of the chainsaw.
SAW MAINTENANCE
Follow maintenance instructions in this manual.
Proper cleaning of saw and chain and guide bar
maintenance can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect
and maintain saw after each use. This will increase the
service life of your saw.
Note: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback
can increase with each sharpening.
MAINTENANCE AND
STORAGE OF CHAINSAW
1. Remove the battery pack
When not in use
Before moving from one place to another
Before servicing
Before changing accessories or attachments, such
as saw chain and guard
2. Inspect chainsaw before and after each use.

parts.
5. When not in use, always store chainsaw
in a high or locked place, out of childrens reach
Cordless Chainsaw EN
19
in a dry place
with bar and chain cover in place
Bar Maintenance
To maximize bar life, the following bar maintenance
is recommended.
The bar rails that carry the chain should be cleaned
before storing the tool or if the bar or chain appear
to be dirty.
The rails should be cleaned every time the chain is
removed.
To clean the Bar rails.
1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain. (see
section ASSEMBLY)
2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar tool,
clear the residue from the inner groove of the bar.
(See Fig. S)
3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly
Conditions which require chain and guide bar
maintenance:
Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
Saw has to be forced through the cut.
Inadequate supply of oil to the bar and chain.
Check the condition of the guide bar each time the
chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will damage
the chain and make cutting difficult.
After each use, remove the battery pack, clean all
sawdust from the guide bar and sprocket hole.
When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to restore
square edges and sides.
File Rail Edges
and Sides
Square
Worn Groove Correct Groove
Replace the guide bar when the groove is worn, the
guide bar is bent or cracked, or when excess heating
or burring of the rails occurs. If replacement is
necessary, use only the Guide Bar specified for your
saw in the repair parts list or on the decal located on
the chainsaw.
Replacing Bar & Chain
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen
or when chain stops. Only use replacement chain
noted in this manual.
Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn
or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged
guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting
harder.
Fit the bar tensioning plate tab into the new bar by
tightening the screw clockwise. The tab protrusion (a)
must be fitted into the bar hole. (See Fig. T)
SHARPENING SAW CHAIN
WARNING: Remove the battery pack
before servicing. Severe injury or death
could occur from electrical shock or body
contact with moving chain.
Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use
protective gloves when handling chain.
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more
safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, Guide
Bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain
into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few
large chips, chain is dull.
LUBRICATE SPROCKET
WARNING: Wear heavy duty gloves when
performing any maintenance or service to
this tool.
Always remove the battery pack before
performing any service or maintenance on this
tool.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the chain or bar
when lubricating the guide bar sprocket.
1. Clean the bar and sprocket
2. Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the gun into
the lubrication hole and inject grease until it
appears at the outside edge of the sprocket tip.
(See Fig. U)
3. To rotate the sprocket pull the chain by hand until
the ungreased side of the sprocket is in line with
the grease hole. Repeat the lubrication procedure.
