chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints;

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement

and other masonry products and

• 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

chemical:

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, phthalate or

bisphenol A which are known to the State of

California to cause cancer, birth defects or

GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

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 refer to your

electric (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 grounded power

tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is 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 energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry 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

Cordless Chainsaw EN

the rate for which it was designed.

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 tools operation.

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 and in the manner intended for

the particular type of power tool, 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.

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 s

urfaces only, because the saw chain may

contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

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 ﬁbers 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 apply 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

Chain saw for operations different than intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

Cordless Chainsaw EN

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 cells or

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

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,

Cordless Chainsaw EN

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 2. 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 2’’ higher than

the horizontal notching cut as illustrated in Figure

2. 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 3. 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.

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(For WG384.1)

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 hole and the two 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

Cordless Chainsaw EN

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 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 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 only the recommended

standard bar and chain oil (Grade: ISO VG32)

to avoid damage to the Chainsaw. This can be

found at the location where you purchased this

saw or your local hardware store. Never use

recycled/old oil. 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”.

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-

Cordless Chainsaw EN

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

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.

Check saw closely if guard or other part has been

damaged. Check for any damage that may affect

operator safety or operation of saw. Check for

alignment or binding of moving parts. Check for

broken or damaged parts. Do not use chainsaw if

damage affects safety or operation. Have damage

repaired by authorized service center. To locate an

authorized service center, visit www.worx.com.

3. Maintain chainsaw with care.

• Never expose saw to rain or direct moisture.

• Keep chain sharp, clean, and lubricated for better

and safer performance.

• Follow steps outlined in this manual to sharpen

chain.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and

Cordless Chainsaw EN

grease.

• Keep all screws and nuts tight.

4. When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts.

5. When not in use, always store chainsaw

• in a high or locked place, out of children’s reach

• 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 chain saw.

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: Unplug chainsaw from power

source 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 unplug the tool 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.

AVERTISSEMENTS

GENERAUX CONCERNANT

LA SECURITE DES OUTILS

ELECTRIQUES

AVERTISSEMENT! Lisez et assimilez

toutes les instructions. Le non-respect des

instructions ci-après peut entraîner un risque de choc

électrique, d’incendie et/ou de blessures graves.

Conservez tous les avertissements et

instructions pour pouvoir les consulter

ultérieurement.

L’expression « outil électrique » dans tous les

avertissements énumérés ci-dessous se réfère à votre

outil électrique fonctionnant sur secteur (branché) ou

à batterie (sans-ﬁl).

1. AIRE DE TRAVAIL

a) Veillez à ce que l’aire de travail soit propre

et bien éclairée. Le désordre et le manque de

lumière favorisent les accidents.

b) N’utilisez pas d’outils électriques dans un

milieu présentant un risque d’explosion, par

exemple en présence de liquides, de gaz

ou de poussières inﬂammables. Les outils

électriques créent des étincelles qui pourraient

enﬂammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.

c) Gardez à distance les curieux, les enfants et

les visiteurs lorsque vous travaillez avec un

outil électrique. Ils pourraient vous distraire et

vous faire faire une fausse manoeuvre.

2. SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE

a) Les ﬁches des outils électriques doivent

correspondre aux prises murales. Ne jamais

modiﬁer la ﬁche de quelque façon que ce

soit. Ne pas utiliser de ﬁches d’adaptation

avec des outils électriques mis à la terre

(mis à la masse). Des ﬁches non modiﬁées et des

prises qui leur correspondent réduiront le risque de

choc électrique.

b) Évitez tout contact corporel avec des

surfaces mises à la terre (tuyauterie,

radiateurs, cuisinières, réfrigérateurs, etc.).

Le risque de choc électrique est plus grand si votre

corps est en contact avec la terre.

c) N’exposez pas les outils électriques à la

pluie ou à l’eau. La présence d’eau dans un outil

électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.

d) Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne transportez

jamais l’outil par son cordon et ne débranchez

jamais la ﬁche en tirant sur le cordon.

N’exposez pas le cordon à la chaleur, à des huiles,

à des arrêtes vives ou à des pièces en mouvement.

Un cordon endommagé augmente le risque de choc

électrique.

e) Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à

l’extérieur, utilisez un prolongateur adapté

à une utilisation en extérieur. L’utilisation d’un

cordon adapté à une utilisation extérieure réduit le

risque de choc électrique.

f) Si vous devez utiliser un outil électrique

dans un endroit humide, utilisez un dispositif

de courant résiduel (RCD) d’alimentation

protégée. L’utilisation d’un RCD réduit le risque de

choc électrique.

3. SÉCURITÉ DES PERSONNES

a) Restez alerte, concentrez-vous sur votre

travail et faites preuve de bon sens. N’utilisez

pas un outil électrique si vous êtes fatigué

ou sous l’inﬂuence de drogues, d’alcool ou

de médicaments. Un instant d’inattention lors de

l’utilisation d’outils électriques peut entraîner des

blessures graves.

b) Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité.

Portez toujours une protection oculaire.

De l’équipement de sécurité tel que le masque

antipoussière, les chaussures de sécurité

antidérapantes, des casques durs ou des

protections antibruit utilisés dans des conditions

appropriées réduiront les blessures corporelles.

c) Évitez les démarrages accidentels. Avant

d’insérer la batterie dans l’outil, assurez-vous

que son interrupteur est en position « OFF »

(Arrêt) ou verrouillée. Le fait de transporter un
