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.

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

11

Cordless Chain Saw

EN

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 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.

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, 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.

13

Cordless Chain Saw

EN

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. (See Figure 1)

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.

Fig.2

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.

F

ig.3

When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated

in Figure 4, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (

underbuck) (1). Then make the finished cut by overbucking

(2) to meet the first cut.

to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure

near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the

chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground.

After 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.

VIBRATION INFORMATION

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined ac-

cording to EN 60745:

Vibration emission value

ah < 2.5 m/s2 Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s

The declared vibration total value may be used for

comparing one tool with another, and may also be used in a

preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value during

actual use of the power tool can differ from the

declared value depending on the ways in which the

tool is used dependant on the following examples and

other variations on how the tool is used:

How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.

The tool being in good condition and well maintained.

Using the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is

sharp and in good condition.

The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti

vibration accessories are used.

And the tool is being used as intended by its design and

these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if

its use is not adequately managed

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of

exposure level in the actual conditions of use

should also take account of all parts of the

operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched

off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job.

This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the

total working period.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.

ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.

Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and

keep well lubricated (where appropriate).

If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration

accessories.

Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool

use across a number of days.

INTENDED USE

The chain saw 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.

2. Place the chain saw on a solid, level surface.

3. Use only genuine Worx chains or those recommended

for Guide Bar.

4. Slide the Chain (7) in the slot around the Guide Bar

(6). 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 (17) found on

the saw body. Ensure the Bar Tensioning Plate (24) is

facing outward. (See Fig. A)

5. Fit the Chain onto the Drive Sprocket (16), so that the

Fastening Bar hole (20) and the two Bar Locating

Tabs (21) on the Bar Pad (19) fit into the keyway of the

opening on the Guide Bar (6). (See Fig. B1, B2)

6. Assure all parts are seated properly. 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 (9) and tighten the Chain Cover by

turning the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) clockwise until it

is tight. (See Fig. D)

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 (7)

becomes loose around the Guide Bar (6).

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 chain saw on any suitable flat surface.

2. Turn the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) clockwise until it is

hand tight.

18

Cordless Chain Saw

EN

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.

Clamping level (26) is used to hold the pole in position at

any extended length.

1. To extend the pole, loosen the clamping lever as shown

in Fig H. Pole will slide freely.

2. Pull inner pole section out to desired length of

extension. Note: only extend pole to minimum length

required to reach limb that is being cut.

3. To lock pole in position, tighten clamping lever as shown

in Fig. H.

LUBRICATION

IMPORTANT The chain saw is not 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.

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.

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. I1,

I2, I3)

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. J)

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. K1). 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 (7) 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(4) and right hand to grip Rear Handle (1).

Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around

saw handles. (See Fig. K2)

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

(15) 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 (2). 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 (6) that

were supplied with this chain saw or recommended.

• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with

proper tension.

How to use Saw Safely

1. Use the chain saw only with secure footing.

2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body

(See Fig. L).

3. The Chain (7) must be running at full speed before it

makes contact with the wood.

4. Use the Bumper Spikes (13) to secure the saw onto the

wood before starting to cut.

5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while

cutting. (See Fig. M)

6. Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended,

attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or

stand on a ladder while sawing (see Fig. N).

Never use the chain saw above shoulder height

CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See fig. O)

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 chain saw 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 chain saw.
