Chain And Guide Bar Assembly - Worx WG322 Manual De Instrucciones

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 (23) 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).

chain saw (WG322 WG322.9 WG323 WG323.9)
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.
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.
