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 connect the
chain saw to mains before it is
completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the
chain.
CHAIN AND CHAIN BAR ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack all parts carefully.
2. Place the chain saw on any suitable flat
surface.
3. Use only genuine WORX chains
designed for chainbar.
4. Slide the chain (8) in the slot around the
chain bar (7). Ensure chain is in correct
running direction by comparing with chain
symbol (14). Ensure the chain tensioning catch
(18) is facing outwards. (See Fig. A)
5. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket (13) and
guide the chain bar (7), so that the fastening
bolt (17) and the two guide fins (15) fit into the
keyway of the chain bar(7). (See Fig. B)
6. Check if all parts are seated properly and
hold chain and chain bar in a level position.
(See Fig. C1)
7. Fit cover plate, ensure that the chain catcher
(20) fits into the groove of the cover plate(11).
(See Fig. C2)
8. Screw on the cover plate (11) with the
locking knob (10). (See Fig. D)
The chain is not yet tensioned. Tensioning the
chain applies as described under "Tensioning
chain" .
TENSIONING CHAIN
Always check the chain tension before use,
after the first cuts and regularly during
use, approx. every 10 minutes. Upon
initial operation, new chains can lengthen
considerably.
Chain saw
WARNING: Unplug chain saw from
power source before adjusting saw
chain tension.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain
are sharp. Use protective gloves
when handling chain.
WARNING: 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,
chain bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.
The chain life of the saw chain
mainly depends upon sufficient
lubrication and correct tensioning.
Avoid tensioning the chain if it is
hot, as this will cause the chain to
become over tensioned when it cools
down.
1. Place the chain saw on any suitable flat
surface.
2. Turn the locking knob/ chain tensioning
knob (10) clockwise until the locking knob
is screwed tightly. The correct chain tension
will be reached automatically. The ratchet
mechanism prevents the chain tension from
loosening. (See Fig. E2)
3. The correct chain tension is reached when
the chain (8) can be raised approx. 3 – 6 mm
from the chain bar in the centre. This should
be done by using one hand to raise the chain
against the weight of the machine. (See Fig.
E1)
4. When the chain looses, unscrew the locking
knob/ chain tensioning knob absolutely and
then Screw on the cover plate with the locking
knob tightly again.
LUBRICATIOn
IMPORTANT: The chain saw is
not supplied 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.
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on
optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is
