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 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.
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
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
Cordless Chainsaw
Correct Groove
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. S)
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. T).
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.
