If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration and noise accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration
tool use across a number of days.
4. 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
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,
16
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 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 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
20V 30cm Cordless BL ChainSaw
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
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.
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
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:
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.
