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 reservoir is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank,
refit Oil Filler Cap and tighten by turning
clockwise until hand tight.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of
the oil reservoir, small breather
channels are provided between the oil
filler cap and the strainer, to prevent
leakage ensure machine is left in a
horizontal position (Oil Filler Cap (4)
uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the
recommended standard bar and chain
oil (Grade: ISO VG32) to avoid damage
to the chain saw. This can be found at
the location you purchased this saw or
your local hardware store. Never use
recycled/old oil. Use of non approved oil
will invalidate the warranty.
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 bar (7) 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 12 inches.
OPERATION
1. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. F)
ATTENTION: Check the voltage and
current supply: The voltage and
current supply must comply with the
ratings on the product plate.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-
off Button (3), then fully press the On/Off
Switch (2) and hold in this position. The Lock-
off Button can now be released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.
After sawing, do not stop the chain saw by
Electric Chain Saw
activating the Chain Stop Lever (Hand Guard)
(5).
2. CHAIN STOP LEVER (HAND GUARD)
(See Fig. G1)
The Chain Stop Lever (Hand Guard) (5) is a
safety mechanism that causes the Chain (8)
to quickly stop. In many cases when kickback
occurs the operator's hand strikes the Chain
Stop Lever (Hand Guard) causing it to
activate. When activated, the moving Chain
quickly stops.
The following function check should be
carried out at regular intervals. Push the
Chain Stop Lever (Hand Guard) (5) forwards
(position ) and start the chain saw. The Chain
should not move. To deactivate the Chain Stop
Lever, release the On/Off Switch (2) and pull
the Chain Stop Lever (Hand Guard) backwards
(position ) (See Fig. G1).
CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil reservoir filled?
Check the Oil Level Window (19) prior to
starting and regularly during operation. Refill
oil when oil level is low. A full oil tank will last
approx. 20 minutes depending on sawing
intensity and stops (See Fig. G2).
Check recent replaced chain tension about
every 10 minutes during operation.
1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect
extension cord to power supply (See Fig.
G3).
2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not
laying on the ground. This will keep the
Chain (8) 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 and right
hand to grip rear handle. Use a firm grip.
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
saw handles (See Fig. H).
4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep
shoulder width feet apart. Divide your
weight evenly on both feet.
5. When ready to make a cut, push the
Lock-off Button (3) completely in with the
right thumb and squeeze the trigger. This
