• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with
chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything
when chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same
time. Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try
plunge cut (boring into wood using Guide
Bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces
that may pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a
previous cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide
Bar (9) that were supplied with this chain
saw.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
HOW TO USE SAW SAFELY
1. Use the chain saw only with secure
footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side
of your body. (See Fig. I)
3. The Chain (10) must be running at full
speed before it makes contact with the
wood.
4. Use the metal Bumper Spikes (8) to secure
the saw onto the wood before starting to
cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point
while cutting. (See Fig. J)
6. Do not operate the chain saw with arms
fully extended, or attempt to saw areas
which are difficult to reach, or stand on a
ladder while sawing. (See Fig. K)
Never use the chain saw above shoulder
height.
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See
Fig. L)
WARNING: When cutting a limb
that is under tension, use extreme
caution. Be alert for wood springing
back. When wood tension is released,
limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends,
start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log and then finish the cut
(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of
the chain saw with the ground. When sawing
logs supported on only one end, start the cut
from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log and finish the cut from above (Z) in
order to avoid log splitting or jamming of the
chain saw.
SAW MAINTENANCE
Follow maintenance instructions in this
manual. Proper cleaning of saw and chain and
Guide Bar maintenance can reduce chances
of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw after
each use. This will increase the service life of
your saw.
NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of
kickback can increase with each sharpening.
MAINTENANCE AND
STORAGE OF CHAIN SAW
If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
1. Unplug chain saw from power source
• 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 chain saw 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 chain saw 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 chain saw with care.
• Never expose saw to rain.
