Cordless Chain Saw 
EN
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.
1.   Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.
2.   Turn the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) clockwise until 
it is hand tight.
NOTE: The tension is automatically increased while 
the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) 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 
(6) tip is pushed in an upward direction. This will 
remove slack from the chain.
4.   Fully tighten the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) 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 (7) can be raised approx. 
half the drivelink depth from the Guide Bar (6) 
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 (7) is properly tensioned when it 
can be lifted off of the Guide Bar (6) and the drivelink 
is within the rail of the Guide Bar (6).
NOTE: The Chain (7) will stretch while cutting 
and lose proper tension. When the chain becomes 
loose, completely unscrew the Chain Tensioning 
Knob (8) or turn the knob around three full turns 
in a counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the 
Chain Tensioning Knob (8) to properly reset the chain 
tension by repeating Steps 1-4 listed above.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE (Only for 
WG323E, WG323E.9)
Align and insert the handle of extension pole into the 
shaft. Rotate the locking knob clockwise to lock. (SEE 
Fig. F1, F2)
NOTE: Make sure that the shaft is firmly locked in 
place.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE TO THE 
MACHINE (See Fig G1)
Step1: Align and insert the pole connection bracket 
(29) into the saw.
Step2: Turn the Locking Knob (28) counterclockwise to 
tighten the extension pole to the machine.
NOTE: Make sure the extension pole is locked 
into position securely before operation.
REMOVING THE EXTENSION POLE (See Fig. G2)
Step1: Turn the Locking Knob (28) clockwise to loosen 
and pull it out.
Step2: Slide saw to disconnect the extension pole 
with the saw. 
WARNING!
• When using this machine with the Extension 
Pole, make sure that the battery pack has been 
removed.
ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH
The pole saw has a telescoping pole assembly that 
will extend from 2m (fully retracted) to 2.7m (fully 
extended).
Clamping level (26) is used to hold the pole in position 
at any extended length.
1.  To extend the pole, loosen the clamping lever as 
shown in Fig H. Pole will slide freely.
2.  Pull inner pole section out to desired length of 
extension. Note: only extend pole to minimum 
length required to reach limb that is being cut.
3.  To lock pole in position, tighten clamping lever as 
shown in Fig. H.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: The chain saw is not 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.
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend 
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is 
automatically oiled during operation.
FILLING OIL TANK:
WARNING: Removing the battery pack 
before filling the oil tank.
1.   Set chain saw on any suitable surface with Oil 
Filler Cap (3) facing upward.
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 tank is full.
4.   Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit Oil Filler 
Cap (3) and tighten by turning clockwise until hand 
tight.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil 
tank, small breather channels are provided 
between the Oil Filler Cap and the strainer, to 
prevent leakage, and ensure machine is left in a 
horizontal position (Oil Filler Cap (3) uppermost) 
when not in use.
It is important to use bar and chain lubricant 
(not provided) that is formulated to perform 
over a wide temperature range with no dilution 
required. This can be found at the location 
where you purchased this saw or your local 
hardware store. Do not use dirty, used or 
otherwise contaminated oils. Damage may 
occur to the bar or chain. Use of non approved 
oil will void the warranty.
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician 
immediately. Keep out of reach of children. 
Store away from heat or open flame.
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 chain bar (6) 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
