or Worx approved service agent.
CAUTION: Do not touch the ground with 
the chain. Ensure safety clearance of 
30cm.
OPERATION 
1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS TOOL
WARNING! The charger and battery pack are 
specially designed to work together so do not 
attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or 
allow metallic objects into your charger or battery 
pack connections because of an electrical failure and 
hazard will occur.
NOTE: Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you 
must charge once before use.
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion 
battery installed in the machine. Do not use another 
battery charger.
2. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK 
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep 
discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine 
is switched off by means of a protective circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery 
pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow 
time for the battery to cool down before recharging.
3. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK 
(See Fig. I1, I2, I3)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to remove 
the Battery Pack from your tool. After recharging, 
insert the Battery Pack into the battery port. A simple 
push and slight pressure will be sufficient until a click 
is heard. Check to see if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it 
firmly to avoid dropping and injury.
4. Switching on and off (See Fig. J)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack before 
using your cordless tool. Only use the 
battery pack listed in the accessories section. 
 
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-Out 
Button (15), then fully press the On/Off Switch (2) and 
hold in this position. The Lock-Out Button can now be 
released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.  
5. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil tank filled? Check 
the Oil Level Window (14) prior to starting 
and regularly during operation (See Fig. K1). 
Refill oil when oil level is low. A full oil tank will 
last approx. 12 minutes of cutting depending on 
sawing intensity and stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about 
every 10 minutes during operation.
1)  Installing the battery pack into the machine.
2)  Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying 
on the ground. This will keep the chain (7) 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(4) and right hand to grip Rear 
Handle (1). Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers 
must wrap around saw handles. (See Fig. K2) 
4)  Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-shoulder 
width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both 
feet.
5)  When ready to make a cut, push the Lock-Out 
Button (15) completely in with the right thumb 
and squeeze the trigger. This will turn saw on. 
Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off. Make 
sure the saw is running at full speed before 
starting a cut.
6)  When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain 
against the wood. The wood should be as close to 
the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place 
to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways 
movement) of saw.
7)  Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put 
excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its 
work. The motor will overload and can burn out. 
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for 
which it was intended.
8)  Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running 
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/off 
Switch (2). Make sure the chain has stopped before 
setting the saw down.
9)  Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working 
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion 
and a steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced 
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of 
kickback. However, kickback can still occur with this 
saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
•   Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. 
Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap 
around saw handles.
•   Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure 
they work properly.
•   Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
•   Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
•   Stand slightly to the 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 
(6) that were supplied with this chain saw or 
recommended. 
•   Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
