ASSEMBLY  
WARNING! Do not install the battery pack 
before it has been completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the chain.
MOUNTING THE SAW CHAIN
1.  Unpack all parts carefully. Remove the Housing-
Cover by turning the Housing-Cover Knob in a 
counterclockwise direction. (See Fig. A1)
2.  Place the pruning saw 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, or 
referring to the chain direction symbol found on the 
saw body. (See Fig. A2)
5.  Fit the Chain onto the Drive Sprocket, so that the 
Fastening Bar Bolt and the Bar Locating Tab on the 
Bar Pad fit into the keyway of the opening on the 
Guide Bar. (See Fig. B1, B2)
6.  Assure all parts are seated properly. 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 the Chain at the Guide Bar just ahead 
of the kink and then pull the kink out.
  NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of kinks.
7.  Fit the Housing-Cover and tighten the Housing-
Cover by turning the Housing-Cover Knob clockwise 
until it is tight. (See Fig. D)
WARNING: The Chain is not yet tensioned. 
Tensioning the Chain applies as described 
under “TENSIONING CHAIN”. The chain now needs to 
be inspected to make sure it is properly tensioned.
TENSIONING CHAIN (See Fig. E1, E2, E3)
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the chain 
tension frequently when first used and tighten when 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.
1.  Place the pruning saw on any suitable flat surface.
2.  Loosen the Housing-Cover Knob a bit to loosen the 
Housing-Cover lightly.
3.  Adjust the chain tension. Turn the Chain Tensioning 
Screw clockwise to tighten. (See Fig. E1)
4.  The correct chain tension is reached when the Chain 
can be raised approx. half the drivelink depth from 
the Guide Bar in the center. (See Fig. E2) This should 
be done by using one hand to raise the chain against 
the weight of the machine.
5.  Tighten the Housing-Cover Knob to secure the 
Housing-Cover. (See Fig. E3)
  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 naturally stretch and lose 
proper tension under general use. To re-tention, 
repeat steps 1-5 listed above.
LUBRICATION
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend on 
optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain should 
be oiled before operation.
IMPORTANT: It is important to use bar and 
chain lubricant 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 oil. 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.
1.  Switch off the pruning saw and remove the battery.
2.  Place the pruning saw on a level surface with the 
sprocket cover facing up.
3.  Clean the Guide Bar and Saw Chain with a soft brush 
or solvent.
4.  Apply multifunctional oil in area (a) between Guide 
Bar and Saw Chain. (See Fig. F)
5.  Fit the battery. Switch on the pruning saw.
Multifunctional oil is evenly distributed over the Chain. 
The Saw Chain is lubricated.
