from overhead electrical power lines.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow
the liquid to come into contact with the skin
or eyes. If contact has been made, wash
the affected area with copious amounts of
water and seek medical advice.
f) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
g) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a
clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
h) Battery pack needs to be charged before
use. Always refer to this instruction and use
the correct charging procedure.
i) Do not maintain battery pack on charge
when not in use.
j) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge
the battery pack several times to obtain
maximum performance.
k) Recharge only with the charger specified
by Worx. Do not use any charger other than
that specifically provided for use with the
equipment.
l) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
m) Keep battery pack out of the reach of
children.
n) Retain the original product literature for
future reference.
o) Remove the battery from the equipment
when not in use.
p) Dispose of properly.
q) Do not mix cells of different manufacture,
capacity, size or type within a device.
r) Keep the battery away from microwaves and
high pressure.

Instructions concerning the proper techniques
for limbing and cross-cutting
1. Limbing a tree
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
When limbing leave larger lower limbs to support
the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in
one cut as illustrated in Figure 1. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid
binding the pruning saw.

2. Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important
to make sure your footing is firm and your weight is
evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the
log should be raised and supported by the use of
limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions
for easy cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire length
as illustrated in Figure 2, it is cut from the top
(overbuck), avoid contacting ground as this will
greatly reduce the chain sharpness.

Figure 2
When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated
in Figure 3, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside
( underbuck) (1). Then make the finished cut by
overbucking (2) to meet the first cut.
