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 Chain Cover and tighten the Chain 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 Chain 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) 
5.  Tighten the Housing-Cover Knob to secure the 
Chain 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.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE
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 F3, F4)
Step 1: Align and insert the extension pole into the 
saw.
Step 2: Hang the buckle on the hook of the saw. Press 
the Clamping Lever 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. F5)
Loosen the Clamping Lever to release the buckle. 
Press the Extension Pole Release Button 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.
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 
Housing-Cover facing up.
3.  Clean the Guide Bar and Chain with a soft brush or 
solvent.
