TENSIONING CHAIN
New saw chains will stretch. Check chain
tension frequently when first used and tighten
when Chain becomes loose around the Guide
Bar (7).
WARNING: Remove the battery
from the tool before adjusting saw
chain tension.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain
are sharp. Use protective gloves
when handling chain.
WARNING: 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 chain saw on any suitable flat
surface.
2. Turn the Chain Tensioning Knob (10)
clockwise until it is hand tight. The tension
is automatically set while the Chain
Tensioning Knob is being tightened.
The ratchet mechanism (a) prevents the
chain tension from loosening. (See Fig. F1)
3. Double check the tension set by the
automatic Chain Tensioning Knob. The
correct chain tension is reached when the
Chain (8) can be raised approx. 3-6mm
from the Guide Bar (7) in the center (the
chain links should just remain in the bar
track). This should be done by using one
hand to raise the chain against the weight
of the machine. (See Fig. F2)
Use a screwdriver to move chain around
Guide Bar to ensure kinks do not exist. The
chain should rotate freely. (See Fig. F3 )
4. When the chain looses, unscrew the Chain
Tensioning Knob absolutely and then
Screw on the cover plate with the locking
knob tightly again.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: He chain saw is
not supplied 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:
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with
Oil Filler Cap (4) facing upward.
2. Clean area around the Oil Filler Cap with
cloth unscrew cap.
3. Add bar and chain oil until reservoir is full.
ISO VG32 Bar and chain oil of any brand
can be used.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit
the Oil Filler Cap and tighten.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of
the oil reservoir, small breather
channels are provided between the oil
filler cap and the strainer, to prevent
leakage ensure machine is left in a
horizontal position (Oil Filler Cap (4)
uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the
recommended oil to avoid damage to the
chain saw. Never use recycled/old oil.
Use of non approved oil will invalidate
the warranty.
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 Bar (7) 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 or WORX approved service agent.
CAUTION: Do not touch the ground
with the chain. Ensure safety clearance
of 30cm.
