warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁre

and/or serious injury.

WARNING Read all safety

warnings designated by the

symbol and all instructions.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers

to your mains-operated (corded) power tool

or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS - WORK AREA SAFETY

1) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ﬂammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS - ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1) Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs

with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

2) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

3) Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the

risk of electric shock.

5) When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk

of electric shock.

6) If operating a power tool in a

damp location is unavoidable, use

a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD

reduces the risk of electric shock.

NOTE The term “residual current device

(RCD)” may be replaced by the term

“ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or

“earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS -PERSONAL SAFETY

1) Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired or

under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

2) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3) Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off-

position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on

the switch or energising power tools that

connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related

hazards.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS -POWER TOOL USE

AND CARE

1) Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.

2) Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

3) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from

adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting

the power tool accidentally.

4) Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

5) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

7) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance

with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and

the work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different from

those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

8) Keep handles dry, clean and free from

oil and grease. Slippery handles do not

allow for safe handling and control of the

b) If the replacement of the supply cord

is necessary, this has to be done

by the manufacturer or his agent in

order to avoid a safety hazard.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY

POINTS FOR YOUR

ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW

1. Keep all parts of the body away from

the saw chain when the chain saw

is operating. Before you start the

chain saw, make sure the saw chain

is not contacting anything. A moment

of inattention while operating chain saws

may cause entanglement of your clothing

or body with the saw chain.

2. Always hold the chain saw with your

right hand on the rear handle and

your left hand on the front handle.

Holding the chain saw with a reversed

hand conﬁguration increases the risk of

personal injury and should never be done.

3. Wear safety glasses and hearing

protection. Further protective

equipment for head, hands, legs

and feet is recommended. Adequate

Chain saw EN

1312

protective clothing will reduce personal

injury by ﬂying debris or accidental

contact with the saw chain.

4. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.

Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree

may result in personal injury.

5. Always keep proper footing and

operate the chain saw only when

standing on ﬁxed, secure and level

surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces

such as ladders may cause a loss of

balance or control of the chain saw.

6. When cutting a limb that is under

tension be alert for spring back. When

the tension in the wood ﬁbres is released

the spring loaded limb may strike the

operator and/or throw the chain saw out

of control.

7. Use extreme caution when cutting

brush and saplings. The slender

material may catch the saw chain and

be whipped toward you or pull you off

balance.

8. Carry the chain saw by the front

handle with the chain saw switched

off and away from your body. When

transporting or storing the chain saw

always ﬁt the guide bar cover. Proper

handling of the chain saw will reduce the

likelihood of accidental contact with the

moving saw chain.

9. Follow instructions for lubricating,

chain tensioning and changing

accessories. Improperly tensioned

or lubricated chain may either break or

increase the chance for kickback.

10.Keep handles dry, clean, and free

from oil and grease. Greasy, oily

handles are slippery causing loss of

control.

11. Cut wood only. Do not use chain

saw for purposes not intended. For

example: do not use chain saw for

cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood

building materials. Use of the chain saw

for operations different than intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

12.Using of a residual cuttent device with

a tripping current of 30 mA or less is

recommendated.

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION

OF KICKBACK:

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of

the guide bar touches an object, or when the

wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in

the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a

sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar

up and back towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the

guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back

towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to

lose control of the saw which could result in

serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively

upon the safety devices built into your saw.

As a chain saw user, you should take several

steps to keep your cutting jobs free from

accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or

incorrect operating procedures or conditions

and can be avoided by taking proper

precautions as given below:

- Maintain a ﬁrm grip, with thumbs

and ﬁngers encircling the chain saw

handles, with both hands on the saw

and position your body and arm to

allow you to resist kickback forces.

Kickback forces can be controlled by the

operator, if proper precautions are taken.

Do not let go of the chain saw.

- Do not overreach and do not cut

above shoulder height. This helps

prevent unintended tip contact and

enables better control of the chain saw in

unexpected situations.

- Only use replacement bars and

chains speciﬁed by the manufacturer.

Incorrect replacement bars and chains

may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

- Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening

and maintenance instructions for the

saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge

height can lead to increased kickback.

ATTENTION: Through poor conditions

of the electrical MAINS, shortly

voltage drops can appear when starting

the EQUIPMENT. This can inﬂuence other

equipment (Eg. Blinking of a lamp). If the

MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zsysmax = 0.22+0.13j,

such disturbances are not expected. (In case

of need, you may contact your local supply

authority for further information).

INTENDED USE

The chain saw is intended for sawing of trees,

tree trunks, branches, wooden beams, planks,

etc. Cuts can be sawed with or across the

grain. This product is not suitable for sawing

mineral materials.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING! Do not connect the

chain saw to mains before it is

completely assembled.

Always use gloves when handling the

chain.

CHAIN AND CHAIN BAR ASSEMBLY

1. Unpack all parts carefully.

2. Place the chain saw on any suitable ﬂat

surface.

3. Use only genuine WORX chains

designed for chainbar.

4. Slide the chain (8) in the slot around the

chain bar (7). Ensure chain is in correct

running direction by comparing with chain

symbol (14). Ensure the chain tensioning catch

(18) is facing outwards. (See Fig. A)

5. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket (13) and

guide the chain bar (7), so that the fastening

bolt (17) and the two guide ﬁns (15) ﬁt into the

keyway of the chain bar(7). (See Fig. B)

6. Check if all parts are seated properly and

hold chain and chain bar in a level position.

(See Fig. C1)

7. Fit cover plate, ensure that the chain catcher

(20) ﬁts into the groove of the cover plate(11).

(See Fig. C2)

8. Screw on the cover plate (11) with the

locking knob (10). (See Fig. D)

The chain is not yet tensioned. Tensioning the

chain applies as described under “Tensioning

chain”.

TENSIONING CHAIN

Always check the chain tension before use,

after the ﬁrst cuts and regularly during

use, approx. every 10 minutes. Upon

initial operation, new chains can lengthen

considerably.

WARNING: Unplug chain saw from

power source 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,

chain bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.

The chain life of the saw chain

mainly depends upon sufﬁcient

lubrication and correct tensioning.

Avoid tensioning the chain if it is

hot, as this will cause the chain to

become over tensioned when it cools

down.

1. Place the chain saw on any suitable ﬂat

surface.

2. Turn the locking knob/ chain tensioning

knob (10) clockwise until the locking knob

is screwed tightly. The correct chain tension

will be reached automatically. The ratchet

mechanism prevents the chain tension from

loosening. (See Fig. E2)

3. The correct chain tension is reached when

the chain (8) can be raised approx. 3 – 6 mm

from the chain bar in the centre. This should

be done by using one hand to raise the chain

against the weight of the machine. (See Fig.

E1)

4. When the chain looses, unscrew the locking

knob/ chain tensioning knob absolutely and

then Screw on the cover plate with the locking

knob tightly again.

LUBRICATION

IMPORTANT: The 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.

Chain life and cutting capacity depend on

optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is

1514

Chain saw EN

1514

automatically oiled during operation via oil

outlet (16).

Filling oil tank:

1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with

oil ﬁller cap facing upward.

2. Clean area around the oil ﬁller cap with

cloth unscrew cap.

3. Add WORX chain saw oil until reservoir is

full.

4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, reﬁt

oil ﬁller cap (4) 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.

OPERATION

1. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. F)

ATTENTION: Check the voltage and

current supply: The voltage and

current supply must comply with the

ratings on the type plate.

For switching on the machine, press the

lock-off (3) button, then fully press the on/off

switch (2) and hold in this position. The lock-

off button (3) can now be released.

For switching off, release the on/off switch

(2).

Do not stop chain saw after sawing by

activating the front hand guard (chain brake).

2. CHAIN BRAKE (See Fig. G)

The chain brake is a safety mechanism

activated through the front hand guard

(5), when kickback occurs. Chain stops

immediately.

The following function check should be

carried out at regular intervals. Push front

hand guard (5) forwards (position ) and start

the chain saw. The chain must not start. To

deactivate the kickback brake, pull hand guard

(5) backwards (position ). and

release On/Off switch (2)

Cutting

-Is the oil reservoir ﬁlled? Check oil level

gauge (19) prior to starting and regularly

during operation. Reﬁll oil when oil level

is low. The oil tank ﬁlling will last approx.

16minutes, depending on sawing intensity

and stops. (See Fig. H)

- Is the chain tension in order and is the chain

sharp? Check new replaced chain tension

approx. every 10 minutes during operation.

Upon initial operation, new chains can

lengthen considerably. The condition of the

chain inﬂuences the cutting performance.

Only a sharp chain protects from overload.

- Is the kickback deactivated and its function

ensured?

- Are you wearing the necessary protective

equipment? Wear safety glasses /goggles/

visor –safety helmet and hearing protection.

Further protective equipment for head,

hand, legs and feet is highly recommended.

Adequate protective clothing will reduce

personal injury by ﬂying debris or accidental

contact with saw chain.

Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can

be checked by running the chain saw and

pointing the tip of the chain bar towards a

piece of cardboard or paper on the ground.

Caution: Do not touch the ground with the

chain. Ensure safety clearance of 20 cm.

If an increasing oil pattern developes, the

automatic

oiler is operating ﬁne. If there is no oil

pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, see

“Troubleshooting” or contact WORX customer

service agent or approved service agent.

Kickback (See Fig. G)

Kickback is the sudden backward/upward

motion of the chain saw, occurring when the

chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in

contact with a log or wood, or when the chain

becomes jammed.

When kickback occurs the chainsaw reacts

unpredictably and can cause severe injuries to

Chain saw EN

1716

the operator or bystanders.

Particular attention must be given when

sawing sideward, slanted or during length

cuts, as the spiked bumper usually can not be

applied.

To avoid kickback:

- Saw with guide bar at a ﬂat angle.

- Never work with a loose, widely stretched or

the heavily worn out chain.

- Ensure chain is sharpened correctly.

- Never saw above shoulder height.

- Never work with the tip of the guide bar.

- Always hold the chain saw ﬁrmly with both

hands.

- Always use a low kickback chain.

- Apply the metal gripping teeth for leverage.

- Ensure correct chain tension.

General behavior

Always hold the chain saw ﬁrmly with both

hands. Front grip with the left hand and

rear grip with the right hand. Fully grip both

handles at all times during operation. Never

operate chain saw using only one hand.

Ensure power cord is located to the rear, away

from the chain and wood and so positioned

that it will not be caught on branches or the

like during cutting. (See Fig. G)

Use the chain saw only with secure footing.

Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of

your body. (See Fig. I)

The chain must be running at full speed

before it makes contact with the wood. Use

the metal gripping teeth to secure the saw

onto the wood before starting to cut. Use

the gripping teeth (9) as a leverage point “a”

while cutting. (See Fig. J)

Reset the gripping teeth at a low point when

sawing thicker logs by pulling the chain

saw slightly backwards until the gripping

teeth release, and reposition at lower level

to continue sawing. Do not remove the saw

completely from the wood.

Do not force the chain while cutting, let the

chain do the work, using the gripping teeth to

apply minimal leverage pressure.

Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully

extended or attempt to saw areas which are

difﬁcult to reach, or on a ladder. Never use the

chain saw above shoulder height. (See ﬁg. K)

Sawing is optimized when the chain speed

remains steady during cutting.

Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The

weight of the saw may change unexpectedly

as it cuts free from the wood. Accidents can

occur to the legs and feet.

Always remove the saw from a wood cut

while the saw is running.

Cutting logs

Observe the following safety instructions:

Support logs so that the face sides at the

cut do not close in against each other, which

would result in the chain being jammed or

pinched. (See Fig. I,L)

Position and set short logs safety prior to

sawing. Saw only wood or wooden objects.

When sawing, always take care to avoid

hitting stones, nails, ect, as these could be

thrown up or cause damage to the chain or

serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

Keep a running saw clear or wire fencing or

the ground.

Use of the saw to thin out branches or bushes

is not approved.

Length cuts must be carried out with care,

as leverage with the gripping teeth (9) is not

possible. Saw at a ﬂat angle to avoid kickback.

When working on a slope, operate above or to

the side of the trunk or laying tree.

Be careful not to trip over tree stumps,

branches, roots, etc.

Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. L)

There is a high risk of accidents when sawing

wood, branch or trees under tension. Be

extremely careful.

Leave saw jobs like these to professionals.

When sawing logs supported on both ends,

start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the

diameter into the log and then ﬁnish the cut

(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of

the chain saw with the ground. When sawing

logs supported on only one end, start the cut

from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into

the log and ﬁnish the cut from above (Z) in

order to avoid log splitting or jamming of the

chain saw.

Felling trees (See Fig. M)

Always wear hard hat to protect head

against falling branches.

The chain saw can only be used to fell

trees smaller in diameter than the length

of the guide bar.

Secure work area. Ensure no persons

or animals are in the vicinity of the

falling tree.

Never attempt to free a jammed saw

with the motor running. Use wooden

wedges to free chain and guide bar.

When cutting and felling operations are being

performed by two or more persons, at the

same time, the felling operations should be

separated from the cutting operation by a

distance of at least twice the height of the

tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in

a manner that would endanger any person,

strike any utility line or cause any property

damage. If the tree does make contact with

any utility line, the company should be

notiﬁed immediately.

The chain saw operator should keep on the

uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to

roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

An escape path should be planned and

cleared as necessary before cuts are started.

The escape path should extend back and

diagonally to the rear of the expected line of

fall.

Before felling is started, consider the

natural lean of the tree, the location of larger

branches and the wind direction to judge

which way the tree will fall.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails staples,

and wire from the tree.

Notching undercut: Make the notch (x-w)1/3

the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the

direction of falls as make the lower horizontal

notching cut ﬁrst. This will help to avoid

pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar

when the second notch is being made.

Felling back cut: make the felling back

cut(Y)at least 50 mm higher than the

horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling back

cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut.

Make the felling back cut so enough wood is

left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps

the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong

direction. Do not cut through the hinge.

As the felling gets close to the hinge the tree

should begin to fall. If there is any chance

that the tree may not fall in desired direction

or it may rock back and bind the saw chain,

stop cutting before the felling back cut is

complete and use wedges of wood, plastic, or

aluminum to open the cut and drop the tree

along the desired line of fall.

When the tree begins to fall remove the chain

saw from the cutting, stop the motor, put the

chain saw down, and then use the retreat path

planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling

and watch your footing.

To complete the felling operation, drive a

wedge (Z) into the horizontal cut.

Beware of falling branches when the tree

starts to move.

Limbing a tree (See Fig. N)

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. Branches under tension should be

cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the

chain saw.

Bucking a log (See Fig. O)

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 as

illustrated, it is cut from the top (overbuck).

When the log is supported on one end,

as illustrated, cut 1/3 the diameter from

the underside (underbuck). Then make the

ﬁnished cut by overbucking to meet the ﬁrst

cut. (See Fig. P)

When the log is supported on both ends,

as illustrated, cut 1/3 the diameter from the

top overbuck. Then make the ﬁnished cut by

underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the ﬁrst

cut. (See Fig. Q)

When bucking on a slope always stand on

the uphill side of the log, as illustrated. When

Chain saw EN

“cutting through”, to maintain complete

control release the cutting pressure near the

end of the cut without relaxing your grip on

the chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain

contact the ground. After completing the cut,

wait for the saw chain to stop before you

move the chain saw. Always stop the motor

before moving from tree to tree. (See Fig. R)

MAINTENANCE

Before any work on the machine itself,

pull the mains plug from the socket.

Note: To ensure long and reliable service,

carry out the following maintenance regularly.

Regularly check for obvious defects such as

loose, dislodged or damaged chain and guide

bar, loose ﬁxings and worn or damaged

components.

Check that covers and guards are undamaged

and correctly ﬁtted. Carry out necessary

maintenance or repairs before using the chain

saw.

If the chain saw should happen to fail despite

the care taken in manufacturing and testing,

repair should be carried out by an authorized

customer service agent.

Before returning, ensure all oil in the oil

tank has been emptied.

Replacing/Changing Chain and guide bar

Fit the chain and guide bar as described in

“Assembly and Tensioning Chain”.

The circular groove of the guide bar will wear

particularly on the lower edge with time.

When replacing the chain turn the chain bar

180° to allow even wear, thus extending chain

bar life.

Check drive sprocket. If it is worn out or

damaged due to strain, have it exchanged by

an authorized service agent.

If the chain bar is worn out or damaged,

take the chain tensioning catch off the bar

by loosing the screw anti-clockwise. Then

ﬁt the tensioning catch into the new bar by

tightening the screw clockwise. The catch

protrude (a) must be ﬁtted into the bar hole.

(See Fig S)

Sharpening chain

Have your chain sharpened professionally

at your approved service agent or sharpen

the chain yourself using the sharpening kit.

Follow the sharpening instructions supplied

with the sharpening kit.

CLEANING/STORAGE

Clean the moulded plastic housing of the

chain saw using a soft brush and clean

cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes.

Remove all debris, especially

from the motor cooling vents.

Remove and brush clean the cover plate,

chain and chain bar after 1 to 3 hours of use.

Clean the area under the cover plate, the drive

sprocket and chain bar assembly using a soft

brush. Clean oil outlet with a clean cloth.

If the chain saw is to be stored for a longer

period of time, clean chain and chain bar.

Store in a secure, dry place out of the reach of

children.

Do not place other objects on the chain saw.

To prevent leakage ensure machine is left in a

horizontal position (oil ﬁller cap 4 uppermost).

When storing machine in original packaging

the oil tank must be completely emptied.

ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION

Recycle unwanted materials instead of

disposing of them as waste. All tools and

packaging should be sorted, taken to the

local recycling centre and disposed of in an

environmentally safe way.
