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 (8) clockwise until
it is hand tight.
NOTE: The tension is automatically increased while
the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) is being turned in a
clockwise direction. The built-in ratchet mechanism
prevents the chain tension from loosening.
3. Tilt the saw forward (See E1) where the Guide Bar
(6) tip is pushed in an upward direction. This will
remove slack from the chain.
4. Fully tighten the Chain Tensioning Knob (8) by
turning it clockwise.
5. Double check the tension set by the automatic
Chain Tensioning Knob. The correct chain tension is
reached when the Chain (7) can be raised approx.
half the drivelink depth from the Guide Bar (6)
in the center. This should be done by using one
hand to raise the chain against the weight of the
machine. (See Fig. E2)
NOTE: The Chain (7) is properly tensioned when it can
be lifted off of the Guide Bar (6) and the drivelink is
within the rail of the Guide Bar (6).
NOTE: The Chain (7) will stretch while cutting and
lose proper tension. When the chain becomes loose,
completely unscrew the Chain Tensioning Knob
(8) or turn the knob around three full turns in a
counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the Chain
Tensioning Knob (8) to properly reset the chain tension
by repeating Steps 1-4 listed above.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE (Only for
WG323E, WG323E.9)
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 G1)
Step1: Align and insert the pole connection bracket
(29) into the saw.
Step2: Turn the Locking Knob (28) counterclockwise 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. G2)
Step1: Turn the Locking Knob (28) clockwise to loosen
and pull it out.
Step2: Slide saw 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.
Adjusting pole length
The pole saw has a telescoping pole assembly that
will extend from 2m (fully retracted) to 2.7m (fully
extended).
Cordless Chain Saw
Clamping level (26) is used to hold the pole in position
at any extended length.
1. To extend the pole, loosen the clamping lever as
shown in Fig H. Pole will slide freely.
2. Pull inner pole section out to desired length of
extension. Note: only extend pole to minimum
length required to reach limb that is being cut.
3. To lock pole in position, tighten clamping lever as
shown in Fig. H.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: The chain saw is not 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:
WARNING: Removing the battery pack
before filling the oil tank.
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with Oil Filler
Cap (3) facing upward.
2. Clean area around the Oil Filler Cap with cloth and
unscrew the cap by turning it counter clockwise.
3. Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit Oil Filler
Cap (3) and tighten by turning clockwise until hand
tight.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil
tank, small breather channels are
provided between the Oil Filler Cap and
the strainer, to prevent leakage, and ensure
machine is left in a horizontal position (Oil Filler
Cap (6) uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the recommended
standard bar and chain oil (Grade: ISO VG32)
to avoid damage to the chain saw. This can be
found at the location where you purchased this
saw or your local hardware store. Never use
recycled/old oil. 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.
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 chain bar (6) 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.
