Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be
checked by running the pole 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

OPERATION
1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS TOOL
WARNING! The charger and battery pack are
specially designed to work together so do not
attempt to use any other devices. Never insert
or allow metallic objects into your charger or battery
pack connections because of an electrical failure and
hazard will occur.
NOTE: Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you
must charge once before use.
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion
battery installed in the machine. Do not use another
16
battery charger.
2. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep
discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine is
switched off by means of a protective circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery
pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow
time for the battery to cool down before recharging.
3. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See
Fig. L1, L2)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to remove
the Battery Pack from your tool. After recharging,
insert the Battery Pack into the battery port. A simple
push and slight pressure will be sufficient until a click
is heard. Check to see if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it
firmly to avoid dropping and injury.
4. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. M)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack
before using your cordless tool. Only use
the battery pack listed in the accessories
section.
For switching on the tool, press the extension pole
lock-off button (23), then fully press the On/Off Trigger
(19) and hold in this position. The extension pole lock-
off button can now be released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Trigger.

5. CUTTING
Important: Is the oil tank filled? Check
the Oil Level Window (8) prior to starting
and regularly during operation (See Fig.
N1). Refill oil when oil level is low. A full oil
tank will last approx. 35 minutes of cutting
depending on sawing intensity and stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about
every 10 minutes during operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying
on the ground. This will keep the chain (1) from
touching the ground as it cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the Chain is moving is
dangerous and will dull the Chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand
to grip main handle and right hand to grip Rear
Handle (22). Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around saw handles. (See Fig. N2)
(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-shoulder
width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both
feet.
(5) When ready to make a cut, push the extension
pole lock-off button (23) completely in with the
right thumb and squeeze the trigger. This will turn
saw on. Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off.
Make sure the saw is running at full speed before
starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close to
the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place
to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put
excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its
work. The motor will overload and can burn out.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/
off Trigger (19). Make sure the chain has stopped
before setting the saw down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid
motion and a steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices on This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback
Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback.
However, kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running.
Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around saw handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure
they work properly.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when
chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
