Worx WG385 Manual página 14

INTENDED USE
The Chainsaw 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 install the battery pack
before it has been completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the chain.
CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack all parts carefully. Remove the chain cover
by turning the chain tensioning knob in a counter-
clockwise direction. (See Fig. A1)
2. Place the Chainsaw 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. Ensure
the bar tensioning plate is facing outward. (See Fig.
A2)
5. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket, so that the
fastening bar bolt and the two bar locating tabs 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 and hold chain
and guide bar in a level position. 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 on 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
14
turning the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it is
tight. (See Fig. D)
8. The chain will stretch while cutting and lose proper
tension. When the chain becomes loose, completely
unscrew the chain tensioning knob or turn the knob
around three (3) full turns in a counter-clockwise
direction, then retighten the chain tensioning knob to
properly reset the chain tension by repeating Steps
6-7 listed above.
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)
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
Cordless Chainsaw
rapidly.
1. Place the Chainsaw on any suitable flat surface.
2. Turn the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it is
hand tight.
NOTE: The tension is automatically increased while
the chain tensioning knob 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 tip
is pushed in an downward direction. This will remove
slack from the chain.
4. Fully tighten the chain tensioning knob 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 can be raised approx. Half the drivelink
depth from the guide bar 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 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 stretch while cutting and lose
proper tension. When the chain becomes loose,
completely unscrew the chain tensioning knob or turn
the knob around three full turns in a counter-clockwise
direction, then retighten the chain tensioning knob to
properly reset the chain tension by repeating Steps 1-4
listed above.
LUBRICATION (SEE FIG. F)
IMPORTANT: The Chainsaw is not filled with
oil. It is essential to fill with oil before use.
Never operate the Chainsaw 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 Chainsaw on any suitable surface with oil filler cap
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
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
when not in use.
It is important to use bar and chain lubricant (not
provided) 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 oils. Damage may
occur to the bar or chain. Use of non approved oil will
