SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
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.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b)
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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a)
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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d)
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
.
e) 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
.
f) 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.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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.
b)
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.
c) 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
have the switch on invites accidents
.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
8

and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature

repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
1 GENERAL CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring
. Saw chains contacting a
“live”wire may make exposed metal parts of the chain
saw “live”and could give the operator an electric
shock.
d) Wear safety glasses protection. Further
protective equipment for hearing, head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder,
from a rooftop, or any unstable support.
Operation
of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces may
cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain
saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials
. Use of the chain saw for
operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid
them.
Serious injury could occur to the operator or
bystanders while felling a tree.
m) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack
is removed.
Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may result
in serious personal injury.
n) Recommendation that the first-time user should,
as a minimum, practise cutting logs on a saw-
horse or cradle.
o) Recommendation to have sharpening and
maintenance of the saw chain performed by
authorised service centres.
2 CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF
KICKBACK
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
9
Cordless Chain Saw
EN
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 chain saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement guide
bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BAT
TERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. When
battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected area
with copious amounts of water and seek medical
advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not
in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
l) Recharge only with the charger specified by
Worx. Do not use any charger other than that
specifically provided for use with the equipment.
m) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
n) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
o) Retain the original product literature for future
reference.

not in use.
q) Dispose of properly.
r) Do not mix cells of different manufacture,
capacity, size or type within a device.
s) Do not remove battery pack from its original
packaging until required for use.
t) Observe the plus (+) and minus (–) marks on the
battery and ensure correct use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions concerning the proper techniques for
basic felling, limbing, and cross-cutting
1. Felling a tree
When bucking and felling operations are being performed
by two or more persons at the same time, the felling
operations should be separated from the bucking
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 Chainsaw 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 as illustrated in Figure 1.
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.
2. Notching undercut
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular
to the direction of falls as illustrated in Figure 1. Make the
lower horizontal notching cut (W) first. This will help to
avoid pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar when
10
Cordless Chain Saw
EN
the second notch (X) is being made.
3. Felling back cut
Make the felling back cut (Y) at least 50 mm higher than
the horizontal notching cut as illustrated in Figure 1. 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 aluminium (Z) to open
the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall ( ).
When the tree begins to fall remove the Chainsaw from
the cut, stop the motor, put the Chainsaw down, then use
the retreat path planned ( ). Be alert for overhead limbs
falling and watch your footing. (See Figure 1)

4. Limbing a tree
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 in
Figure 2. Branches under tension should be cut from the
bottom up to avoid binding the Chainsaw.

5. Bucking a log
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 length as
illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut from the top (overbuck),
avoid contacting ground as this will greatly reduce the
chain sharpness.
Figure 3
When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated
in Figure 4, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (
underbuck) (1). Then make the finished cut by overbucking
(2) to meet the first cut.
