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 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 chain saw 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 hole 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 

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 

rapidly.

1.   Place the chain saw 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
