WARNING: Removing the battery pack before
filling the oil tank.
1. Set pole saw on any suitable surface with
Oil Filler Cap (6) 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 (not included) until tank is
full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit Oil Filler
Cap (6) 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 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
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 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 3.6m
6.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
battery charger.
2. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK
20V Cordless Pole Saw
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
