ASSEMBLY
WARNING! Do not connect the
chain saw to the power supply
before it is completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the
chain.
CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack all parts carefully.
2. Place the chain saw on a solid, level
surface.
3. Use only genuine WORX chains
designed for Guide Bar.
4. Slide the Chain(10) in the slot around
the Guide Bar (9). Ensure the Chain is in
correct running direction by comparing
it to the Chain Direction Symbol (16)
found on the saw body. Ensure the Bar
Tensioning Plate (22) is facing outward.
(See fig. A)
5. Fit the Chain onto the Drive Sprocket
(15), so that the Fastening Bar Bolt (19)
and the two Bar Locating Tabs (20) on the
Bar Clamp (18) fit into the keyway of the
opening on the Guide Bar (9). (See fig. B)
6. Check to see if all parts are seated properly.
(See fig. C)
7. Fit the Chain Cover (12) and tighten
the Chain Cover by turning the Chain
Tensioning Knob (11) clockwise until it is
tight. (See fig. D)
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. E)
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check
the chain tension frequently when first used
and tighten when the Chain (10) becomes
loose around the Guide Bar (9).
WARNING:
• Unplug chain saw from power source
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 (11)
clockwise until it is hand tight. The tension
is automatically set while the Chain
Tensioning Knob is being tightened.
The ratchet mechanism prevents the chain
tension from loosening.
3. Double check the tension set by the
automatic Chain Tensioning Knob. The
correct chain tension is reached when the
Chain (10) can be raised approx. 0.12–
0.24” (3-6mm) from the Guide Bar (9) in
the center. This should be done by using
one hand to raise the chain against the
weight of the machine.
4. The Chain will stretch from use and lose
proper tension. To turn knob counter
clockwise (3x), secure the chain cover, and
retension the chain simply repeat steps 1 -
3 listed above.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE
(WHEN USED WITH OPTIONAL POLE
ATTACHMENT)
Align and insert the handle of extension
pole into the shaft. Rotate the locking
collar clockwise to lock. (See Fig. F)
Note: Make sure that the shaft is firmly
locked in place.
ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION POLE TO
THE MACHINE
1. Insert the pole bracket into the saw. (Fig
G1)
NOTE: Pole bracket holds trigger in “ON”
position.
2. Slide the handle bracket onto
clamping bolt.
3. Screw the knob tightly.
4. Plug saw power cord into receptacle
cord at end of inner pole.(Fig G2)
WARNING!
• Before attaching the power cord of
the machine to the power cord of the
Extension Pole, make sure that the
tool is switched off and unplugged
from the power supply.
• When using this machine with the
Extension Pole, make sure to first
attach the power cord of the machine
to the power cord of the extension
pole, and then attach the power
cord of the extension pole to power
supply.
• ELECTROCUTION HAZARD:
Never use the Saw or Extension Pole
in an area with overhead power lines
or where the branch being cut can
come into contact with overhead
power lines.
ADJUSTING POLE LENGTH
The pole saw has a telescoping pole
assembly that will extend from 89.7 inches
(WG309)/ 87.4 inches (WG310) (fully retracted)
to 119.4 inches (WG309) /117.1 (WG310) (fully
extended). A cam levered collet is used to
hold the pole in position at any extended
length.
1. To extend the pole, loosen the clamping
lever as shown in Fig H. Pole will slide
freely.
2. Pull inner pole section out to desired
length of extension. Note: only extend pole
to minimum length required to reach limb
that is being cut.
3. To lock pole in position, tighten clamping
lever as shown in Fig. H.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: The chain saw is
not supplied filled with oil. It is
essential to fill with oil before use.
Never operate the chain saw 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:
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with
Oil Filler Cap (5) facing upward.
2. Clean area around the Oil Filler Cap with
cloth and unscrew the cap by turning it
counter clockwise.
3. Add WORX bar and chain oil until reservoir
is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit
Oil Filler Cap (5) and tighten by turning
clockwise until hand tight.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of
the oil reservoir, small breather
channels are provided between the Oil
Filler Cap and the strainer, to prevent
leakage ensure machine is left in a
horizontal position (Oil Filler Cap (5)
uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the
recommended oil (ISO VG32)to avoid
damage to the chain saw. Never use
recycled/old oil. Use of non approved oil
will invalidate the warranty.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler
can be checked by running the chain saw
and pointing the tip of the Guide chain 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 12”.
OPERATION
1. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. I)
ATTENTION: Check the voltage and
current supply: The voltage and
current supply must comply with the
ratings on the product plate.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-
