FOR DOUBLE-INSULATED JAWSAWS
a)Replacement Parts
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
b)Polarized Plugs
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
c) FOR ALL JAWSAWS
1)Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling limbs.
2)Consider work area environment. Use
Guarded electric chain saw |
en |
|
|
extreme caution when cutting in wet and muddy conditions.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because the slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. Do not operate a JawSaw in a tree.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.
Don’t expose JawSaw to rain.
Don’t use JawSaw in damp or wet locations. Do not expose JawSaw to rain or snow
Do not use JawSaw in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3) Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: metal pipes, wire fences.
4) Keep children away
Do not let visitors contact JawSaw or extension cord.
All visitors should be kept away from work area.
5) Store idle JawSaw
When not in use, JawSaw should be stored in a dry, and high or locked-up place – out of the
12reach of children.
6) Don’t force JawSaw
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
7)Use right tool
Cut wood only.
Don’t use JawSaw for purpose not intended
– for example – Don’t use JawSaw for cutting plastic, masonry, non-wood building materials.
8)Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.They can get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9) Use safety glasses

on and off.
Do not operate JawSaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the trigger is released.
16) Power supply
Connect JawSaw to correct voltage, that is, be sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. 17) WARNING:To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection.
WARNING: KICKBACK may occur when the nose or tip of the guide 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 lightning fast 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 injury to user.The following precautions should be followed to minimize kickback.
(1)Grip saw firmly. Hold the JawSaw firmly with both hands when the motor is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the JawSaw handles.
(2)Do not over reach.
(3)Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
(4)Don’t let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or other obstruction.
(5)Use devices such as low kickback chain, guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and special guide bars that reduce the risks associated with kickback.
(6)Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in anyway. Unmodified and matching plugs greatly reduce the risk of electric shock.
2.Ground Fault Interrupter (GFIC) protection should be provided on the circuits
or outlets to be used for the outdoor appliance.
3.Use the extension cord to be a type acceptable for outdoor use, for example
– SJTW, and the size should be 18AWG or larger. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Make sure the
extension cord is in good condition before using; and keep the cord away from the cutting area and to position cord so that it will not be caught on branches, and the like, during cutting.
4.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 electrical shock.
5.Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
6.Disconnect JawSaw when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories and attachments, such as guards and saw chain.
7.Extension cord! Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use |
13 |
one heavy enough to carry the current your 
product will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the extension cord during operating:
i)Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
ii)Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or connectors described in this manual.

•Be aware of the direction that a branch may fall. Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall. Including:
•The intended direction of fall
•The natural lean of the branch
•Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay
•Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead power lines.
•The wind speed and direction.
•The safe distance between a branch and debris to be trimmed and bystanders, buildings, and other objects is at least
2 ½ times the length of the branch. Any bystander, building, or object within this distance is at risk from being struck by the falling branch.
•When cutting a limb that is under tension be aware of spring back. When tension in the wood fibres is released the spring
loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the tool out of control.
•Always wear suitable safety equipment such as no-skid heavy-duty shoes, goggles, ear protection, face shield, and gloves when operating this tool.

INTENDED USE
This JawSaw has been designed for pruning branches and cutting small logs up to 4 inches (10cm) in diameter. (See Fig. A)
ADJUSTMENT AND ASSEMBLY
Warning: Before touching the chain or making any other
adjustments, make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged.
4.Re-tighten the chain tensioner bolt by turning the chain tensioner bolt. When tightening the chain tension bolt the automatic chain tensioning system will set the tension to the chain at the same time.
5.Check that the correct chain tension has been set. It should be possible to pull the chain away from the side of the bar approximately 1/8” (3mm) and it should snap back. (See Fig. E)
If tension is incorrect, repeat step 3, ensuring the bar is free to move when the tensioner is released.
CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
All saw chains wear and become loose from operation. Periodically check the chain, if there is any visible gap between the chain and the guide bar, it must be re-tensioned.
WARNING: Unplug JawSaw from power source before adjusting saw
chain tension.
Warning: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves
when handling chain.
This product comes fully assembled. However, we recommend that you check the chain tension before use and readjust if necessary.
Adjusting the chain tension
1.Push the handle until the bar is in the middle of the jaw opening as shown. (See Fig. B) Lock the bar in the middle position by inserting the lock pin (17) found on the power cord into the lock pin receptacle (18) located under the handle.
2.Open the chain access cover (12) by using the supplied wrench.To open turn the access cover bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise. (See Fig.C)
3.Release tension on the chain by loosening the chain tensioner bolt.Turn the chain tension bolt (15) counter clockwise 2 or more times. (See Fig. D)
CHANGING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN
Warning: Laceration hazard.
Always wear protective gloves when installing or removing the saw chain.The saw chain is sharp and can cut you even when it is not running.
Warning: Burn hazard. The chain guide bar and chain may become hot
during use. Allow to cool before adjustment or removal.
1. Ensure the operation is carried out on a 17 firm surface.
2.Disconnect the power, install the lock pin and open the chain access cover as described in the previous section.
3.Use only WORX replacement bar and chain.
4.Loosen and remove the chain tensioner bolt.
5.Lift the guide bar (10) and chain (11) out through the jaw, angling the bar to clear the two bar locating pins.
6.If replacing the bar, remove the mounting plate (a), which is retained by a single screw and fit to the new bar.The bar is symmetrical and may be mounted with either face outward (can be reversed if the lower working edge is worn) (see Fig. F).
7.Before re-fitting the bar, check that the small oil hole (b) and chain slot (c) are not blocked by dirt or sawdust, use a small toothpick to clean if necessary (see Fig. G).
8.Refit the chain to the bar. Note the correct
Guarded electric chain saw |
en |
|
|
direction of the teeth (see Fig. H).The cutting direction is inward on the lower cutting edge.
9.With the mounting plate (a) toward the motor and holding the chain in place on the bar, feed bar and chain into the jaw, angling over the bar locating pins (d) and engaging the chain on the drive sprocket (16) (See Fig I).There is little excess chain length, therefore, the chain must be properly fitted in the bar slot to provide enough extra chain to be pulled over the drive sprocket.
10.Check if all parts are seated properly (See Fig J).
11.Refit and tighten the chain tensioner bolt. Note the cam (e) of the tensioner will engage the projecting tab (f) of the bar mounting plate and push the bar outward to tension the chain, check for correct tension (See Adjusting the chain tension).
12.Close the access cover and remove the lock pin.
LUBRICATION
18Important: The JawSaw is shipped with an empty oil tank. It is essential to fill with chain oil before use.
Never operate the JawSaw without chain oil or an empty tank as this will result in poor cutting performance, motor overload and possible burn-out.
FILLING OIL TANK:
UNPLUG THE TOOL BEFORE FILLING WITH OIL.
1.Fill oil bottle with bar oil. (See Fig. K)
2.Rest the JawSaw with the oil filler (6) facing upward
3.Lift the rubber oil filler flap (g) open.
4.Use bottle to fill oil reservoir. (See Fig. L)
5.Close the filler flap by pressing the plug part of the flap into the oil filler to seal. (See Fig. M)
Important: Use only the
recommended oil to avoid damage to the JawSaw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non approved oil will invalidate the
warranty.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
The JawSaw uses a much lower chain speed than a conventional chainsaw so it needs much less oil.
However is it very important that it always has oil.
Check the oil tank window and refill as necessary.
During operation, periodically check the chain and bar. A slight oil presence should be visible. If the chain and bar appear completely dry, then remove the bar and chain (see previous section) to ensure the bar oil hole is not blocked.
If the oil hole is clear, there is oil in the tank and still no oiling of the chain is visible – contact Worx customer service (contact 1-866- 354-9679).
OPERATION
Prepare your JawSaw for use Warning: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. Warning: Sharp moving blade.
To prevent accidental operation, ensure that the tool is disconnected from the power source before performing the following operations, failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.
Caution: Sharp moving blade. Always wear protective gloves
when installing or removing the chain, the chain is sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD
1.To prevent disconnection of appliance cord, secure extension cord to extension cord retainer.
2.An extension cord retainer is supplied to reduce strain on the power cord.To use this feature, form a loop at the end of the extension cable and bring this through the opening at the cable hook and suspend in the tension relief at the hook. (See Fig N)
