- Release tension on the Saw Chain (8) by loosening the Chain Tensioning Bolt (10). Turn the Chain Tensioning Bolt counter-clockwise 2 or more times.
Add tension on the Saw Chain by turning the Chain Tensioning Bolt clockwise. When tightening the Chain Tensioning Bolt the automatic chain tensioning system will set the tension to the Saw Chain at the same time.
NOTE
It is not possible to overtighten the Saw Chain, so tighten the chain as much
as possible. Check that the correct Saw Chain tension has been set. It should
be possible to pull the Saw Chain away from the side of the Guide Bar
approximately 3 mm and it should snap back.
If tension is incorrect, repeat step 3, ensuring the Guide Bar is free to move when the tension is released.
CHANGING THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN
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.
Burn hazard
The chain guide bar and chain may become hot during use. Allow to cool before adjustment or removal. Ensure the operation is carried out on a firm surface. Remove the battery pack, install the Lock Pin (12) and open the Chain Access Cover (9).
- Use only Worx replacement Guide Bar and Saw Chain.
- Loosen and remove the Chain Tensioning Bolt (17).
- Lift the Guide Bar (7) and Saw Chain (8) out through the jaw, angling the Guide Bar to clear the two bar locating pins (d)
- If replacing the Guide Bar, remove the mounting plate (a), which is retained by a single screw and fit to the new Guide Bar.
- The Guide Bar is symmetrical and may be mounted with either face outward (can be reversed if the lower working edge is worn
- Before re-fitting the Guide 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
- Refit the Saw Chain to the Guide Bar. Note the correct direction of the teeth.

LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT
The Jawsaw is shipped with an empty oil tank. It is essential to fill with
chain oil before use. Bar and chain oil of any brand can be used. 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
- Fill Oil Bottle (19) with chain and bar oil.
- Rest the Jawsaw with the Oil Filler facing upward
- Uncrew the oil filler cap g open.
- Use bottle to fill oil reservoir.
- Screw the oil filler cap.
IMPORTANT
It is important to use bar and chain lubricant that is formulated to perform
over a wide temperature range with no dilution required. his 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
The Jaw saw uses a much lower chain speed than a conventional chainsaw so it needs much less oil. However it is very important that it always has oil. Check the Oil Level Window (14) and refill as necessary. During operation, periodically check the Saw Chain (8) and Guide Bar (7). 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.
WARNING
Do not push the rear handle repeatedly when the saw is not cutting. The oil
will be bumped out when pushing the handle whether the motor runs or not.
OPERATION
- BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS TOOL Your bat tery 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.
- CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK 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.
TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK
Depress the battery release button to release battery pack from your tool. After recharging, insert the battery pack into the battery port. A simple push and slight pressure will be sufficient.
PREPARE YOUR JAWSAW FOR USE
WARNING
- Failure to follow all instructions listed may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
- Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental operation, ensure that the battery pack is removed 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 Saw Chain (8) is sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
WARNING
- Never operate a Jawsaw that is damaged or improperly adjusted or that is not completely and securely assembled.
- Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the power control system triggers are released.
- Never adjust the guide bar or saw when battery pack is connected.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
The Trigger Switch (2) is locked to prevent accidental starting. There are two Lock Out Buttons (3), to allow upright (cutting down from the top) or inverted (cutting up from the bottom) operation. To switch on, press either Lock Out Button with your thumb and squeeze the Trigger Switch.
To switch off, just release the Trigger Switch.
CUTTING
Check oil level window (14) prior to starting and regularly during operation. Refill oil when oil level is low. If operating with a newly replaced Saw Chain (8), check the chain tension around every 10 minutes during operation. Always hold the Front Handle (4) firmly when cutting use your left hand (I) to grip the front handle and your right hand (II) to grip the Rear Handle(1). Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles
IMPORTANT
Make sure your footing is firm and stable. Do not use the Jawsaw while
standing on piles of branches or while standing on a ladder.
HINT
When cutting branches which are lying on the ground, place one foot on the
branch to prevent limb from moving.
WARNING
Do not put your foot in the Jaw teeth, keep your foot a safe distance from the
tool Position the tool with the Jaw placed over the desired branch to be cut.
DO NOT force the cut. Let the Saw Chain pull through the wood. When starting
the saw make sure the chain is not in
contact with the limb or branch to be cut. Switch on the tool. Push the Rear
Handle towards the Front Handle to complete the cut. Switch off the tool after
the Guide Bar and Saw Chain have returned to their starting position. When
completing the cut do not push the handle forcefully, let the spinning chain
pull itself through the wood. Using too much force on the rear handle when
cutting can overload the tools motor.
CAUTION
At the end of each cut be prepared to support the tools weight.
TRIMMING BRANCHES:
Before cutting any branch, you must consider the following
- Is the branch heavy, will it damage anything when it falls?
- Large branches should be cut in small sections starting at the farthest end from the tree.
- Always check where the branch will fall.
- BEFORE commencing the cut.
- Never stand under a branch being cut.
- Will the branch split before it is cut through?
To prevent splitting, turn the Jawsaw up sidedown and make a small cut (less than 1/3 diameter of the limb) from the underside. Then turn the Jawsaw over to the normal position and cut from top down, slightly further out from the trunk than the initial undercut.
- Is the branch under tension, will it spring suddenly or trap the saw when it is cut?
- Always stand outside the path of a springy branch.
- It can strike suddenly with surprising force and cause injury or loss of control of the saw.
- Always cut from the tension side of a branch, usually the top of a branch on a standing tree, but can be any side of the branch of a fallen tree.
- If the cut starts to close on the saw, you are cutting from the wrong side, keep the saw running and pull the saw to retract the blade from the cut.
- If the saw becomes trapped do not try to pull it out with excessive force, lift the branch to open the cut while an assistant removes the saw.
KICKBACK SAFETY
This saws chain is covered by a guard however, kickback can still occur. The
following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
- Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running.
- Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles.
- Keep all safety items in place on saw.
- Make sure they work properly.
- Do not overreach.
- Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
- Stand slightly to right left side of saw.
- This keeps your body from being in direct line with Saw Chain.
- Do not let guide bar nose touch anything when Saw Chain is moving.
- Do not bury Guide Bar nose or try to plunge cut boring into wood using bar nose.
- Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch Saw Chain.
- Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
- Never use a dull or loose Saw Chain.
- Keep Saw Chain sharp with proper tension .
PROPERLY USING THE Jawsaw
Use the Jawsaw only with secure footing. Hold the Jawsaw at the right-hand side of your body.
The Saw Chain must be running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood. Use the metal Jaw Teeth (6) to secure the saw onto the wood before starting to cut.
Do not operate the Jawsaw with arms fully extended or attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or on a ladder.
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION
WARNING
When cutting a limb that is under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for
wood springing back. When wood tension is released, the limb could spring back
and strike operator causing severe injury or death. When sawing logs supported
on both ends, start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the
log and then finish the cut(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of the
Jaw saw with the ground. When sawing logs supported on only one end, start the
cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log and finish the cut
from above (Z) in order
to avoid log splitting or jamming of the tool.
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. Branches under tension against the ground should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the Jaw saw.
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. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting.
WARNING
If on slope, make sure log will not roll down hill. Secure log by using wooden stakes. Drive wooden stakes into ground on downhill side of log. Stand on uphill side of log while cutting. Log may roll after cutting. Never try cutting through two logs at same time. This could increase the risk of kickback. While cutting log, never hold log with your hand or leg. While cutting log, never allow another person to hold log. Turn off and remove the battery pack from the saw before moving from one place to another.
SAW MAINTENANCE AND KICKBACK SAFETY
Proper cleaning and maintenance of the Saw Chain (8) and Guide Bar (7), as well as the Jaw saw in general, can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw after each use. This will increase the service life of your saw.
NOTE
Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback can increase with each
sharpening.
