Chain Saw
WG303E
TENSIONING CHAIN
Always check the chain tension before use, after the first
cuts and regularly during use, approx. every 10 minutes.
Upon initial operation, new chains can lengthen
considerably.
WARNING: Unplug chain saw from power source
before adjusting saw chain tension.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp.
Use protective gloves when handling chain.
WARNING: 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, chain bar, and sprocket to
wear rapidly.
The chain life of the saw chain mainly depends
upon sufficient lubrication and correct tensioning.
Avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will
cause the chain to become over tensioned when
it cools down.
1. Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.
2. Turn the locking knob/ chain tensioning knob
(10) clockwise until the locking knob is screwed
tightly. The correct chain tension will be reached
automatically. The ratchet mechanism prevents the
chain tension from loosening. (See Fig. E2)
3. The correct chain tension is reached when the chain
(8) can be raised approx. 3 – 6 mm from the chain bar
in the centre. This should be done by using one hand
to raise the chain against the weight of the machine.
(See Fig. E1)
4. When the chain looses, unscrew the locking knob/
chain tensioning knob absolutely and then Screw on
the cover plate with the locking knob tightly again.
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.
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically oiled
during operation via oil outlet (16).
FILLING OIL TANK:
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil filler
cap facing upward.
2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with cloth
unscrew cap.
3. Add WORX chain saw oil until reservoir is full.
