Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
80/-*'>+)'9#0$"*!'+,'#>1*$9&'#)':"*,'9"*':##-'
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
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

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 in Figure 1. Branches
under tension should be cut from the bottom up to
avoid binding the pruning saw.

evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the
log should be raised and supported by the use of
limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions
for easy cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire length
as illustrated in Figure 2, it is cut from the top
(overbuck), avoid contacting ground as this will
greatly reduce the chain sharpness.

5. ASSEMBLY
WARNING! Do not install the battery pack
before it has been completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the chain.
MOUNTING THE SAW CHAIN
1. Unpack all parts carefully. Remove the Housing-
Cover by turning the Housing-Cover Knob in a
counterclockwise direction. (See Fig. A1)
2. Place the pruning saw on a solid, level surface.
3. Use only genuine Worx Chains or those
recommended for Guide Bar.
4. Slide the Chain in the slot around the Guide Bar.
Ensure the Chain is in correct running direction
by comparing it to the chain icon on the Guide
Bar, or referring to the chain direction symbol
found on the saw body. (See Fig. A2)
5. Fit the Chain onto the Drive Sprocket, so that the
Fastening Bar Bolt and the Bar Locating Tab on
9"*'Z+)'J+-'(9'/,9#'9"*'%*2:+2'#='9"*'#6*,/,8'#,'
the Guide Bar. (See Fig. B1, B2)
6. Assure all parts are seated properly. Make
sure the drive links are fully seated in the Drive
Sprocket (See Fig. C1), avoiding a kink as shown
in Fig. C2. If kink occurs, pick up the Chain at the
[0/-*'Z+)'10!9'+"*+-'#='9"*'%/,%'+,-'9"*,'6077'9"*'
kink out.
NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of
kinks.
7. Fit the Housing Cover. Tilt the guide bar forward
where the guide bar tip is pushed in an vertically
downward direction. This will remove slack from
the chain. The correct chain tension is reached
when the chain can be raised approx. Half the
drivelink depth from the guide bar in the center.
This should be done by using one hand to raise
the chain against the weight of the machine.
Then tighten the Housing Cover by turning the
Housing-Cover Knob clockwise until it is tight.
(See Fig. D)
NOTE: The chain is properly tensioned when
it can be lifted off of the Guide Bar and the
drivelink is within the rail of the Guide Bar. (See
Fig. E)
NOTE: The chain will stretch while cutting and
lose proper tension. When the chain becomes
loose, completely unscrew the Housing-Cover
Knob or turn the knob around three full turns in a
counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the
Housing-Cover Knob to properly reset the chain
tension by repeating Steps 1-7 listed above.
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the

Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance
of kickback. However, kickback can still occur with
this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure
they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when
chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut
(boring into wood using Guide Bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that
may pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous
cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar
that were supplied with this pruning saw or
recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the pruning saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the pruning saw at the right-hand side of
your body (See Fig. L).
3. The Chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the Base Plate to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Base Plate as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. M)
6. Do not operate the saw with arms fully extended,
+99*569'9#'!+:'+)*+!':"/$"'+)*'-/^$079'9#')*+$"&'
or stand on a ladder while sawing. (See Fig. N)
Never use the pruning saw above shoulder height.
Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. O)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood
springing back. When wood tension is released, limb
could spring back and strike operator causing
severe injury or death.

4. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.
5. When not in use, always store pruning saw
• in a high or locked place, out of children’s reach
• in a dry place
• with Bar and Housing Cover in place
Bar Maintenance
To maximize bar life, the following bar maintenance
is recommended.
The bar rails that carry the chain should be cleaned
before storing the tool or if the bar or chain appear
to be dirty.
The rails should be cleaned every time the chain is
removed.
To clean the Bar rails.
1. Remove Housing-Cover, Bar and Chain. (see
section ASSEMBLY)
2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar tool,
clear the residue from the inner groove of the
bar. (See Fig. Q)
3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly.
Conditions which require Chain and Guide Bar
maintenance:
• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
• Saw has to be forced through the cut.
• Inadequate supply of oil to the bar and chain.
Check the condition of the Guide Bar each time the
chain is sharpened. A worn Guide Bar will damage
