Operating Manual

Chain Saw WG303E
When working on a slope, operate above or to the side 
of the trunk or laying tree.
Be careful not to trip over tree stumps, branches, roots, 
etc.
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (SEE FIG. L)
There is a high risk of accidents when sawing wood, 
branch or trees under tension. Be extremely careful.
Leave saw jobs like these to professionals.
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 chain 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 chain saw.
MAINTENANCE
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the 
mains plug from the socket.
NOTE: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the 
following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose, 
dislodged or damaged chain and guide bar, loose 
fixings and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and 
correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or 
repairs before using the chain saw.
If the chain saw should happen to fail despite the care 
taken in manufacturing and testing, repair should be 
carried out by an authorized customer service agent.
If the replacement of the supply cord is 
necessary, this has to be done by the 
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a 
safety hazard.
Before returning, ensure all oil in the oil tank has 
been emptied.
Replacing/Changing Chain and guide bar
Fit the chain and guide bar as described in “Assembly 
and Tensioning  Chain”.
The circular groove of the guide bar will wear 
particularly on the lower edge with time. When 
replacing the chain turn the chain bar 180° to allow even 
wear, thus extending chain bar life.
Check drive sprocket. If it is worn out or damaged due 
to strain, have it exchanged by an authorized service 
agent.
