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 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.
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
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. G1,
G2).
8. Refit the chain to the bar. Note the correct
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
IMPORTANT: 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
