SAW MAINTENANCE AND 

KICKBACK SAFETY

Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. 
Proper cleaning of saw and chain and guide bar 
maintenance 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.

MAINTENANCE  AND 

STORAGE OF CHAIN SAW

1.   Remove the battery pack from the saw
•   When not in use.
•   Before moving from one place to another
•   Before servicing.
•   Before changing accessories or attachments, 

such as saw chain and guard bar.

2.  Inspect chain saw before and after each 

use. Check saw closely if guard or other 
part has been damaged. Check for any 
damage that may affect operator safety or 
operation of saw. Check for alignment or 
binding of moving parts. Check for broken 
or damaged parts. Do not use chain saw if 
damage affects safety or operation. Have 
damage repaired by authorized service 
center. To locate an authorized service 
center, visit www.worx.com

3.  Maintain chain saw with care.
•   Never expose saw to rain.
•   Keep chain sharp, clean, and lubricated for 

better and safer performance.

•   Follow steps outlined in this manual to 

sharpen chain.

•   Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and 

grease.

•   Keep all screws and nuts tight.
4.  When servicing, use only identical 

replacement parts.

5.  When not in use, always store chain saw
•   In a high or locked place, out of children’s 

reach.

•   In a dry 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.
Turn the bar over, top rail becoming bottom 
and bottom rail becoming top, around every 5 
hours of use. 

To clean the Bar rails:

1.  Remove chain cover and bar and chain. 

(see section ASSEMBLY)

2.  Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar 

suitable tool, clear the residue from the 
rails of the bar. (See Fig. V)

3.  Make sure to clean oil passages 

thoroughly.

Conditions which require 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 the chain and make cutting difficult.
After each use, with unit disconnected from 
power source, clean all sawdust from the 
guide bar and sprocket hole.
When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to 
restore square edges and sides.

File Rail Edges 

and Sides

Square

Worn Groove

Correct Groove

Replace the guide bar when the groove is 
worn, the guide bar is bent or cracked, or 
when excess heating or burring of the rails 
occurs. If replacement is necessary, use only 
the guide bar specified for your saw in the 
repair parts list or on the decal located
on the chain saw.

Replacing Bar & Chain

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.
