Worx WG307 Manual page 27

use your left hand (I) to grip the front
handle and your right hand (II) to grip the
Rear Handle(3). Thumbs and fingers must
wrap around saw handles (See Fig. K1,K2).
3. IMPORTANT: Make sure your footing is
firm and stable. Do not use the Jawsaw
while standing on piles of branches or
while standing on a ladder.
HINT: When cutting branches which are
lying on the ground, place one foot on the
branch to prevent limb from moving (See
Fig. L).
WARNING! Do not put your foot
in the Jaw teeth, keep your foot
a safe distance from the tool. (See
Fig. L)
4. Position the tool with the Jaw placed over
the desired limb to be cut.
WARNING:
• DO NOT force the cut. Let the Saw Chain
pull through the wood.
• When starting the saw make sure the
chain is not in contact with the limb or
branch to be cut.
5. Switch on the tool.
6. Push the Rear Handle towards the Front
Handle to complete the cut.
7. Switch off the tool after the Guide Bar and
Saw Chain have returned to their starting
position.
WARNING:
• When completing the cut (step
6 above) do not push the handle
forcefully, let the spinning Saw Chain
pull itself through the wood.
• Using too much force on the Rear
Handle when cutting can overload the
tools motor.
CAUTION: At the end of each cut
be prepared to support the tool's
weight.
TRIMMING BRANCHES:
Before cutting any branch, you must consider
the following:
1. Is the branch heavy, will it damage
anything when it falls?
• Large branches should be cut in small
Limbing and trimming Electric Jawsaw
sections starting at the farthest end from
the tree.
• Always check where the branch will fall
BEFORE commencing the cut.
• Never stand under a branch being cut.
2. Will the branch split before it is cut
TM
through? (See Fig. M1, M2)
• To prevent splitting, turn the Jawsaw
upsidedown and make a small cut (less
than 1/3 diameter of the limb) from the
underside.
• Then turn the Jawsaw
normal position and cut from top down,
slightly further out from the trunk than
the initial undercut.
3. Is the branch under tension, will it spring
suddenly or trap the saw when it is cut?
• Always stand outside the path of a
springy branch. It can strike suddenly
with surprising force and cause injury or
loss of control of the saw.
• Always cut from the tension side of a
branch, usually the top of a branch on a
standing tree, but can be any side of the
branch of a fallen tree.
• If the cut starts to close on the saw, you
are cutting from the wrong side, keep
the saw running and pull the saw to
retract the blade from the cut.
• If the saw becomes trapped do not try
to pull it out with excessive force, lift the
branch to open the cut while an assistant
removes the saw.
KICKBACK SAFETY
This saws chain is covered by a guard,
however kickback can still occur. The following
steps will reduce the risk of kickback
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is
running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around saw handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make
sure they work properly.
• Do not overreach.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to right side of saw. This
keeps your body from being in direct line
with Saw Chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything
when the Saw Chain is moving.
• Do not bury Guide Bar nose or try to plunge
cut (boring into wood using bar nose).
