Worx WG307 Manual page 28

• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces
that may pinch the Saw Chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a
previous cut.
• Never use a dull or loose Saw Chain. Keep
the Saw Chain sharp with proper tension.
PROPERLY USING THE JAWSAW
• Use the Jawsaw
footing. Hold the Jawsaw
hand side of your body. (See Fig. N)
• The Saw Chain must be running at full
speed before it makes contact with the
wood. Use the metal Jaw Teeth (9) to
secure the saw onto the wood before
starting to cut. (See Fig. O)
• Do not operate the Jawsaw
fully extended or attempt to saw areas
which are difficult to reach, or on a ladder.
(See Fig. P)
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (SEE
FIG. Q)
WARNING: When cutting a limb
that is under tension, use extreme
caution. Be alert for wood springing
back. When wood tension is released,
the limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends,
28
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 Jawsaw with the ground. When sawing
TM
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
tool.
LIMBING A TREE (See Fig. R)
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. Branches under tension against
the ground should be cut from the bottom up
to avoid binding the Jawsaw
BUCKING A LOG (SEE FIG. S)
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is
important to make sure your footing is firm and
your weight is evenly distributed on both feet.
Follow the simple directions for easy cutting.

WARNING:(See Fig. T)
• If on slope, make sure log will not roll
down hill. Secure log by using wooden
stakes. Drive wooden stakes into ground
on downhill side of log. Stand on uphill
side of log while cutting. Log may roll after
cutting. (See Fig. T)
• Never try cutting through two logs at
same time. This could increase the risk of
kickback.
• While cutting log, never hold log with your
hand or leg.
• While cutting log, never allow another
person to hold log.
• Turn off and unplug saw before moving
from one place to another.
