trigger and the other hand on the pole.

4. Before starting the pole chain saw, make sure that the saw

chain is not in contact with any object.

5. Do not allow the pole chain saw to make contact with

grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts

6. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blades or

chain. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut

when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is o when

clearing jammed material. The blades or chain will continue

moving for a while after the tool is turned o. A moment

of inattention while operating the power tool may result in

serious personal injury.

7. Do not force the pole chain saw while cutting. Apply light

pressure. It will perform more eectively and safely if it is

used at the rate for which it was designed.

8. Use extreme caution when cutting a limb that is under

tension. When wood tension is released, the limb could

spring back and strike the operator, causing severe injury

or death.

9. During transport, hold the pole at its balance point, with

the guide bar and chain facing to the rear.

10. Do not cut small brush and saplings with the pole chain

saw. Small branches may catch in the chain and be

mWARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

1. Recharge only with the charger specied by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of re when used with

another battery pack.

2. Use appliances only with specically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and re.

3. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,

screws or other small metal objects that can make a

connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the

battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.

4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,

ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

5. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged

or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of

injury.

6. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or

excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature

above 104°F (40.5°C) may cause explosion.

7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the

battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature

range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly

or at temperatures outside of the specied range may

damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

8. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the

battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the

instructions for use and care.

Cleaning the Tool

mWARNING! Never let any liquid get inside the motor

housing and NEVER immerse any part of the housing in liquid.

1. Stop the motor and remove the battery.

2. Clean dirt and debris from the body of the tool, using a

damp cloth with a mild detergent.

Kickback

mWARNING! Kickback may occur when the nose or tip

of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes

in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

AVOID CONTACTING THE GUIDE BAR TIP WITH ANY

OBJECT. In some cases, when the tip makes contact with an

object, it may cause a fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide

bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain

along the top of the guide bar may also push the guide bar

rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions

may cause you to lose control of the pole chain saw, which

could result in serious personal injury.

• Kickback safety devices on this pole chain saw include

a skip chain and a low kickback guide bar. These will

reduce, but not entirely prevent, kickbacks. Follow the

necessary precautions indicated in this operator's manual

to avoid kickbacks.

• Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw,

one hand gripping the trigger and the other hand gripping

the pole. Use a rm grip. Thumbs and ngers must wrap

around the trigger and the pole.

• Keep all guards in place on the pole chain saw. Make sure

they are in proper working order.

4

• Do not overreach or extend arms above shoulder height.

• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.

• Never try cutting through two branches at the same time.

Only cut one at a time.

• Do not bury the guide bar nose or try to cut by boring the

guide bar nose into the wood.

• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch

the chain.

• Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.

• Use the low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with

this pole chain saw. Only use genuine Snow Joe® +

Sun Joe® replacement parts designed specically for use

with this pole chain saw.

• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep the chain sharp and

properly tensioned.

Battery & Charger

Safety Instructions

We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery

pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,

durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have

a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially

formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.

This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the

best possible battery packs.

Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be

exercised when handling batteries. The following points must

be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only

be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling

of the battery pack can cause cell damage.

IMPORTANT! Analyses conrm that incorrect use and poor

care of high-performance batteries are the main factors

responsible for personal and/or product damage.

mWARNING! Use only approved replacement batteries;

other batteries may damage the power tool and cause it to

malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.

Information about the battery

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless power tool is

only partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged

completely before you use the tool for the rst time.

2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge

cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.

3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 77°F

(25°C) and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging

process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest

when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when

new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no

longer capable of meeting the high power requirements

needed for the proper operation of your cordless pole

chain saw, and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw the battery pack into an open re as this

poses a risk of explosion.

6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to re.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive

discharge will damage the battery cells. The most

common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage

or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working

as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably

or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the

battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect the battery and the tool from overloads. Overloads

will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside

the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent

externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries

that have been dropped from a height of more than

3 feet (1 meter) or those that have been exposed to violent

shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to

be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may

have suered serious damage. In such instances, please

read the waste disposal information for proper battery

disposal.

10. If the battery pack suers overloading and overheating,

the integrated protective cuto will switch o the

equipment for safety reasons.

IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF trigger switch any

more if the protective cut-o has been activated. This may

damage the battery pack.

11. Recharge only with the charger specied by the

battery pack may create a risk of re when used with

another battery pack.

12. Use appliances only with specically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and re.

13. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,

ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

14. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged

or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of

injury.

15. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or

excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature

above 265ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.

16. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the

battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature

range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly

or at temperatures outside of the specied range may

damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

Information about the charger and the

charging process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the

battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger

to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating

plate. Never connect it to a dierent mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage.

Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and

sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay

by a qualied technician at an authorized Snow Joe® +

Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe®

customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE

(1-866-766-9563).

3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

grounded appliances. Unmodied plugs and matching

outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack and the cordless

tool out of the reach of children.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other

cordless tools.

6

6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become

warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature

before inserting it into the charger to recharge.

7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum

charging times. These charging times only apply to

discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or

partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging

and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for

days on end.

8. Never use or charge the battery if you suspect that it has

been more than 12 months since the last time they were

charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack

has already suered dangerous damage (exhaustive

discharge).

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will

cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a re.

10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat

during the charging process, as the battery cells may have

suered dangerous damage.

11. Do not use batteries that have suered curvature or

deformation during the charging process or those that

exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing,

cracking, etc.).

12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum

recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete

discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging

of the battery cells.

for moving the machine and its packaging.

mDANGER! Never start the motor before installing the

guide bar, chain, and chain/sprocket end cover. Without all

these parts in place, the clutch can y o or explode, exposing

the user to potentially serious injuries.

Installing/Replacing Guide Bar +

Cutting Chain

mWARNING! Always wear heavy-duty gloves when

handling the bar and chain. Mount the bar and chain very

carefully so as not to impair the safety and eciency of the

machine. If in doubt, contact an authorized Snow Joe® +

Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer

service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

NOTE: When replacing the guide bar and chain, use only

identical replacement parts. Make sure the pole chain saw

is disconnected with the battery before proceeding with

installation.

NOTE: When you rst purchase your chain saw, the chain

will come separately in the chain + bar box. Refer only to the

instructions for tting the chain and bar (from step 5). Should

you need to replace the chain and bar in the future, follow all

the steps detailed below.

1. Unscrew the end cover knob counterclockwise to unlock

and remove the chain/sprocket end cover (Figs. 3 to 4).

2. Remove the bar and chain from the mounting surface

(Fig. 5).

3. Remove the old chain from the bar.

4. Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten

any kinks. THE SHARP SIDE OF THE TEETH MUST

FACE AWAY FROM YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF THE

CHAIN ROTATION INDICATED ON THE GUIDE BAR

. If the teeth face backwards,

turn the loop over (Fig. 6).

5. Starting at the tip, mount the chain drive links into the

bar groove, leaving a loop at the back of the bar. The

chain will loosely t until it is placed on the sprocket

(Figs. 7 – 8).

NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain

. If the chain is mounted

backwards, the saw will vibrate abnormally and will not

cut.

6. Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop

around the sprocket. Fit the bar ush against the mounting

surface so that the bar stud hole are aligned with the long

slot of the bar (Fig. 9).

7. Replace the chain/sprocket end cover by positioning

the cover onto the saw head. Fit the end cover knob by

inserting the bar stud into the bar stud hole. Tighten the

end cover knob, but leave the bar free to move for tension

adjustment (Fig. 10).

8. Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain

tensioner ring clockwise until the chain seats snugly

against the bar with the drive links in the bar groove

(Fig. 11).

NOTE: The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no

sag on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug,

but can be rotated by hand without binding. For more

information on chain tensioning, see the maintenance

section beginning on pg. 16.

Prepare to Work

Check the Machine

mWARNING! Before performing any checks,

adjustments, repairs or maintenance on the machine, make

sure the battery is not inserted in the compartment.

mCAUTION! The chain will continue to run for several

seconds after turning o the tool.

Before starting work please:

• Check that all the screws on the machine and the guide

bar are tightly fastened;

• Check that the chain is tensioned correctly, sharp and

there are no signs of any damage;

• Check that hand grips and protection devices are clean

and dry, correctly mounted and securely fastened to the

machine;

• Check that the On/O switch and the safety lock button

move freely without forcing and return automatically and

rapidly back to their neutral positions;

• Check that the On/O switch remains locked until the

safety lock button is pressed;

• Make sure the cooling air vents are not clogged with

sawdust or debris;

• Check that the chain’s oil level is not below the "MIN" level

mark; if necessary, top up the oil to 1 cm from the rim of

the ller.

NOTE: You must ll the chain oil tank with bar and chain

oil before using your chain saw.

Adjusting the Chain Tension

1. Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning ring

clockwise (Fig. 12). A cold chain will be correctly tensioned

when there is no slack on the underside of the guide bar;

the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without

binding.

2. The tension is correct when the drive links on the chain do

not slip out of the chain guide on the bar when the chain is

pulled up from the middle of the bar (Fig. 13).

NOTE: If the chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the

end cover knob slightly and turn the chain tension knob

1/4 turn counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the guide bar up

and retighten the cover cap knob. Ensure that the chain

can be rotated by hand without binding.

NOTE: A new chain tends to stretch; check the chain

tension frequently, and adjust tension as required.

Chain Lubrication

IMPORTANT! Only use a good quality bar and chain oil

designed specically for use with chain saws to ensure optimal

lubrication of the cutting parts. Do not use oil containing

impurities to avoid clogging the tank lter and permanently

damaging the oiler.

IMPORTANT! The chain lubricating oil is bio-degradable. The

use of mineral oil or engine oil can have a serious impact on

the environment. It is essential that you use good quality oil to

lubricate the cutting parts eectively. Used or poor quality oil

R

does not guarantee good lubrication and reduces the lifespan

of the chain and bar.

IMPORTANT! Before each machine use, the oil level should

be checked and topped up to 1 cm from "MIN" level mark.

To ll the oil tank, remove the oil tank cap and add the

recommended bar and chain oil. The oil level must not drop

below the "MIN" level mark, as indicated beside the oil level

indicator window (Fig. 14).

Operation

Starting and Stopping

mCAUTION! Starting, stopping, and restarting an electric

motor repeatedly within a few seconds can generate a great

deal of heat and damage the motor. To protect the life of your

cordless pole saw, always wait at least ve seconds after

stopping before restarting the saw.

mWARNING! Be sure that the chain is not in contact with

any object when you start the motor.

mWARNING! Keep hands on handles. Do not overreach.

A good, rm grip on the pole saw with both hands will help

you maintain control. Grip the rear handle with your right hand.

Wrap the ngers of your left hand over and around the pole.

A rm grip together with positioning handle against your body

will help you maintain control of the saw.

mWARNING! Do not operate the cordless pole saw in a

tree, on a ladder, or on a scaold. Using the tool under such

circumstances is extremely dangerous.

mCAUTION! The chain will continue to run for several

seconds after turning o the tool.

Do not use the pole saw under wet conditions. Use extreme

caution when cutting small brush, saplings, or limbs under

tension because slender and tense material may catch the

saw and be whipped toward you, pull you o balance, or

spring back.

Do not use the pole saw to cut vines and/or small underbrush.

mWARNING! Do not let familiarity with this type of tool

prevent you from taking all necessary precautions. Remember

that a careless fraction of a second is sucient to inict

serious injury.

mWARNING! Do not cut trees near electrical wires.

mWARNING! Failure to lubricate the chain will cause

damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar

and chain oil designed specically for use with chain saws.

NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in

use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use.

When storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or

longer), be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent

rust on the chain and bar sprocket.

1. Slide the battery into the battery compartment until it

clicks to lock it into position (Fig. 15).

2. To turn the pole chain saw ON, push and hold the safety

lock switch (located on the handle) with your thumb and

then squeeze the On/O switch with your ngers. Once

the tool is running, you can release the safety lock button

(Fig. 16).

3. To turn the tool OFF, release the On/O switch (Fig. 16).

Adjusting the Telescoping Pole

This machine is equipped with two telescoping poles which

provides up to 13 ft (4 m) of overhead reach. To adjust the

telescoping pole, follow the instructions below.

1. Disconnect the saw from the power supply by removing

the battery from the compartment.

2. Unclip the telescoping pole cam-locks to release the

poles. Extend the poles to the desired length (Fig. 17).

3. Lock the pole in position by closing the telescoping lock

(Fig. 18), and ensure that the pole is secured.

mWARNING! Failure to lock the telescoping pole cam-

locks as directed could result in personal injury.

mWARNING! Extent the telescoping poles only as much

as necessary for the cutting job. Remain in full control of the

telescoping pole at all times. Loss of control of the pole saw

could result in possible serious personal injury.

Adjusting the Multi-Angle Head

The pole chain saw head can be rotated for 2 dierent cutting

angles for 0º and 30º (Fig. 19). Follow the below instructions to

adjust angles.

1. Rotate the pole saw head to the desired cutting angle

while pressing the multi-angle head adjustment dial

located on the back (Fig. 19).

2. Release the button when the pole saw head is set to the

desired angle.

NOTE: Failure to properly secure the pole saw head may

result in personal injury and/or property damage.

mWARNING! Always ensure the pole saw head is

securely locked! Do not attempt to use the pole chain saw with

the head in any other position or unlocked!

Cutting Tips for Pole

Chain Saw

Minimize Kickback

mWARNING! Kickback may occur when the moving

chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the

guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the chain

saw in the cut (Fig. 20). Contact at the upper portion of the

tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object

and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning-

fast reverse reaction, which kicks the guide bar up and back

toward the operator. If the pole saw is pinched along the top

of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back

toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss

of saw control, which can throw the operator o balance and

result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety

devices built into the saw. As a user, you should take several

precautions to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or

injury.

Proper Cutting Stance

• Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.

• Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.

• The most typical cutting application is to position the

unit at an angle of 60° or less depending on the specic

situation (Fig. 21). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft

to the ground increases, the diculty of making the rst

cut (from the underside of limb) increases.

Basic Cutting Procedure

This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs

up to recommended 8.5 in. (21.6 cm), not to exceed a Max.

cut of 9.5 in. (24.1 cm) in diameter depending on type of

wood. Practice cutting a few small limbs using the following

technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before you begin a

major sawing operation.

• Take the proper stance in front of the tree with the

saw OFF (Fig. 20).

• Squeeze the On/O switch and let the chain accelerate to

full speed before entering the cut.

• Keep the saw running the entire time you are cutting;

maintain a steady speed.

• Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downward

pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or

unit can result.

• PUSH and PULL – This reaction force is always opposite

to the direction the chain is moving when it is in contact

with the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to

control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the

bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge.

• Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.

Pruning

Pruning is the process of trimming limbs from a live tree.

• Remove long branches in several stages.

• Cut lower branches rst to allow the top branches more

room to fall.

• When pruning trees, it is important not to make the

nishing cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have

cut o the farthest lying limb. This will reduce the weight

and prevent stripping the bark from the main member.

• Under cut the branch 1/3 through for your rst cut.

Your second cut should over cut to drop the branch o

(Fig. 22). Be prepared to balance the weight of the pole

chain saw when the limb falls.

• When re-starting the motor, always keep the On/O switch

pressed.

NOTE: The motor only runs when the On/O switch is

operated and shuts o when the On/O switch is released.

• Now make your nishing cut from the topside of the

branch smoothly and neatly against the main member so

the bark will grow back to seal the wound.

• Release the On/O switch as soon as the cut is

completed. Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will

result in the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched

or trapped in the limb.

Limbing

Limbing is the process of removing branches from a fallen tree.

• You should cut limbs one at a time. Remove the cut limbs

from the work area often to help keep the work area clean

and safe.

• Cut branches under tension from the bottom up to avoid

binding the bar and chain.

• Keep the tree between you and the pole chain saw while

limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch

you are cutting.

If the Saw Becomes Pinched or Trapped

1. Wait for the blade to stop, wait ve minutes for the saw to

cool, remove the battery, and wear gloves to protect your

hands from the chain teeth.

2. If you can reach the limb from the ground, lift the limb

while holding the saw. This should release the “pinch” and

free the saw.

3. If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.

Maintenance + Care

Please contact an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer

or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center

at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for all maintenance

operations not foreseen in this manual. Any operation

performed in an unauthorized service center or by unqualied

personnel will completely invalidate the warranty.

mWARNING! For your safety and that of others:

• Correct maintenance is essential to maintain the original

eciency and safety of the machine over time.

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts.

Damaged parts are to be replaced and never repaired.

• Only use original Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® replacement

parts. Parts that are not of the same quality can seriously

damage the equipment, compromise safety and invalidate

the warranty.

mWARNING! Always remove the battery before

performing any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs to your

cordless pole chain saw.

• Use protective gloves when handling the bar and chain.

• Keep the bar encased in its sheath, except when working

directly on the bar or the chain.

• Never dispose of oils or other polluting materials in

unauthorized places.

Chain Tension

Check the chain tension before using the saw when the chain

is cold. The correct tension of a cold chain is when there is no

slack on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, but

you can rotate it by hand without binding.

During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain

will increase. The drive links of a correctly tensioned warm

chain will hang approximately 0.050 in. (1.25 mm) out of the

bar groove (Fig. 23). Be aware that a chain tensioned while

warm, may be too tight upon cooling. Check the “cold tension”

before next use. The chain must be re-tensioned whenever the

ats on the drive links hang out of the bar groove (Fig. 23).

NOTE: A new chain tends to stretch. Check the chain tension

frequently and re-tension as needed.

Nuts and Screws

Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are tightened

securely. Check that the cam-locks and assembly locks are

intact and in proper working order.

Chain Sharpening

mWARNING! To ensure that the saw works safely and

eciently, it is essential that the cutting components are

well-sharpened. It is highly recommended to replace the

chain once it loses its ability to cut cleanly and safely.

It is possible, however, to sharpen the existing chain if the

sharpening is carefully performed. Any work on the chain

and bar requires specic experience and special tools. For

safety purposes, we recommend you contact an authorized

Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® +

Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE

(1-866-766-9563).

Sharpening is necessary when:

• The sawdust looks like dust;

• Cutting becomes more dicult;

• The cut is not straight;

• Vibrations increase.

An authorized service center will sharpen the chain using the

right tools to ensure minimum removal of material and even

sharpness on all the cutting edges.

If you sharpen the chain by yourself, it's recommended to

purchase Sun Joe® 24V-CSSHRP-LTE chain saw sharpener,

which can be powered by the same 24V iON+ battery with this

cordless pole saw. Visit sunjoe.com or call the Snow Joe® +

Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE

(1-866-766-9563) to order.

Otherwise, use special round-section les with the right

diameter depending on the type of chain (see “Chain

Maintenance Table” on pg. 21). You need a certain amount of

skill and experience to avoid damaging the cutting edges.

Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 24):

• Secure the bar rmly, with the chain mounted, in a

suitable vise.

• Tighten the chain if it is loose.

• Mount the le in the guide and then insert it in the tooth at

a constant angle from the cutting edge.

• Sharpen in a forward motion a few times and repeat this

on all the cutting edges facing the same way (right or left).

• To move the chain forward, use a screwdriver.

• Turn the bar over in the vise and repeat on all the other

cutting edges.

• Check that the depth limiter tooth does not stick out

farther than the inspection tool and le any projecting

parts with a at le, rounding o the edges (Fig. 24).

• After sharpening, remove all traces of ling and dust

and lubricate the chain in an oil bath. Replace the chain

whenever:

– The length of the cutting edges decreases to 5 mm

or less;

– There is too much play between the links and the rivets.

Guide Bar Maintenance

When the guide bar shows signs of wear, turn it over on the

saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. Feathering or

burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar wear. You

should smooth such faults with a le as soon as they occur.

Replace a bar with any of the following faults:

• wear inside the bar rails permitting the chain to

lay over sideways

• bent guide bar

• cracked or broken rails

• spread rails

Turn the saw over, check the underside of the guide bar, and

make sure that the lubrication holes and chain groove are free

from impurities.

Chain Sprocket

Regularly check the condition of the sprocket and replace it

when wear exceeds 0.5 mm (Fig. 25).

Do not mount a new chain with a worn sprocket or vice-versa.
