Safety Instructions

All Operators Must Read These Instructions Before Use

Always follow these safety guidelines. Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury or death.

⚠️DANGER! This indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not followed, will result in serious injury or death.

⚠ WARNING! This indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

⚠️CAUTION! This indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

General Safety

WARNING! When using electric yard tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

  1. Keep guards in place – Protective guards should be checked periodically to ensure they are properly fitted and in correct working order.
  2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Check that adjusting wrenches are removed from the saw before

substantial non-skid footware, and close-fitting clothing is recommended when working outdoors with power tools.

  1. Wear protective hair coverings to contain long hair.
  2. Always wear safety glasses and ear defenders to provide eye and ear protection – Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses and do not provide the same protection as safety glasses.
  3. Wear face or dust masks - If the cutting operation is dusty, the use of a face or dust mask specially designed to filter out miscoscopic particles is recommended.
  4. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
  5. Maintain tools with care – Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
  6. Disconnect tool – Disconnect the pole chain saw from the power supply when not in use, before servicing, when transporting, or when changing the chain or other accessories.
  7. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting - Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool into a power source.
  8. Use recommended accessories – Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
  9. Check for damaged parts - Before each use, repair or replace any guard or part that is damaged. In addition, check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving

Electrical Safety

  1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the pole chain saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
  2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
    Before use, check that the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
  3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL-rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way.
    If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The extension cord plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord receptacle or extension cord plug in any way.

Specific Safety Rules For Pole Chain Saws

⚠ WARNING! SHOCK HAZARD! – To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate the pole chain saw within 50 ft (15 m) of overhead wires. Failure to follow this instruction could result in severe personal injury.

Operating Tips For Pole Chain Saws

  • Stay alert. Use common sense while operating the unit.
  • Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered areas invite

  • Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain while operating the pole chain saw.

  • Do not force the pole chain saw while cutting. Apply light pressure. It will perform more effectively and safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.
  • 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.
  • Do not carry a plugged-in unit. Carry the pole chain saw from one place to another with the unit unplugged. During transport, hold the pole at its balance point (close to the saw end), with the guide bar and chain facing to the rear.
  • Do not cut small brush and saplings with the pole chain saw. Small branches may catch in the chain and be whipped towards the operator, which could pull the operator off balance.

Kickback

⚠ WARNING! 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.

Sun Joe ^® replacement parts designed specifically for use with this pole chain saw.

- Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep the chain sharp with proper tension.

Pole Chain Saw Trimming Precautions

  • Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming. Always position yourself outside the path of falling debris.
  • Never stand on a ladder or other type of unstable support while using the pole chain saw.
  • Keep all handles and grip surfaces clean, dry, and free from oil and grease.
    • Always use both hands to operate the pole chain saw. Keep a firm, steady pressure on the pole chain saw while cutting, but do not try to cut limbs larger in diameter than the length of the guide bar.
  • Keep other people and pets away from the cutting end of the pole chain saw and at a safe distance away from the work area.
  • Do not use the pole chain saw near cable, electric power, or telephone lines. Maintain a minimum clearance of 50 ft (15 m) from all power lines.

  • 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 electric pole chain saw, always wait at least five seconds after stopping before restarting the saw.

⚠ WARNING! Be certain that the chain is not in contact with any object when you start the motor.

⚠ WARNING! Keep hands away from chain. Keep hands on handles. Do not overreach.

A good, firm grip on the tool using both hands will help you maintain control. When using the pole chain saw, place one hand on the front handle foam grip and the other hand on the rear handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the pole and handle. A firm grip combined with proper positioning of the handle against your body will help you maintain control of the saw. Do not let go of the pole chain saw while it is in operation.

⚠ WARNING! Do not operate the pole chain saw in a

⚠ WARNING! Do not cut trees near electrical wires.

⚠ WARNING! Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar and chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws. One minute of use will consume approximately 0.15 fl oz. (4 ml) of oil.

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.

⚠ WARNING! Be aware of the cord while operating the saw. Keep the cord away from the chain. Be careful not to trip over the extension cord.

Basic Cutting Procedure

This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 7.5 in. (19 cm) in diameter depending on the wood type. 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. 24).
- Squeeze the trigger 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

Sun Joe SWJ802E-M - Basic Cutting Procedure - 1

text_image Load Second Cut First Cut 1/3 Diameter Finishing Cut Fig. 25
  • Now make your finishing 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 trigger ON/OFF 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 pole chain saw.
  • 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 five minutes for the saw to reel, unplug the power reel, and wear gloves to protect

Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control, which can result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a pole chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Take the following precautions to minimize kickback:

  • Before you start the unit, make sure the pole chain saw is not contacting any object.
    • Always grip the pole and handle firmly with both hands when the unit is running. Place one hand on the pole and your other hand on the molded handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the pole and handle. A firm grip combined with proper positioning of the handle against your body will help you maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.
  • Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions.
  • Do not let the kickback danger zone area of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could be hit while you are operating the pole chain saw (Fig. 15).
  • Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze the ON/OFF trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.
  • Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
  • Extend the pole only to the length required to reach the limb cut. Do not extend the rear handle above waist height.

Maintenance

Please contact an authorized Snow Joe ^x + Sun Joe ^x dealer or call the Snow Joe ^x + Sun Joe ^x customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for all maintenance operations not foreseen in this manual. Any operation

⚠ WARNING! Always unplug the power cord before performing any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs to your 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.

Motor Cooling

To avoid overheating and damage to the motor, always keep the cooling air vents clean and free of sawdust and debris.

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. 26). 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 flats on the drive links hang out of the bar groove (Fig. 26).

text_image Flats are not visible here Approximately 050 in (4.05 mm)

Chain Sharpening

WARNING! To ensure that the chain saw works safely and efficiently, 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 specific 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 difficult;
- 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 yourself, use special round-section files with the right diameter depending on the type of chain (see "Chain Maintenance Table" pg. 17). You need a certain amount of skill and experience to avoid damaging the cutting edges.

Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 27):

  • Secure the bar firmly, with the chain mounted, in a suitable vice.
  • Tighten the chain if it is loose.
  • Mount the file in the guide and then insert it in the tooth at a constant angle from the cutting edge.

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 file 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

Chain Sprocket

Regularly check the condition of the sprocket and replace it when wear exceeds 0.5 mm (Fig. 28).

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