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 first 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 + pruning saw, and therefore pose a safety risk.

  1. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion.
  2. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
  3. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. A complete discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. For optimum battery performance, charge the battery pack frequently. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
  4. Protect batteries 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.
  5. 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 suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
  6. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for safety reasons.

IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF trigger switch any more if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may damage the battery pack.

Preparation

Adjusting Chain Tension

⚠ WARNING! Use protective gloves when handling the bar and chain.

  1. Make sure the pruning saw is off and the battery is removed.
  2. To tighten the chain, turn the tensioning wheel clockwise until you meet some resistance. Prior to use, a cold chain should have no slack on the underside of the guide bar, while still allowing you to rotate the chain by hand without binding. Be aware that a chain tensioned while warm, may be too tight upon cooling. (Fig. 12).

Fig. 12 SUNJOE Tensioning wheel

  1. To check the chain tension, lightly pull the chain 1/8" (3 mm) away from bottom of guide bar. If the chain snaps back into place upon release, the tension is correct. During normal operation, the chain will heat up and expand causing the chain sag slightly by approximately 0.05 in. (\~1.25 mm) (Fig. 13).

NOTE: A new chain will stretch. Check the tension of a new chain frequently during the first two hours of operation, after disconnecting the battery and allowing the chain to cool down.

Fig. 13 0.05 in. (1.25 mm) Warm chain after use - properly tensioned

SUNJOE Too loose Warm chain after use - requires tensioning

  1. Using the included wrench, turn the tensioning wheel counter-clockwise to loosen the chain (Fig. 14).

Fig. 14 Wrench Tensioning wheel

Chain Lubrication

WARNING! Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the bar and chain. Only use a good quality bar and chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws. Do not use oil containing impurities.

IMPORTANT! The bar and chain 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 effectively. Used or poor quality oil does not guarantee good lubrication and reduces the lifespan of the chain and bar.

  1. Take off the oil tank cap from the top of the pruning saw. Then fill the oil tank up to top of the oil tank indicator marked with the word "MAX" (Fig. 15).

Fig. 15 Bar and chain oil Oil tank cap SUNJOE Oil tank indicator

  1. During operation, press the compression cap 3-4 times every 30 minutes to lubricate the chain (Fig. 16).

NOTE: Before storing the unit, press the compression cap 3-4 times and run the saw for 30 seconds to lubricate the chain evenly to prevent corrosion.

Fig. 16 Compression cap SUNJOE

Breaking-in your Pruning Saw

It is recommended to break-in your pruning saw every time a new chain is installed.

  1. Remove the battery and adjust the chain tension.
  2. Insert the battery and switch on the pruning saw and leave the motor running idle for approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the battery and check the chain tension again. If necessary, re-tighten the chain.
  4. Afterwards make only easy cuts for approximately 30 minutes. Always ensure sufficient lubrication of the saw chain! Only use the pruning saw for heavier cuts and greater cutting depths after the break-in period.

Safety Checklist

To help maintain your cordless pruning saw for optimum performance and safety, we recommend you complete this checklist prior to each work session.

Chain Sharpening

WARNING! To ensure that the saw works safely and effectively, 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 however, possible to sharpen the existing chain if 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:

  • Sawing creates sawdust instead of wood chips
    • Cutting becomes difficult
    • The saw does not cut straight
    • There are excessive vibrations

A professional 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 decide sharpen the chain by yourself, it's recommended to purchase the Sun Joe® 24V-CSSHRP-LTE chain saw sharpener, which can be powered by the same iON+ 24V battery that comes with this cordless pruning saw. Visit sunjoe.com or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) to order.

Manual Chain Sharpening Tools (not included)

To sharpen the chain manually, you will require the following tools.

  • 5/32 in. (4 mm) round file
  • File guide
  • Flat file
  • Depth gauge tool
  • Felt-tip marker

Manual Chain Sharpening Procedure

  1. Tighten the chain if loose. Then secure the guide bar in a vice or clamp.
  2. Mark one of the cutters on the top of the guide bar with a felt-tip marker to indicate where you started.
  3. Insert your round file into the file guide.
  4. Place the file and file guide into the cutter at a 30^ angle. Then file in a forward motion in 5-6 even strokes, while maintaining the file at the correct angle and parallel to the ground until the cutting edge of the cutter is shiny (Fig. 31).

NOTE: Most file guides have 30^ and 35^ angles etched on their upper side to help you preserve the angle as you file.

Fig. 31 File forward 30° File guide Vice Round file 30°

  1. File every cutter on one side of the chain until you reach the one you marked before turning the saw over on the other side to sharpen the rest. Use gloves or a screwdriver to advance the chain as you progress from one cutter to the other (Fig. 32).

NOTE: File the cutter on the opposite side of the chain if right handed or file the cutter on your side if left handed.

ABOVE ALL ELSE, Snow Joe, LLC (“Snow Joe”) is dedicated to you, our customer. We strive to make your experience as pleasant as possible. Unfortunately, there are times when a Snow Joe ^® , Sun Joe ^® , or Aqua Joe ^® product (“Product”) does not work or breaks under normal operating conditions. We think it’s important that you know what you can expect from us. That’s why we have a Limited Warranty (“Warranty”) for our Products.

OUR WARRANTY:

Snow Joe warrants new, genuine, powered and non-powered Products to be free from defects in material or workmanship when used for ordinary household use for a period of two years from the date of purchase by the original, end-user purchaser when purchased from Snow Joe or from one of Snow Joe's authorized sellers with proof of purchase. Because Snow Joe is unable to control the quality of its Products sold by unauthorized sellers, unless otherwise prohibited by law, this Warranty does not cover Products purchased from unauthorized sellers. If your Product does not work or there's an issue with a specific part that is covered by the terms of this Warranty, Snow Joe will elect to either (1) send you a free replacement part, (2) replace the Product with a new or comparable product at no charge, or (3) repair the Product. How cool is that!

This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State.

You can register online at snowjoe.com/register, or by printing and mailing in a registration card available online from our website, or by calling our Customer Service Department at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563), or by e-mailing us at help@snowjoe.com. Failure to register your Product will not diminish your warranty rights. However, registering your Product will allow Snow Joe to better serve you with any of your customer service needs.

This Warranty is extended by Snow Joe to the original purchaser and original owner of the Product.
