Information about the battery

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.
For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 77°F (25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
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.
Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this posesa risk of explosion.
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 266ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Information about the charger and the charging process

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 different mains voltage.

Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Keep the battery charger, battery pack(s) and the cordless tool out of the reach of children.
Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
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.
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.
Never use or charge batteries 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 suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
Do not use batteries that have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
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.

Cutting Tips for Pole Chain Saw

CAUTION!

Before starting the saw, remove the oil tank cap and add bar & chain oil to the top of the oil level window (Fig. 24). One minute of use will consume approximately 0.15 fl oz (4 ml) of oil. Refill when the oil level drops to 1/4 of a tank.

NOTE: Your pole chain saw head is equipped with an automatic oil pump for bar and chain oiling. You must add bar and chain oil or your pole chain saw will not function.

Cutting Tips for Pole Chain Saw

WARNING! Be sure 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. Place one hand on the soft grip or the telescoping pole, and the other hand on the 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 saw while it is in operation.

CAUTION! The chain will continue to run for several seconds after turning off the tool.

Do not use the pole chain 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 off balance, or spring back.

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

Prior to each cutting session, run through the daily checklist.

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.

KICKBACK DANGER ZONE

WARNING! 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. 25). 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 chain 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 off 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 specific situation (Fig. 26). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft to the ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside of limb) increases.

Basic Cutting Procedure

This unit with the chain saw head is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to recommended 6.5 in. (16.5 cm), not to exceed a Max. cut of 7.5 in. (19 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. 26).
Squeeze the On/Off trigger 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 first to allow the top branches more room to fall.
When pruning trees, it is important not to make the finishing cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off 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 first cut.
Your second cut should over cut to drop the branch off (Fig. 27). Be prepared to balance the weight of the pole chain saw when the limb falls.
When re-starting the motor, always keep the ON/Off trigger switch pressed.
NOTE: The motor only runs when the ON/Off trigger switch is operated and shuts off when the ON/Off trigger switch is released.
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 On/Off trigger 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

Wait for the blade to stop, wait five minutes for the saw to cool, remove the battery, and wear gloves to protect your hands from the chain teeth.
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.
If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.

Maintenance + Care

WARNING! 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. 27). 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. 28).

Chain Tension

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 telescoping lock and assembly lock are intact and in proper working order

Chain Sharpening

WARNING! To ensure that the 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”). You need a certain amount of skill and experience to avoid damaging the cutting edges.

Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 29):

Secure the bar firmly, with the chain mounted, in a suitable vise.
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.
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 file any projecting parts with a flat file, rounding off the edges (Fig. 29).
After sharpening, remove all traces of filing 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 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
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.
