Basic Cutting Procedures
m
WARNING!
This unit is designed for trimming branches
and limbs up to 4.5 in. (11.4 cm), not to exceed a max.
cut of 4.5 in. (11.4 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.
• Grip the saw firmly on the handle grip.
• Squeeze the trigger switch and let the chain accelerate to
full speed before entering the cut.
• Keep the unit running the entire time you are cutting,
maintaining a steady speed.
• Let the chain do the work; exert only light downward
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or
unit can result.
• Do not put the pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.
• Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent falling.
• Do not cut above chest height since it is difficult to
control kickback forces with a saw held high.

WARNING!
Always remove the battery before
performing any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs to your
cordless pruning 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 ventilation slots clean and free of sawdust and debris.
General Cleaning
It's recommended to clean the pruning saw immediately after
each use for best performance. Use a cloth, a paintbrush
or a brush to remove dust and wood splinters. Always keep
the ventilation slots clean and free from obstructions. Clean
the housing of the pruning saw regularly with a damp cloth
and somewhat soft soap. Do not use any cleaning or solvent
materials. Make sure that no water or any other liquid can get
inside the cordless power tool.
Clean the sprocket area with a brush or compressed air
(Fig. 11).
Replacing the Guide Bar and Chain
NOTE: When replacing the guide bar and chain, use only
identical replacement parts. Make sure the battery is not
inserted in the compartment before proceeding with operation.
m
WARNING!
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 efficiency of the
machine. If in doubt, contact an authorized Snow Joe
Sun Joe dealer or call the Snow Joe
®
service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
