General Cleaning - SNOWJOE SUNJOE 24V-HCSWP-LTE Manual De Instrucciones

• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts.
Damaged parts are to be replaced and never repaired.
• Only use original Snow Joe
parts. Parts that are not of the same quality can seriously
damage the equipment, compromise safety, and invalidate
the warranty.
• Remove the battery and wait at least five minutes for the
saw to cool before servicing or storing your unit.
• If you drop the saw, carefully inspect it for damage. If the
guide bar is bent, the housing is cracked, the handle is
broken, or if you see any other damage that may affect the
saw's operation, do not use the tool.

WARNING!
Always remove the battery before
performing any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs to your
cordless pruning saw.

• 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.
m
CAUTION!
If you notice anything unusual, such
as excessive vibrations or odd noises, shut the saw OFF
immediately. Remove the battery and check the saw for any
damage.
m
CAUTION!
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 after each use
for best performance. Use a cloth, brush or compressed air
to remove saw dust and splinters from the ventilation slots.
Only clean the housing of the pruning saw with mild soap and
a damp cloth. Never use strong cleaning agents or solvents
to clean the tool. Never immerse any part of the saw or allow
liquids to get inside the cordless power tool.
Storage
• To prevent corrosion, press the compression cap 3-4
times and run the saw for 30 seconds to lubricate the
chain evenly before storage.
• Place the bar sheath over the guide bar before storing.
• Do not store cordless pruning saw near chemicals, such
as fertilizers or other harsh solvents. Do not expose
the plastic parts of the unit to brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, or the like.
These products are often highly corrosive and may cause
permanent damage to the plastic parts of your unit.
• When not in use, your machine should be stored indoors
in a dry place, out of the reach of children.

of the guide bar.
