Specific Safety Warnings
for Pole + Pruning saw
1. Only the pole + pruning saw operator should be in the
work area.
2. Do not use the pole + pruning saw to cut down trees.
3. Always use two hands when operating the pole + pruning
saw. Grip the pole + pruning saw securely with one hand
on the trigger and the other hand on the pole.
4. Before starting the pole + pruning saw, make sure that the
saw chain is not in contact with any object.
5. Do not allow the pole + pruning saw to make contact with
grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.
6. Do not force the pole + pruning 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.
7. 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.
8. During transport, hold the pole at its balance point, with
the guide bar and chain facing to the rear.
9. Do not cut small brush and saplings with the pole +
pruning saw. Small branches may catch in the chain and
be whipped towards the operator, which could pull the
operator off balance.
10. Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming.
Always position yourself outside the path of falling debris.
11. Keep a firm, steady pressure on the pole + pruning saw
while cutting. Do not try to cut limbs larger in diameter
than the length of the guide bar.
12. Keep other people and pets away from the cutting end of
the pole + pruning saw and at a safe distance away from
the work area.
Kickback
m
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, the saw may rapidly kick up and back towards the
operator. Material pinching the chain may also push the saw
back rapidly towards the operator. Either of these reactions
may cause you to lose control of the pole + pruning saw, which
could result in serious personal injury. Follow the necessary
precautions indicated below to avoid kickbacks.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole + pruning
saw, one hand gripping the trigger and the other hand
gripping the pole. Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around the trigger and the pole.
• Keep all guards in place on the pole + pruning saw. Make
sure they are in proper working order.
• Do not overreach or extend arms above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Never try cutting through two branches at the same time.
Only cut one at a time.
• Do not bury the guide bar nose or try to cut by boring the
guide bar nose into the wood.
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch
the chain.
• Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.
• Use the chain and guide bar supplied with this pole +
pruning saw. Only use genuine Snow Joe
replacement parts designed specifically for use with this
pole + pruning saw.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep the chain sharp and
properly tensioned.

are not included. They must be purchased separately.
Model 24V-HCSWP-CT is compatible with the 24V iON+
System batteries and chargers. See page 21 for more
information.
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling
of the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor
care of high-performance batteries are the main factors
responsible for personal and/or product damage.
