WARNING! When using electric yard tools, basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of

re, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

1. Keep guards in place – Protective guards should be

checked periodically to ensure they are properly tted and

in correct working order.

2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches – Check that
adjusting wrenches are removed from the saw before

turning it on.

3. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Clear work area of
branches and limbs after each cutting session. Cluttered

areas invite accidents.

4. Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use this machine
in rainy, stormy, damp or wet locations. Do not operate the
unit in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these
units normally spark, and the sparks may ignite fumes.

5. Do not use the chain saw in the rain.

6. Keep bystanders and children away – All bystanders,

including children and pets, should be kept a safe
distance away from the work area.

7. Do not force the tool – It will do the job eectively and

safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.

8. Use the right tool – Do not force the tool or any
attachment on the tool to do a job for which they were
not designed.

9. Wear proper apparel – Do not wear loose articles of

clothing or jewelry since such items may get caught
in moving parts. Use of heavy-duty rubber gloves,
substantial non-skid footwear, and close-tting clothing is

recommended when working outdoors with power tools.

10. Wear protective hair coverings to contain long hair.

11. Always wear safety glasses and ear defenders to
provide eye and ear protection – Everyday eyeglasses

only have impact resistant lenses and do not provide the
same protection as safety glasses.

12. Wear face or dust masks – If the cutting operation is
dusty, the use of a face or dust mask specially designed

to lter out microscopic particles is recommended.

13. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.

14. Maintain tools with care – Keep tools sharp and clean
for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions

of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Chemicals in fertilizers

• Compounds in insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, and
depends on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with

approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are

specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

Chain Saw Use And Care

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The

term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your electric chain
saw.

mWARNING! Turn o the power switch and disconnect

the power source before adjusting, inspecting, servicing

or cleaning the power tool, when changing accessories or
when any other dangerous conditions present themselves.
All maintenance tasks should be performed after the power

tool's rotating parts have stopped completely. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will perform
better with less likelihood of personal or mechanical
damage if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.

2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on

and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the unit from the power source before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle power tools indoors in a dry, locked place

out of the reach of children. Do not allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions access
to the machine. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

Electrical safety

1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should

be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric chain saw. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.

2. Make sure that the mains voltage matches that listed on

the unit's rating label. Using the improper voltage can
damage the motor and injure the user.

3. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.

Before use, check that the extension cord is in good

condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product

will draw. For lengths less than 50 ft (15 m), a No. 14 AWG
(or greater) extension cord should be used. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.

m WARNING m

The appliance plug will t into a polarized extension

cord only one way. If the appliance plug does not t

fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug

still does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension

cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a

polarized wall outlet. The extension cord plug will t into

the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does

not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install

the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug,
extension cord receptacle or extension cord plug in any
way.

5. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from

the extension cord during operation, use the on-board

extension cord restraint hook and/or make a knot as
shown in Table 1.

Chain Saw Safety Warnings

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when

the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw,
make sure the saw chain is not in contact with anything. A
moment of inattention while operating the chain saw may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.

• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the
chain saw with a reversed hand conguration increases
the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. If you are

using the chain saw every day under normal conditions,

you can be exposed to a noise level of 85 dB (A) or higher.

Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will

reduce personal injury by ying debris or accidental

contact with the saw chain.

• Do not operate the chain saw in a tree. Operation of a
chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.

• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw
only when standing on a xed, secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause

a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.

• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be cautious
of spring back. When the tension in the wood bers is
released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator

and/or throw the chain saw out of control.

• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.

The slender material may catch the saw chain and be

whipped toward you or pull you o balance.

• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw
switched o and away from your body. When transporting
or storing the chain saw, always t the cutting bar sheath.

Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and

changing accessories. An improperly tensioned or poorly
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance
for kickback.

• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery and can cause loss of
control.

• Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for any other

purpose. For example, do not use the chain saw to cut

plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Using

the chain saw in these incorrect ways could result in
serious damage to you and your tool.

Causes and Prevention
of Kickback

KICKBACK DANGER ZONE

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. Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the

saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely

exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw.

As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep

your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as detailed below:

• Maintain a rm grip (right hand on the rear handle and
left hand on the front handle with thumbs and ngers
encircling the respective handles) and position your body

and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.

This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the

manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance

instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

• Always observe the safety regulations and follow the

correct sawing techniques.

4

• Ensure safe carrying of the chain saw. Whenever the

machine is to be handled or transported, you must:

– Switch o the motor, wait for the chain to stop and

enable the chain brake;

– Mount the guide bar cover;

– Hold the machine using the hand grips and

position the bar in the opposite direction to that used
during operation.

When using a vehicle to transport the machine, fasten

it rmly and position it so that it is not a danger to any

passengers.

• Before felling or delimbing for the rst time, make sure:

– You have been specically trained to use this type

of equipment;

– Yo u have carefully read the safety regulations and

user instructions contained in this manual;

– You practice rst on logs on the ground or attached to
trestles/saw horses, in order to get familiar with the
machine and the proper cutting techniques.

Safety Chain Brake

In the event that kickback occurs, use your left hand to apply
the chain brake by moving the safety chain brake lever to

position '0' (Fig. A). This will immediately stop the chain.

The operation of the chain brake must be checked prior to
each use.

Protection from environmental inuences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.

2. Protect your power tool from moisture and rain. Moisture

and rain can cause dangerous electrical and motor
damage.

3. Do not use the power tool near vapors and ammable

liquids.

4. Use the power tool only in dry conditions and at an
ambient temperature of 50-104°F (10-40°C).

5. Store your power tool only in dry locations with an
ambient temperature of 50-104°F (10-40°C). Protect the

power tool from humidity and direct sunlight.

mWARNING! To reset the chain brake, disconnect the tool

from the mains power and snap the chain brake backwards

(towards the operator) into position ‘1’ (Fig. A). Recheck the

chain tension before restarting.

Chain tensioner screw

Blade screwdriver

mCAUTION! Failure to lubricate the chain will cause

damage to the chain and bar. Use a good quality bar and chain
oil or, if not available, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be

substituted. One minute of use will consume approximately

0.2  oz. (6 ml) of oil.

NOTE: It's 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 month or longer),

be sure the chain is lightly lubricated. This will prevent rust on
chain and bar sprocket.

mWARNING! Do not use the chain saw with any type of

accessory or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.

Starting the Machine

Before starting the chain saw, remove the oil tank cap and add

bar & chain oil to the top of the oil level window (Fig. 11). One
minute of use will consume approximately 0.2  oz (6 ml) of oil.
Rell when the oil level drops to 1/4 of a tank.

Fig. 11

2. The tension is correct when the drive links on the chain do

not slip out of the chain guide on the bar when the chain is

pulled up from the middle of the bar (Fig. 10).

Fig. 10

Oil level window

NOTE: Your electric chain saw is equipped with an automatic

oil pump for bar and chain oiling. You must add bar and chain
oil or your chain saw will malfunction.

1. Connect the electric chain saw to a working 120 V outlet
using a heavy-duty outdoor extension power cord.

11

2. Make a loop in the power cord and push it up through the

R

hole in the handle and around the cord restraint hook
(Fig. 12), then connect the extension cord to the appliance
cord.

Operating Tips

2. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for

accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.

3. Always wear suitable clothing when using the machine.

Wear anti-vibration gloves and other personal protective

equipment.

NOTE: All the above-mentioned precautions do not,

however, guarantee the prevention of certain risks – i.e.

Raynaud’s phenomenon or carpal tunnel syndrome. For

operators who use this machine for prolonged periods,
it is therefore recommended to have periodic checkups

on their hands and ngers. If any of the above mentioned

symptoms should appear, please contact a physician
immediately.

4. Work only in daylight or good articial light.

5. Take utmost care when working near metal fences.

6. Take care not to hit the bar hard against foreign objects or

ying debris caused by the movement of the chain.

7. Do not operate the chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, or on a

scaold. This is extremely dangerous.

8. Use extreme caution when cutting small brush, saplings or

limbs under tension, because slender and tense material
may catch the saw and be whipped towards you, pull you

o balance or spring back.

9. Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.

10. Before you start the unit, make sure the chain saw is not

contacting any object.

mCAUTION! The chain coasts after saw is turned o. Do

not use under wet condition.

IMPORTANT! Always remember that an incorrectly used chain
saw may harm or disturb others and have a serious impact on
the environment.

To respect people and the environment:

• Avoid using the machine in environments or at times of the

day when it may disturb others.

• Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions

for the disposal of waste materials after sawing.

• Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions

for the disposal of oils, damaged parts or any elements
which have a strong impact on the environment.

• A certain amount of chain lubricating oil is released into

the environment when the machine is running, so only use

biodegradable oils made specically for this use.

• To avoid the risk of re, do not leave the machine with the

engine hot on leaves or dry grass.

WARNING! For your safety and that of others:

m

1. Do not use the machine without reading the instructions
carefully. Become acquainted with the controls and

the proper use of the machine. Learn how to stop the

machine quickly.

mWARNING! It takes specic training to use the machine

for felling and delimbing.

12

mWARNING! Prolonged exposure to vibrations can

cause injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called
“Raynaud's syndrome” or “white hand”), especially to people
suering from circulation disorders. The symptoms can
eect the hands, wrists and ngers and manifest with loss of

sensitivity, numbness, itching, pain and discoloring of or visible

changes to the skin. These eects can be worsened by low

ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the hand grips too
tightly. If the symptoms occur, the length of time the machine
is used must be reduced and a doctor consulted.

Checks During Work

• Checking the chain tension

The chain tends to stretch gradually as you work, so you need
to check its tension frequently.

IMPORTANT! During the rst period of use (or after replacing
the chain), the chain tension must be checked more frequently

due to settling of the chain.

mWARNING! Never work with the chain loose, as it can

be hazardous if the chain slips out of its guides.

To adjust the chain tension, follow the instructions in
“Adjusting the Chain Tension” on page 11.

• Checking the oil delivery

IMPORTANT! Never use the machine without lubrication! You
can check the oil level in the tank through the transparent

gauge. Make sure you ll up the oil tank every time you use

the machine. For best results, use only a good quality bar and

chain oil designed specically for use with chain saws.

mWARNING! Make sure the bar and the chain are in

place when you check the oil delivery.

Start the motor and check if the chain oil is delivered as shown
below (Fig. 14).

Fig. 14

Proper Cutting Stance

1. Weight should be balanced with both feet on solid

ground.

2. Keep your left arm and elbow locked in a "straight arm"
position to withstand any kickback force (Fig. 15).

Fig. 15

Chain line

3. Your body will always be on the left of the chain line.

Straight arm

Basic Cutting Procedures

1. Small trees up to 6 – 7 inches in diameters are usually

cut in a single cut. Notch cuts determine the direction the
tree will fall.

mWARNING! If the tree starts to fall in a wrong direction,

or if the saw got caught or hung up during the fall, leave the
saw and save yourself.

mWARNING! Periodically glance at the top of the tree

during the back-cut to ensure the tree is going to fall in the

desired direction.

2. Practice cutting a few small logs using the following
techniques to get the feel of using the saw before you

begin a major sawing operation.

3. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw

o.

4. Squeeze the trigger and let the chain accelerate to full

speed before entering the cut.

5. Hold the saw with both hands rmly. Always keep your

left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the
rear handle so that your body is to the left of the chain
line.

6. Keep the unit running the entire time you are cutting,
maintaining a steady speed.

13

7. 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.

8. Do not put the pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.

9. Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being

pulled o balance.

10. Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held higher is

dicult to control against kickback force.

Cutting Techniques

Before felling or delimbing for the rst time, practice sawing

logs on the ground or on trestles, so that you can get familiar
with the machine and the most suitable sawing techniques.

When felling a tree, keep everyone a safe distance from the
cutting area. During felling operation, the safest distance
should be at lease twice the height of the largest trees in the
felling area. If the tree makes any contact with utility line, the

utility company should be notied immediately.

mWARNING! Always hold the machine with both hands

when sawing.

mWARNING! Stop the motor immediately if the chain

stops during sawing. Beware of kickback, which can occur if
the bar contacts an obstacle.

• Felling a tree

i) When bucking and felling are performed by two or more

people at the same time, the felling operation should be
separated from the bucking operation by a distance of at
least twice the height of the tree being felled. Trees should
not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the
tree does make contact with any utility line, the company

should be notied immediately.

mWARNING! Check the tree for damaged or dead

branches that could hit you during the felling.

ii) The chain saw operator should stay on the uphill side of

the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after
it is felled.

iii) An escape path should be planned and cleared as

necessary before cuts are started. The escape path should
extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line

of fall as illustrated (Fig. 16).

Fig. 16

iv) Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the

tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction

to help you judge which way the tree will fall.

mWARNING! Do not fell trees in the period of high wind

or heave precipitation. Wait to do your cutting until the hazard
has ended.

mWARNING! Do not cut down trees that have an extreme

lean or large trees that have rotten limbs, loose bark or hollow

trunks. Have these trees pushed or dragged down with heavy

equipment, and then cut up.

v) Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire

from the tree.

• Notching undercut

Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to

the direction of the fall as illustrated (Fig. 17).

Fig. 17

50 mm (2 po)

50 mm (2 po)

Make the lower horizontal notching cut rst.

This will help to avoid pinching either the saw chain or the
guide bar when the second notch is made.

• Felling back cut

i) Make the felling back cut at least 2 in. (50 mm) higher than

the horizontal notching cut as illustrated (Fig. 16). Keep

the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut.

Strategically position the felling back cut so that enough

wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the
tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not
cut through the hinge.

ii) As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin

to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in
the desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw
chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete
and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the
cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall.

iii) When the tree begins to fall, remove the chain saw from

the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw down, then use
the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling
and watch your footing.

14

• Limbing a tree

Limbing is the process in which branches are removed from a

fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger lower limbs to support

the log o the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut as
illustrated (Fig. 18). Branches under tension should be cut from

the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

Fig. 18

1

ii) When the log is supported on one end (Fig. 19B), cut 1/3

the diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make
the nishing cut by overbucking to meet the rst cut.

Fig. 19B

2

2

mWARNING! Pay special attention to where the branches

are lying on the ground and recognize the following risks: 1)
the branches may be under tension; 2) the direction in which
the branch will fall during cutting may dier from what you had
anticipated; 3) the tree may be unstable after the branch has

been cut.

• Bucking a log

Bucking is the process in which a log is cut into lengths. It is

important to make sure your footing is rm and your weight is

evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should
be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.
Follow these simple directions for easy cutting:

i) When the log is supported along its entire length as

illustrated (Fig. 19A), it is cut from the top (overbuck).

1

iii) When the log is supported on both ends (Fig. 19C), cut

1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck). Then make the
nished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the
rst cut.

Fig. 19C

iv) It is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper

(Fig. 19D).

– Dig the spiked bumper into the log and use it as a

pivot. Cut with an arched motion to make the bar
penetrate the wood.

– Repeat several times if necessary, changing the point

where you plant the spiked bumper.

– When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill
side of the log (Fig. 20). When cutting through the
log, maintain control by releasing the cutting pressure
near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on
the chain saw handles. Do not let the chain contact
the ground.

• If there is excessive dirt or resin build-up, disassemble the

chain and place it in a container with a suitable cleanser.
Then rinse it with clean water and treat it with a suitable
anticorrosive spray before reassembling it on the machine.

• Fit the cutting bar sheath onto the bar before storing.

mWARNING! Let the motor cool completely before

storing the chain saw in any enclosure.

To reduce re hazards, clean the machine thoroughly to

remove sawdust, branches, leaves or excess grease. Never
leave containers with cut debris inside the storage area.

End of Operations

When you have nished your work:

• Switch o the motor and unplug the unit from the power

source.

• Wait for the chain to stop and allow the machine to cool.

• Remove any traces of sawdust or oil deposits from the

chain.

Motor Cooling

To avoid overheating and damage to the motor, always keep
the cooling air vents clean and free of sawdust and debris.

16

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. 21). 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 ats
on the drive links hang out of the bar groove (Fig. 21).

Properly Adjusted Warm Chain

Approximately .050 in. (1.25 mm)

Chain Needs Tensioning

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
les with the right diameter depending on the type of chain
(see “Chain Maintenance Table” pg. 18). You need a certain

amount of skill and experience to avoid damaging the cutting
edges.

Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 22):

• Secure the bar rmly, with the chain mounted, in a

suitable vice.

• Tighten the chain if it is loose.

• Mount the le 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 vice and repeat on all the other

cutting edges.

• Check that the depth limiter tooth does not stick out
farther than the inspection tool and le any projecting

parts with a at le, rounding o the edges (Fig. 22).

• After sharpening, remove all traces of ling 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.

Nuts and Screws

Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are securely
tightened and the hand grips are tightly fastened.

Chain Sharpening

mWARNING! To ensure that the chain saw works safely

and eciently, 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 specic experience and special tools. For

safety purposes, we recommend you contact an authorized

Snow Joe
Sun Joe
(1-866-766-9563).

Sharpening is necessary when:

• The sawdust looks like dust.

• Cutting becomes more dicult.

• The cut is not straight.

• Vibrations increase.

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 le 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.
