WARNING!

 Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, 

petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in 

contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or 

destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

1.  Stop the motor and remove the battery.
2.  Clean the pole chain saw thoroughly before storing. 
3.  Always place the bar sheath on the chain bar before 

storing or transporting the pole chain saw. Use caution to 

avoid the sharp teeth of the blade and the chain.

4.  Store the pole chain saw indoors, in a dry place that is 

inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents 

such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.

5.  We recommend using the original package for storage or 

covering the product with a suitable cloth or enclosure to 

protect it against dust.

Specific Safety Warnings 

 

for Pole Chain Saw

1.  Only the pole chain saw operator should be in the  

work area.

2.  Do not use the pole chain saw to cut down trees.
3.  Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw. 

Grip the pole chain saw securely with one hand on the 

trigger and the other hand on the pole.

4.  Before starting the pole chain saw, make sure that the 

saw chain is not in contact with any object.

5.  Do not allow the pole chain saw to make contact with 

grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.

6.  Do not force the pole chain 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 chain 

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 chain 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 chain 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, it may cause a fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide 

bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain 

along the top of the guide bar may also push the guide bar 

rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions 

may cause you to lose control of the pole chain saw, which 

could result in serious personal injury.

•  Kickback safety devices on this pole chain saw include 

a skip chain and a low kickback guide bar. These will 

reduce, but not entirely prevent, kickbacks. Follow the 

necessary precautions indicated in this operator's manual 

to avoid kickbacks.

•  Always use two hands when operating the pole chain 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 chain 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 low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with 

this pole chain saw. Only use genuine Snow Joe

®

 replacement parts designed specifically for use 

with this pole chain saw.

•  Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep the chain sharp and 

properly tensioned.
