Daily Checklist

To help maintain your electric pole chain saw for optimum

performance, we recommend you complete this checklist prior

to each work session.

WARNING!

Do not plug in the power cord until you

have completed all of the daily checks.

• Inspect for any visible damage to the chain, guide bar, or

motor housing.

• Inspect the oil port and guide bar rails and clean them to

remove any debris.

•

Check the chain tension.

•

Check the chain teeth for sharpness.

• Check the bar and chain oil level; fill with only new chain

oil specifically formulated for chain saws.

NOISES: If you notice anything unusual, such as a vibration or

odd sound, shut the saw OFF immediately. Remove the power

cord and check the saw for any damage.

If you cannot find the cause of the problem or are uncertain

what to do, then have the saw inspected by an authorized

Snow Joe

+ Sun Joe

dealer

CAUTION!

• Remove the power cord 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 condition that may affect

the saw’s operation, DO NOT USE the tool. Instead, have

it serviced at an authorized Snow Joe

dealer
