4. 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
5. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, use the extension cord
restraint hook and/or make a knot as shown in Table 1.
6. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the chain saw by the
cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means are
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a
double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be performed only by
qualified service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe

dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol
(square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
This electric chain saw is double-insulated, eliminating the
need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions before servicing
double-insulated appliances. Use this chain saw only as
described in this manual.

WARNING
m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric chain saw to
make contact with water while it is in operation. If the
appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry
before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA- or ETL-rated extension cord for
outdoor, all-weather use.
• Do not use an extension cord over
100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
offers some protection.
