Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless power tool is
only partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged
completely before you use the tool for the rst time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at
59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
needed for the proper operation of your multi-tool system,
and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open re as this poses
a risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to re.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most
common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage
or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working
as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably
or the electronic protection system triggers.
Place the battery pack in storage only after it has
been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads
will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside
the battery housing even if this overheating is not
apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries
that have been dropped from a height of more than
3 feet (1 meter) or those that have been exposed to violent
shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears
to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may
have suered serious damage. In such instances,
please read the waste disposal information for proper
battery disposal.
6
10. If the battery pack suers overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cuto will switch o the
equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more
if the protective cut-o has been activated. This may
damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries
poses a re risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.
Information about the charger and the
charging process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the
battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger
to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating
plate. Never connect it to a dierent mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage.
Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay
by a qualied technician at an authorized Snow Joe

4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack(s) and the cordless
tool out of the reach of children.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other
cordless tools.
6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature
before inserting it into the charger to recharge.
7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum
charging times. These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging
and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for
days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has
been more than 12 months since the last time they were
charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 50°F (10°C) will
cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a re.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat
during the charging process, as the battery cells may have
suered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suered curvature or
deformation during the charging process or those that
exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing,
cracking, etc.).
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(maximum recommended depth of discharge is 80%).
A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to
premature aging of the battery cells.
Protection from environmental inuences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from
moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous
cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near
vapors and ammable liquids.

Cutting Tips for Pole Chain Saw
mCAUTION!
• Before starting the saw, remove the oil tank cap and add
bar & chain oil to the top of the oil level window (Fig. 24).
One minute of use will consume approximately 0.15 oz
(4 ml) of oil. Rell when the oil level drops to 1/4 of a tank.
NOTE: Your pole chain saw head is equipped with an
automatic oil pump for bar and chain oiling. You must add
bar and chain oil or your pole chain saw will not function.
mWARNING! Be sure that the chain is not in contact with
any object when you start the motor.
mWARNING! Keep hands away from chain. Keep hands
on handles. Do not overreach.
A good, rm grip on the tool using both hands will help you
maintain control. Place one hand on the soft grip or the
auxiliary handle, and the other hand on the handle with your
thumbs and ngers encircling the pole and handle. A rm grip
combined with proper positioning of the handle against your
body will help you maintain control of the saw. Do not let go of
the saw while it is in operation.
mCAUTION! The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after turning o the tool.
Do not use the pole chain saw under wet conditions.
Use extreme caution when cutting small brush, saplings,
or limbs under tension because slender and tense material
may catch the saw and be whipped toward you, pull you o
balance, or spring back.
Do not use the pole chain saw to cut vines and/or small
underbrush.
Prior to each cutting session, run through the daily checklist
(see pg. 19).
mWARNING! Do not cut trees near electrical wires.
mWARNING! Failure to lubricate the chain will cause
damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar
and chain oil designed specically for use with chain saws.
One minute of use will consume approximately 0.15 oz.
(4 ml) of oil.
NOTE: It is 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 months or
longer), be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent
rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
mWARNING! Kickback may occur when the moving
chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of
the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the
chain saw in the cut (Fig. 25). Contact at the upper portion
of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into
the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightning-fast reverse reaction, which kicks the guide bar up
and back toward the operator. If the chain saw is pinched
along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions
can cause loss of saw control, which can throw the operator
o balance and result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a user, you
should take several precautions to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
Proper Cutting Stance
• Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
• Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.

• The most typical cutting application is to position the
unit at an angle of 60° or less depending on the specic
situation (Fig. 26). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft
to the ground increases, the diculty of making the rst
cut (from the underside of limb) increases.
Basic Cutting Procedure
This unit with the chain saw head is designed for trimming
small branches and limbs up to recommended 6.5 in.
(16.5 cm), not to exceed a Max. cut of 7.5 in. (19 cm) in
diameter depending on type of wood. Practice cutting a few
small limbs using the following technique to get the “feel” of
using the saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
• Take the proper stance in front of the tree with the
saw OFF (Fig. 26).
• Switch on the pole chain saw and let the chain accelerate
to full speed before entering the cut.
• Keep the saw running the entire time you are cutting;
maintain a steady speed.
• 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.
• PUSH and PULL – This reaction force is always opposite
to the direction the chain is moving when it is in contact
with the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to
control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the
bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge.
• Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.
Pruning
Pruning is the process of trimming limbs from a live tree.
• Remove long branches in several stages.
• Cut lower branches rst to allow the top branches more
room to fall.
• When pruning trees, it is important not to make the
nishing cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have
cut o the farthest lying limb. This will reduce the weight
and prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
• Under cut the branch 1/3 through for your rst cut.
Your second cut should over cut to drop the branch o
(Fig. 27). Be prepared to balance the weight of the pole
chain saw when the limb falls.
• Now make your nishing cut from the topside of the
branch smoothly and neatly against the main member so
the bark will grow back to seal the wound.
• Release the On/O switch as soon as the cut is
completed. Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will
result in the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched
or trapped in the limb.
Limbing
Limbing is the process of removing branches from a fallen tree.
• You should cut limbs one at a time. Remove the cut limbs
from the work area often to help keep the work area clean
and safe.
• Cut branches under tension from the bottom up to avoid
binding the bar and chain.
• Keep the tree between you and the pole chain saw while
limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch
you are cutting.
If the Saw Becomes Pinched or Trapped
1. Wait for the blade to stop, wait ve minutes for the saw to
cool, remove the battery, and wear gloves to protect your
hands from the chain teeth.
2. If you can reach the limb from the ground, lift the limb
while holding the saw. This should release the “pinch” and
free the saw.
3. If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance.

Maintenance + Care
m
WARNING! Always remove the battery before
performing any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs to your
cordless pole chain saw.
• Use protective gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• Keep the bar encased in its sheath, except when working
directly on the bar or the chain.
• Never dispose of oils or other polluting materials in
unauthorized places.
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. 28). 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. 28).
NOTE: A new chain tends to stretch. Check the chain tension
frequently and re-tension as needed.
Nuts and Screws
Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are tightened
securely. Check that the telescoping lock and assembly lock
are intact and in proper working order.
Chain Sharpening
To maintain optimal blade sharpness and peak performance,
Sun Joe recommends model 24V-CSSHRP-LTE Cordless
Chain Saw Sharpener, available on sunjoe.com, by phone at
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) (Fig. 29).
mWARNING! To ensure that the saw works safely and
eciently, 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 specic experience and special tools.
For safety purposes, we recommend you contact an
authorized Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
dealer or call the Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).
Sharpening is necessary when:
• The sawdust looks like dust;
• Cutting becomes more dicult;
• The cut is not straight;
• Vibrations increase.
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” on pg. 19). You need a certain
amount of skill and experience to avoid damaging the cutting
edges.
Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 30):
• Secure the bar rmly, with the chain mounted,
in a suitable vise.
• 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 vise 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. 30).
• 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.
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.
Chain Sprocket
Regularly check the condition of the sprocket and replace it
when wear exceeds 0.5 mm (Fig. 31).
Do not mount a new chain with a worn sprocket or vice-versa.

Operation Tips
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• For the best cutting action against walls, fences, and in
high grass, move the grass trimmer slowly so grass is cut
with the tip of the high speed nylon line.
• Avoid dragging the grass trimmer and string spool hub in
contact with the ground.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
NOTE: As the weather becomes cooler, the tendency for the
nylon line to break becomes greater. DO NOT USE WHEN
TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50ºF (10ºC).
• Cut tall grass from top down. This will prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which
may cause damage from overheating.
• If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
– Stop the grass trimmer.
– Remove the battery.
– Remove the grass.
• Hold the grass trimmer with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the auxiliary handle. The grass
trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the
auxiliary handle about hip height.
• To use the edger guide/ower guard, ip it down from its
stored position (Fig. 48).
mWARNING! Always hold the trimmer away from
body. Any contact with the grass trimmer cutting head while
operating can result in serious personal injury.
• The life of your nylon line is dependent upon following
instructions for proper use, as well as what is being cut,
and where the cutting is being done.
mWARNING! Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, and
other objects from the cutting area. The string continues to
rotate for a few seconds after switching o the trimmer. Let the
motor come to a complete stop before resuming operation.
Do not rapidly switch the trimmer o and on.

mCAUTION! Always wear eye protection.
1. Hold the trimmer at an angle of approximately
10 – 30 degrees to the work area (Fig. 49).
2. Slowly swing the trimmer from side to side (Fig. 50).
3. Do not overload your trimmer; instead, take small “bites”
of grass, working from the top to the bottom. This will
keep the machine operating at high speed and will greatly
improve its cutting eciency (Fig. 51).
4. When using as a edger, using the edging wheel for
supporting and guidance (Fig. 52).
Advancing Lines
NOTE: Your trimmer uses 0.055 in. (1.4 mm) diameter nylon
line to cut grass and weed quickly and easily. In time, the
tip of the nylon line will become worn and the auto-feed
mechanism will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of
line. The cutting line will wear faster if the cutting is done along
sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces, or heavier weeds are
being cut.
The grass trimmer + edger is equipped with an auto-feed
head. Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage
trimmer.
1. With the unit running, release the ON/OFF switch trigger.
2. Wait two seconds, and press the ON/OFF switch trigger.
NOTE: The lines will extend approximately 1/4 in. with each
stop and start of the switch trigger until the lines reach the
length of the safety guard.
3. Resume the trimming + edging.
mWARNING! Do not operate the grass trimmer + edger
in a tree, on a ladder, or on a scaold; this is extremely
dangerous.
mWARNING! Do not bump the unit on ground in attempt
to feed line or for any other purpose.
Maintenance + Care
m
WARNING! Make sure to remove the battery before

Trimming Times
Cutting Tips
mWARNING! Always hold the pole hedge trimmer with
both hands. Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate the
pole hedge trimmer with the other. Failure to heed this warning
can result in serious injury.
mWARNING! Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string
which can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a
risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not force the pole hedge trimmer through heavy
shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow
down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.
• Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
0.6 in. (1.5 cm) thick, or those obviously too large to feed
into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.
• If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the
blades to stop, and remove the battery from the power tool
before attempting to remove the obstruction.
• If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level.
Decide how high you want the hedge. Stretch a piece of
string along the hedge at the desired height. Trim the hedge
just above the guide line of string. Trim the side of a hedge
so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the
hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will be
more uniform.
• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action,
so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade.
Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed
easiest by using a sawing movement.
• Hold unit rmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand
on the telescoping pole and your right hand on the rear
handle. The unit is used for cutting in either direction in a
slow, sweeping action from side to side.
• Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet.
• Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
• To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate within
33 feet (10 m) of overhead electrical lines.
• Never use the pole hedge trimmer near power lines,
fencing, posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.
• Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without rst
inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is
detected.
1. To use the pole hedge trimmer for trimming tall, hard-to-
read hedges or shrubs, hold the trimmer at the position
shown below (Fig. 71). Pivot the power head to several
dierent positions to shape or sculpt shrubs or hedges.

2. To use pole hedge trimmer for trimming the bottoms and
sides of hedges and shrubs, hold the pole trimmer at the
position shown below (Fig. 72).
3. To use pole hedge trimmer for trimming low-lying foliage
or ground cover, hold the pole hedge trimmer at the
position as shown below (Fig. 73).
mCAUTION! Do not use the pole hedge trimmer for
cutting stems greater than 0.6 inch (1.5 cm) thick.
Use the pole hedge trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery
found around houses and buildings.
Do not force the pole hedge trimmer through dense growth.
A slight back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting of
larger, more dense growth. If the pole hedge trimmer begins to
slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you are trying to
cut. If the pole hedge trimmer becomes jammed, immediately
turn the trimmer o. Remove the battery and clear the jammed
debris from the cutter blades.
Care + Maintenance
m
WARNING! Blades are sharp. When handling the blade
assembly, wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves. Do not
place your hand or ngers between blades or in any position
where they could get pinched or cut. NEVER touch the blades
or service the unit with the battery inserted.
Lubricate the Blades
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the pole
hedge trimmer blade before and after each use.
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery.
2. Lay the pole hedge trimmer on a at surface.
Apply lightweight machine oil along the edge of the
top blade (Fig. 74).
If you will be using the pole hedge trimmer for an extended
period, it is advisable to stop work intermittently in order to
re-oil the blade.
