wood chipper + shredder should start making any unusual
noise or vibration, turn it o and allow it to come to a
complete stop. Disconnect from power supply and take
the following steps:
– Inspect for damage;
– Check for and tighten any loose parts.
mWARNING! Never reach into the hopper until the
wood chipper + shredder has come to a complete stop and
is unplugged. The blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the unit is turned o.
9. Do not allow processed material to build up in the
discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge and
can result in kickback of material through the hopper.
mWARNING! Never put your hands near the
discharge chute. Failure to heed the warning could result in
serious injury.
10. If the wood chipper + shredder becomes clogged, turn it
OFF and disconnect from power supply before clearing
debris. Keep the power source clear of debris and other
accumulations to prevent damage to the power source.
Remember that the starting mechanism on engine
powered tools will cause the cutting mechanism to move.

Electric Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric wood chipper + shredder. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used
for this measure of safety.
2. 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 to the product.
For lengths up to 50 ft (15 m), a No. 14 AWG (or greater)
extension cord must be used. For lengths more than
50 ft (15 m) and up to 100 ft (30 m), a No. 12 AWG
(or greater) extension cord must be used. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or
ETL-listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,
all-weather use, such as the Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®
Power Joe SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-foot extension cord
with lighted end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit snowjoe.com
to purchase this extension cord online or, to order by
phone, call 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
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.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
5. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
6. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
7. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
electrician or a power tool repairer.
8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
10. Have your tool repaired by an electrician or a qualied
service center. This power tool complies with relevant
safety requirements. To avoid danger, electrical appliances
must only be repaired by qualied personnel using original
spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable
damage to the user.
mWARNING! m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the wood chipper + shredder
to make contact with water while it is in operation. If
the appliance becomes wet while turned o, 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
oers some protection.

Safety Instructions
All Operators Must Read These
Instructions Before Use
Always follow these safety guidelines. Failure to do so may
result in serious bodily injury or death.
mDANGER! This indicates a hazardous situation, which,
if not followed, will result in serious injury or death.
mWARNING! This indicates a hazardous situation, which,
if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
mCAUTION! This indicates a hazardous situation, which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
General Safety
mWARNING! 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. Do not use in dangerous environments – Do not use the
pole chain saw in damp or wet locations.
5. Do not use the pole 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 best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
15. Disconnect tool – Disconnect the pole chain saw from
the power supply when not in use, before servicing,
when transporting, or when changing the chain or other
accessories.
16. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting – Make sure
the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool
into a power source.
17. Use recommended accessories – Consult the owner’s
manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
18. Check for damaged parts – Before each use, repair or
replace any guard or part that is damaged. In addition,
check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that
may aect the tool's operation.
19. Never leave tool unattended while it is running – Turn
the power OFF by removing the power cord directly from
its socket. Do not leave the saw until the cutting chain
comes to a complete stop.
20. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry the pole
chain saw with your nger on the switch.
21. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blade or cutting
edges when picking up or holding the saw – Be sure to
encase the cutting bar in its protective sheath when not
in use.
22. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the pole chain saw when you are
tired.
23. Store idle tool indoors – When not in use, appliances
should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up
place out of the reach of children.

mWARNING! Some dust and debris created by the
use of the tool could contain chemicals known to the State
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.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the pole chain saw. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. 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.16 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.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or
ETL-rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use.
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.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from
the extension cord during operation, use the cord restraint
hook and/or make a knot with the two cords as shown in
Table 1.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the pole 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.
mWARNING! m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the pole chain saw to make
contact with water while it is in operation. If the
appliance becomes wet while turned o, 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
oers some protection.

Specic Safety Rules For
Pole Chain Saws
mWARNING! SHOCK HAZARD! – To protect yourself
from electrocution, do not operate the pole chain saw within
50 ft (15 m) of overhead wires. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in severe personal injury.
Operating Tips For Pole Chain Saws
• Stay alert. Use common sense while operating the unit.
• Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered areas invite
accidents.
• Note the extension cord's location relative to the tool.
While operating the pole chain saw, be careful not to trip
over the cord.
• Keep the cord away from the chain and the operator at
all times.
• Keep children, animals, and bystanders a safe distance
away from the pole chain saw and extension cord.
• Only the pole chain saw operator should be in the
work area.
• Do not use the pole chain saw to cut down trees.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw.
Grip the pole chain saw securely with one hand on the
trigger, the other hand on the pole.
• Before starting the pole chain saw, make sure that the saw
chain is not in contact with any object.
• Do not allow the pole chain saw to make contact with
grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain while
operating the pole chain saw.
• Do not force the pole chain saw while cutting. Apply light
pressure. It will perform more eectively and safely if it is
used at the rate for which it was designed.
• 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.
• Do not carry a plugged-in unit. Carry the pole chain saw
from one place to another with the unit unplugged. During
transport, hold the pole at its balance point (close to the
saw end), with the guide bar and chain facing to the rear.
• 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 o balance.
Kickback
mWARNING! 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 rm grip. Thumbs and ngers 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®+
Sun Joe® replacement parts designed specically for use
with this pole chain saw.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep the chain sharp with
proper tension.
Pole Chain Saw Trimming Precautions
• Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming.
Always position yourself outside the path of falling debris.
• Never stand on a ladder or other type of unstable support
while using the pole chain saw.
• Keep all handles and grip surfaces clean, dry, and free
from oil and grease.
• Always use both hands to operate the pole chain saw.
Keep a rm, steady pressure on the pole chain saw while
cutting, but do not try to cut limbs larger in diameter than
the length of the guide bar.
• 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.
• Do not use the pole chain saw near cable, electric power,
or telephone lines. Maintain a minimum clearance of
50 ft (15 m) from all power lines.
