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 cordless pole chain saw,
which could result in serious personal injury.
• Kickback safety devices on this cordless 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
Sun Joe replacement parts designed specifically for use
®
with this pole chain saw.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep the chain sharp with
proper tension.

the length of the guide bar.

the pole chain saw and at a safe distance away from the
work area.
