Adjusting the Chain Tension

m
WARNING!
Before performing any checks,
adjustments, repairs, or maintenance on the machine, make
sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply.
m
CAUTION!
The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after turning off the tool.
1. Loosen the end cover nut until it is hand-tight. Use the
flat-tip blade screwdriver to turn the chain tensioner
screw clockwise to tension the chain. A cold chain will
be correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the
underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, but it can be
turned by hand without binding (Fig. 9).
Fig. 9
2. The tension is correct when the drive links on the chain do
not slip out of the chain guide on the bar when the chain is
pulled up from the middle of the bar (Fig. 10).

Chain Lubricant

m
CAUTION!
Failure to lubricate the chain will cause
damage to the chain and bar. Use a good quality bar and chain
oil or, if not available, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be
substituted. One minute of use will consume approximately
0.2 fl oz. (6 ml) of oil.
NOTE: It's 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 month or longer),
be sure the chain is lightly lubricated. This will prevent rust on
chain and bar sprocket.
m
WARNING!
Do not use the chain saw with any type of
accessory or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.
Operation

Starting the Machine

Before starting the chain saw, remove the oil tank cap and add
bar & chain oil to the top of the oil level window (Fig. 11). One
minute of use will consume approximately 0.2 fl oz (6 ml) of oil.
Refill when the oil level drops to 1/4 of a tank.
Fig. 11
NOTE: Your electric chain saw is equipped with an automatic
oil pump for bar and chain oiling. You must add bar and chain
oil or your chain saw will malfunction.
1. Connect the electric chain saw to a working 120 V outlet
using a heavy-duty outdoor extension power cord, such
as the Snow Joe + Sun Joe
®
extension cord with lighted end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit
sunjoe.com to order online or call 1-866-SNOWJOE
