WARNING!
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when
handling the bar and chain. Mount the bar and chain very
carefully so as not to impair the safety and efficiency of the
machine. If in doubt, contact an authorized Snow Joe

The operation should be completed on a
flat and stable surface, with adequate space for moving the
machine and its components.

DANGER!
Never start the motor before installing the
guide bar, chain, and sprocket cover. Without all these parts in
place, the clutch can fly off or explode, exposing the user to
potentially serious injuries.

come pre-assembled on the saw. Should you need to replace
the chain in the future, follow the steps below.
1. Unscrew the end cover + chain tensioning knob
counterclockwise to unlock to the end and remove the
chain/sprocket end cover (Fig. 19).

5. Starting at the tip, mount the chain drive links into the
bar groove, leaving a loop at the back of the bar. The
chain will loosely fit until it is placed on the sprocket
(Figs. 22 & 23).
NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain
backwards, the saw will vibrate abnormally and will
not cut.
