Cord Hitch
Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord 
does not catch on branches or logs during cutting. 
Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords.
This chain saw is designed with an extension cord hitch 
that prevents the extension cord from being pulled loose 
during use. To use, form a loop with the end of the 
extension cord, insert loop into slot in rear of handle, 
and place loop over cord hitch (see Figure 11). Gently 
pull loop against cord hitch until slack is removed. 
Plug extension cord into chain saw cord.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords with this saw. Use only 
extension cords marked for outdoor use. The cord must 
be marked with suffix W or W-A following the cord 
type designation. 
Example: SJTW-A or SJTW.
Use proper sized cord with this saw. Cord must be heavy 
enough to carry current needed. An undersized cord will 
cause voltage drop at saw. Saw will lose power and over
-
heat. Follow cord size requirements listed below.

CLEARING SPROCKET COVER OF 
DEBRIS
While operating the chain saw, wood chips, small 
twigs,  and  other  debris can occasionally build up 
inside the sprocket cover. To properly maintain the 
saw  and  keep  it  in  good  working order, periodic 
removal of this debris may be required. To properly 
clear debris from the sprocket cover:
1.  Unplug chain saw.
2.  Loosen and remove guide  bar nut (see Figure 
10).
3.  Turn chain tensioning screw counterclockwise 
to  loosen  chain  until sprocket cover  is easily 
removed.
4.  After sprocket cover is removed, clear all chips, 
twigs, and debris.
 WARNING: Use caution when clear-
ing debris that is around chain. Cutting 
edges on chain are sharp. Use protec-
tive gloves when working  around or 
handling chain.
5.  Once debris has been removed, follow steps 7 
through 11 on  pages 7 and 8 in the 
Assembly 
section to re-assemble the sprocket cover to the 
chain saw.
