Product Description

LET GRAVITY DO THE WORK®! The Sun Joe® SWJ800E pole chain saw takes the danger and difficulty out of trimming your overgrown trees. Stand safely on solid ground while adjusting Sun Joe's telescoping pole. The pole extends to 8.7 feet to gain up to 15 feet of overhead reach! Powered by a robust 6.5-amp motor, the SWJ800E can handle the most stubborn tree limbs up to 7.5-inches thick. This pole chain saw features an 8-inch Sun Joe bar and chain with an auto-oiler to keep the bar and chain fully lubricated during use. Chain tensioning is equally effortless, requiring just a turn of a screw. Unlike gas-powered tools, the Sun Joe is powered electrically, so you’ll reliably power up with the push of a button without having to deal with smoke, fumes, unpredictable starters, or costly tune-ups. Plus, the SWJ800E comes equipped with a built-in safety switch to prevent accidental starting. Sun Joe is CSA-approved and carries a full two-year warranty.

Great tool, Just add some chain oil and off you go... Great for trimming branches without needing a ladder in most cases. If this doesn't reach what your trying to cut then you probably should be hiring a tree trimer anyway. Good price and arrived quickly. One more thing, it's not too heavy which saves your shoulders, arms back and neck. It does however exercise your facial muscles, making you smile and grin when you see those stupid branches come down...

Great tool

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2013

Style: Pole SawSize: 8-Inch Bar/ChainConfiguration: 8.7' Max. ExtensionVerified Purchase

I replaced my other pole saw with this one. The other one was a little cheaper (at Home Depot) but the price difference wasn't so great as to make it a much better deal. I wish I'd bought this one originally but I'm glad I have it now. Why? Some things I particularly like about it compared to the other one.

1. The adjustable length of the pole. The other one is fixed at 9 feet. There are a couple of reasons adjustability is a very nice feature. First, what others have pointed out - use the shorter length to cut up the limbs you've cut down. It's much easier than standing back nine feet to do it. But, an equally important reason is that it can be adjusted easily while using the saw. I use it mainly for palm trees and oaks. When I'm on the ladder, I don't always need or want the saw at its full length. There's about ten pounds hanging on a 9 foot pole and it gets heavy quickly. And, sometimes I'm closer to what I want to cut. Twist the lock on the pole, collapse it a little, tighten the lock and start cutting again. It's very nice.

2. A major reason I decided to change saws was that the one I have infuriated me with the chain constantly jumping the track. I tightened it and loosened it and tried everything I could to get the tension right. It didn't matter - if the saw twisted a little while cutting the chain popped off. That meant removing the cover, adjusting the chain, replacing the cover and going back to work - five to ten minutes of cursing the whole time. I just finished trimmng several palm trees and an oak with this one and it did not jump once. Tensioning the chain is very simple and done with the cover on - just turn a screw.

3. The oiler on the other one seems to feed oil too fast - the motor always is oily and it runs down the pole. This one doesn't and keeps a light coat of oil on the chain. The other one put too much oil on the chain with the result it jams because the saw dust gets oily and clogs the sprocket - that may be why it jumped the track.

4. It cuts faster - that may be simply because it's a new chain so I can't say it's different in that respect from the other.

5. It feels sturdier. The pole definitely is stronger. There is absolutely no twisting or bending. The other one doesn't really "bend" but it does flex. This one is very stiff.

So - I'm glad I have it and recommend it hightly.

Great buy, great saw

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2015

Style: Pole SawSize: 8-Inch Bar/ChainConfiguration: 8.7' Max. ExtensionVerified Purchase

The quality of this saw is comparable to any other electric pole saw in it's price range and higher. The reviews that talk about oil leaks, too small of an oil fill hole, and the chain always falling off obviously havnt owned a chain saw before. The oil has to come out somewhere, if it's not leaking oil then the bar isn't getting lubed and will cause the chain to seize and smoke then fail when the bar gets too hot and warps eventually shredding the chain guides. The oil fill hole is normal size for a pole saw, just pour in slow and when it get to the top wait for the bubbles to come up and continue to fill. If the chain keeps running off the bar than it's too loose, it should be pretty tight at first then tightened after the first 5 minutes of use when it gets warm and stretches if it's a new chain.
I recently owned and broke a ryobi pole saw about the size of this one. It lasted 3 seasons and it was heavily used by myself and 4 neighbors with many limbs cut down.
I was pleased with the instructional video on the site which helped in my initial assembly of this saw, it took about 5 mins to assemble after watching the video. The hex head bar bolt is very nice because it's an internal wrenching bolt and less prone to stripping out like a 6 point bolt in most other saws.
From end to end it's soundly and ergonomicly built. The motor housing is sturdy and the bar cover has a detent that locks it into place which will come in handy when it gets covered in bar oil. I've used it to trim apporimatly 30 limbs that range in size from 1/2" up to 3" and I have many more up to 6" in diameter which I'm certain this saw can handle given performance thus far. The shaft has pretty decent securing tension rings, but being plastic if you go German "goodantight" torque on them you can easily strip them out, especially if you use a strap wrench or pipe wrench.

Pros: affordable, ergonomic, sturdy, good consumer reviews.

Cons: generic model not proprietary to sun joe

I found this exact model saw in the same color scheme and design at harbor freight for roughly the same price, and $69 on sale with a Memorial Day coupon. It had the Chicago electric stickers on it instead of the sun joe stickers. However, the only Negative aspect I can find in this saw may be a positive one; the fact that it's sold to other vendors and re-labeled leads me to believe that replacement parts would be easy to find. The ryobi I replaced with this unit has a solid motor shaft and worm gear assembly which cannot be replaced without replacing the entire motor for $50. That same exact saw sells for $99 refurbished which also leads me to believe that the weak link in that saw is the motor assembly. With this saw I can buy brand new and if it ever breaks I'm only out the $80. If you take into consideration the cost of a new bar and chain (consumable parts) over the life of the saw it breaks down to nearly even assuming I get 3 seasons out of the sun joe.

Overall I am very pleased with this saw. If I had to do it all over I would consider purchasing the same saw from harbor freight (branded Chicago electric) and buy the 5 year warrenty for $19, IF I had the time to do so.

The free (2day) shipping and tax savings from amazon were the major factor in buying because I needed it quickly and didn't have time to make the 2 hour round trip drive to harbor freight not to mention waiting around for Memorial Day weekend when I already had plans to be out of town.

I hope others find this review helpful.

Worth The Money

Reviewed in Canada on June 25, 2014

Style: Pole SawSize: 8-Inch Bar/ChainConfiguration: 8.7' Max. ExtensionVerified Purchase

Was disappointed when the package arrived as the item was badly damaged. Kudos to Amazon for a fast replacement....packaging needs to be improved for that type of shipping.
Used the replacement unit for the first time last weekend and it made short work of the pruning job. Easy to assemble, add oil and away you go.
I cut through a variety of branch sizes, from 1/2" to 4" and it worked great every time. Can be a bit "bouncy" on thinner branches until the cut starts. Used it for over an hour and did not have to add any more oil despite what other reviews said.
Did find it a bit hard to control at times when fully extended and the branch was cut through, the saw has a tendency to drop so you have to have a good grip.
Only real problem is that you want to keep cutting more branches...it's so easy to use!!

Would recommend to home gardeners wanting to prune back their own trees.

Great for trimming high branches

Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2023

Style: Pole SawSize: 8-Inch Bar/ChainConfiguration: 8.7' Max. ExtensionVerified Purchase

I got this as I was tired of trying to balance on top of a ladder to trim the tops off a hedge made of firs and spruce. Was always in danger of the ladder sliding off as I stretched to reach tops with a pruning lopper. This worked great as I could position myself and cut the tops of the hedge 10ft in either direction. Has enough power to cut through thick tops and branches with ease. Can tire the arms after a while but that is to be expected when you put a weight on the end of a 10ft pole. Very happy I bought this.

Super fácil de armar, de usar y corta muy bien! La compre para cortar las hojas de las palmeras del jardín, lo hace muy rápido! Lo recomiendo, excelente compra! (no olvidar de comprar el aceite, es muy espeso, cuidado al vaciar ya que se puede derramar, se llena el tanque con muy poco.

Preparation for use:
- Came almost completely pre-assembled except for attaching the chain head. Some reviewers commented that the instructions were unclear and could lead to a person attaching the chain "backwards." The instructions, which may have been revised given that feedback, is very informative and I found I could easily install the chain correctly.
- I recommend lightly filling the oil as the tank holds only 60 mL. Beware of overflowing it.

During use:
- The largest branch I cut was 9 cm in diameter; the saw is rated for almost double that, but I think that's stretch advertising. You'd have to be quite skilled to use the saw comfortably for large-diameter branches or trunks. That's beyond my beginner ability.
- Kick back is low. Be careful of the saw getting stuck halfway if you're cutting 7 cm diameter or greater. Keep the trigger switch pressed until you're in the clear.

After use/storage:
- Empty the oil tank if you're planning to store it for greater than a couple of weeks. The oil leaks even if you leave it upright (oil tank opening facing upwards).

The main pro is that the weight is manageable even at full extension. A con is that the saw teeth catches very easily to small branches, leaves, etc, so I found that I had to trim my hedge with a hedge trimmer a good deal in order to reveal the actual branches I wanted to saw off. Also, I kept peeling off the bark in a bad way during my cuts though I'm not sure if that's the saw or my poor skill.

El único detalle es que llega maltratado el paquete; y si le resta confianza al producto por lo demas es una buena opción.
