Compatibility
Engineered for direct compatibility with Sun Joe SWJ800E SWJ806E SWJ802E. Verify your specific model number and existing chain dimensions before purchasing.
Installation notes
Disconnect the battery or unplug the pole saw before beginning any chain work. Remove the bar cover, take off the spent chain, and lay the new one into the bar groove with teeth oriented in the correct cutting direction. After reattaching the cover, set the chain tension so there is slight play but no sag under the bar. Run the saw briefly and recheck tension after the chain seats itself.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 8 inch polesaw chain fit my Sun Joe SWJ806E, and does it also work on the SWJ800E and SWJ802E?
Yes, this chain is made to fit Sun Joe SWJ800E, SWJ806E, and SWJ802E pole saws that use an 8-inch bar. It uses a 3/8 pitch, so it matches the drive setup those compatible models are designed for.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install this 8 inch chain on my Sun Joe SWJ802E?
You typically only need the basic bar/side cover adjustment hardware already on the saw, plus a screwdriver or wrench depending on your model. Make sure the chain is installed in the correct cutting direction, then adjust the tension so it sits snug on the 8-inch bar but still pulls around by hand.
Q: How often should I sharpen or replace this 3/8 pitch polesaw chain if I use my SWJ800E for trimming small branches?
If the chain starts producing fine sawdust instead of wood chips, pulls to one side, or requires extra pressure to cut, it likely needs sharpening. Keep the chain properly oiled and tensioned, and replace it when the cutters are too worn or the chain no longer holds an edge well.
