• Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a
damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth. If a
damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber
or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin is exposed
to battery uids, wash the aected area with soap and
water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery
chemicals, immediately ush with water for
20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and
dispose of contaminated clothing.
• Do not short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if
a metal object makes a connection between the positive
and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a
battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit,
such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other
metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk
of re and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery packs and charger in a cool, dry
place – Do not store the battery packs or charger where
temperatures may exceed 105ºF (40.5ºC), such as in direct
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
Information about the batteries
1. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery packs frequently.
2. Store the battery packs in a cool place, ideally at 77°F
(25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
3. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process. The battery packs must be replaced at the latest
when their capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
needed for the proper operation of your cordless scarier
+ dethatcher, and therefore pose a safety risk.
4. Do not throw the battery packs into an open re as this
poses a risk of explosion.
5. Do not ignite the battery packs or expose them to re.
6. Do not exhaustively discharge the batteries. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most
common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage
or non-use of partially discharged battery. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery fall noticeably or
the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery
packs in storage only after they have been fully charged.
7. Protect the batteries and the tool from overloads.
Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell
damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating
is not apparent externally.
8. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace the
batteries that has been dropped from a height of more
than one meter or has been exposed to violent shocks,
even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be
undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have
suered serious damage. In such instances, please read
the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
9. If the battery packs suer overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cuto will switch o the
equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the switch lever bar any more
if the protective cut-o has been activated. This may
damage the battery packs.
10. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries
poses a re risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.
Information about the charger and the
charging process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the
battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger
to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating
plate. Never connect it to a dierent mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage.
Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay
by a qualied technician at an authorized Snow Joe

3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
grounded appliances. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep the battery charger, battery packs and the cordless
tool out of the reach of children.
5. During periods of heavy use, the battery packs will
become warm. Allow the battery packs to cool to room
temperature before recharging.
6. Do not overcharge the batteries. Do not exceed the
maximum charging times. These charging times only apply
to discharged batteries. Frequent connection of a charged
or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging
and cell damage. Do not leave the batteries connected
with the charger for days on end.
7. Never use or charge battery if you suspect that it has
been more than 12 months since the last time they were
charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
8. Charging the batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C)
will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a
re.
9. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat
during the charging process, as the battery cells may have
suered dangerous damage.
10. Do not use the battery if it suered curvature or
deformation during the charging process or exhibit other
atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
11. Never fully discharge the battery packs (maximum
recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete
discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging
of the battery cells.
