Battery and Charger Safety Instructions

Avoid dangerous environments. Do not charge the battery pack in rain or snow, or in otherwise damp or
wet locations. Do not use the battery pack or charger in explosive atmospheres (those containing gaseous
fumes, dust, or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the
battery pack, which could lead to a fire.
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block the charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.

Take care of the charger cord. When unplugging the charger, pull the plug (not the cord) from the
receptacle to reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry the charger by its cord
or yank it by the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges. Make sure the cord will not be stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress when the
charger is in use.
Do not use the charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a damaged charger immediately.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Using a wrong, damaged, or improper-
ly wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the
charger into a properly wired 16-gauge or larger extension cord with a socket that matches the plug on the
charger. Make sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.
Charger is rated for 120V AC only. The charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufac-
turer of the battery charger or battery pack may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
Unplug charger when not in use. Make sure to remove battery packs from unplugged chargers.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care of high-performance batteries are
the main factors responsible for personal and/or product damage.
WARNING! Use only approved replacement batteries; other batteries may damage the cordless
snow shovel and cause it to malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.
NOTE! The safe temperature range for the battery is 41°F-105°F/5°C-40.5°C. Do not charge the
battery outside in freezing weather; always charge it at room temperature.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger before performing any
cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. Use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCl) to reduce shock hazards.
WARNING! Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may behave unpredictably, resulting in fire, explosion, or injury.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
Have your battery pack serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the battery pack is maintained.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, charge the Voltask 20V lithium-ion battery pack only
in its designated Voltask lithium-ion charger. Other types of chargers present a risk of fire,
personal injury, and damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette
lighter. Such misuse will permanently disable or damage the battery pack.
