• Maintain 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 the wrong, damaged or improperly 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 the
female plug matching the male plug on the charger. Make
sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.
• Charger XZ2600-0450 is rated for 100 – 240 volt 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 battery charger
or battery pack manufacturer may result in risk of fire,
electric shock or personal injury.
• Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to disconnect
battery pack from unplugged charger.
mWARNING! 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 (GFCI) to reduce
shock hazards.
• Do not burn or incinerate the battery pack – The battery
pack may explode, causing personal injury or damage.
Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery pack is
burned.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack – Do not use
the battery pack or charger if they have sustained a sharp
blow, been dropped, run over or have been damaged in any
way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on,
etc.).
• Do not disassemble – Incorrect reassembly may pose
a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic
battery chemicals. If the battery or charger is damaged,
contact an authorized Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
dealer or
call the Snow Joe

customer service center at
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.
• 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 fluids, wash the affected area with soap and
water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery
chemicals, immediately flush 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 fire
and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry place –
Do not store the battery pack 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 battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless pruning
saw is only partially charged. The battery pack has to be
charged completely before you use the tool for the first
time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 77°F
(25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process.
The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when
its 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 pruning saw, and therefore
pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery pack into an open fire as this poses a
risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge the battery. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common
cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use
of partially discharged batteries. Stop working as soon
as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the
electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery
pack in storage only after they have been fully charged.
8. Protect the battery 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.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries
that have been dropped from a height of more than one
meter or those that have 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
suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read
the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the
integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for
safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if
the protective cutoff has been activated. This may damage
the battery packs.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries
poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.
