Battery & Charger
Safety Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be
guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of
the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care
of high-perf
ormance batteries are the main factors responsible
for personal and/or product damage.

Information about Batteries
1. The battery packs have 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 59°F
(15°C) and charged fully.
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 snow blower,
and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs 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 batteries. 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 it has 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 battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the
integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for
safety reasons. If this situation happens, stop the tool and
let the battery cool down for a few minutes before restarting.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF trigger any more if
the protective cut-off has been activated. This may damage
the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries
poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.
Information about 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 different mains voltage.
2. Protect battery charger and its cord from damage. Keep the
charger and its cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep battery charger, battery pack(s) and the cordless tool
out of the reach of children.
5. Do not use battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature
before inserting it into the charger to recharge.
7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum
charging times. These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and
cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days
on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries 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
suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
TOOL ONLY - BATTERY AND CHARGER SOLD SEPARATELY

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will
cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat
during the charging process, as the battery cells may have
suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suffered curvature or
deformation during the charging process or those that
exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,
etc.)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum
recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete
discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging
of the battery cells.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool from
moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool near vapors and flammable
liquids.
4. Use cordless tools only in dry conditions and at an ambient
temperature of 50ºF – 104°F (10°C – 40°C).
5. Do not keep the tool in places where the temperature is
liable to reach over 105°F (40.5°C).
In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that
is parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, overcharging
and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries that have
been overheated – replace them immediately, if possible.
7. Store your cordless tool only in dry locations with an
ambient temperature of 50ºF – 104°F
(10°C – 40°C). Store lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry
place at a temperature of 50 – 68°F (10 – 20°C). Protect
battery pack, charger and cordless tool from humidity and
direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in storage.
8. Prevent lithium-ion battery pack from freezing.
Battery packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more
than 60 minutes must be discarded.
9. When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic
protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic
charging and never touch the battery poles.

and inspect the unit for damage. Repair or replace any
damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.
2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of
operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine
when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear
approaching people.
3. When moving the snow blower, use the wheels on one side
as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow blower on this pivot
point to move it forward or backward.
4. Start your clearing path outward, throwing snow in a back
and forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction,
pivot the snow blower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap
clearing paths.
5. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same
direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown against
the wind (and thus back into your face and on the just
cleared path).
6. Do not push the snow blower with excessive force.
You should push the machine gently and evenly in
accordance with the unit’s throw rate.
7. Do not apply additional man-made load to the motor since
this may cause motor damage.
8. Some parts of the snow blower may freeze under extreme
temperature conditions. Do not attempt to operate the snow

blower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the snow
blower is in use, stop the snow blower, remove the batteries,
and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting
or operating the snow blower.
Never force controls that have frozen.
9. When working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces,
avoid throwing loose surface material along with the snow
by pushing down on the handle to raise the scraper at the
base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
Headlights
The snow blower is equipped with two headlights that can be
used to illuminate the forward path in the dark. The headlights
will be turned on once the machine is started by depressing the
safety switch button and pulling the ON/OFF trigger
(Fig. 21).
NOTE: The lights will only turn ON when the snow blower is
running. The lights will automatically turn off 30 seconds after
the machine powers off.
Changing Throw Direction and
Throw Height
1. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180 degrees by
rotating the chute crank. Rotate the chute control crank
clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left and
counterclockwise to move the chute to the right (Fig. 22).
2. The chute deflector on the top of the discharge chute
controls the height of the snow stream. Loosen the knobs
to raise or lower the deflector to the desired height of snow
you wish to throw. Tighten the knobs to secure the deflector
(Fig. 23).
Maintenance
To order genuine replacement parts or accessories call
Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment (855) 944-3571.
mWARNING! Make sure to turn off the switch and remove
the batteries before performing any maintenance task on your
snow blower.
Lifetime Lubrication (Motor + Auger)
Lubrication is not necessary and may damage the unit.
The snow blower is lubricated for lifetime use at the factory
before shipment.
General Maintenance Tips
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the
proper tools and instructions for disassembly and repair of
the machine.
m WARNING m
Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator,
at bystanders, at vehicles, or at nearby windows. The
discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally
picked up by the snow thrower can cause serious
damage and personal injury.
Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite
direction from where you, bystanders, surrounding
vehicles, or windows are located.

m WARNING m
Make sure that the chute deflector snaps and locks
completely onto the discharge chute. An opening
between the discharge chute and the chute deflector
may allow foreign objects to be picked up by the snow
thrower and thrown in the direction of the operator
causing serious bodily injury.
Do not advance the chute deflector too far forward
causing an opening to appear between the
deflector and discharge chute.
Do not overtighten the knobs on the chute
deflector.

2. Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe working
condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the snow blower
for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from
freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts to
stop completely, and wipe residual ice and snow off the
unit. Rotate the chute deflector by the chute control crank
several times to remove any excess snow.
Proper Care for Batteries + Charger
mWARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the
charg
er and remove the battery packs from the charger before
performing any maintenance task. Never disassemble the battery
packs or charger.
1. To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse
battery packs or charger in liquid or allow any liquid to
flow
inside these components.
2. Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and electrical
contacts by blowing with compressed air.
3. Use only mild soap on a damp cloth to clean the battery
packs and charger, keeping away from all electrical
contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful
to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around battery packs,
battery chargers or tools.
Maintenance + Storage
1. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent the auger from freezing.
2. Examine the cordless snow blower thoroughly for worn,
loose or damaged parts. Should you need to repair or
replace a part, contact Westinghouse Outdoor Power
Equipment (855) 944-3571 for assistance.
3. Clean the snow blower before storing or transporting.
Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.
4
. Remove the batteries from the cordless snow blower before
storing.
5. Store the cordless snow blower indoors in a locked,
dry place out of the reach of children to prevent
unauthorized use or damage.
6. Maintain safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
7. Always refer to the Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
section for important details if the snow blower is to be
stored for an extended period.
Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
1. Do not expose battery packs or charger to water, rain or
allow them to get wet. This could permanently damage the
charger and the battery packs. Do not use oil or solvents to
clean or lubricate your battery packs as the plastic casing
can become brittle and crack, causing a serious risk of
injury.
2. Store the battery packs and charger at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery pack
types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is
stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over
120ºF/49ºC).
3. 24V lithium-ion battery packs maintain their charge during
storage longer than other battery pack types. As a general
practice, it is best to unplug the battery charger and remove
the battery packs when they are not in use. Recharge the
battery packs every 6 months to 50%capacity (2 lights on)
during off-season storage to maintain optimal battery
performance.
Battery Caution +
Disposal Information
Always dispose of battery packs according to federal, state, and
local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for
recycling locations.
mCAUTION! Even discharged battery packs contain
some ener
gy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the
terminals to prevent the battery packs from shorting,
which could cause a fire or explosion.
mWARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or explosion,
never burn or incinerate battery packs even if it is damaged,
dead or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and
materials are emitted into the surrounding atmosphere.
1. Batteries vary according to device. Consult your manual for
specific information.
2. Install only new batteries of the same type in your product
