• Moving parts present risks – Keep your face, hair, clothing, hands and feet away
from moving parts. All guards and safety attachments must be installed properly
before using the unit. Shut off and disconnect the battery before touching any
parts other than the handles and switch.
• Avoid unintentional starting – Make sure the safety switch and the switch lever are
in the off position before inserting the battery in the unit. Do not carry the snow
blower with the safety switch and the switch lever engaged.
• Do not overreach – Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Place heels
firmly on the ground and tightly grasp the handle bar. Watch for uneven surfaces
and do not overreach. In case you fall or collide with the snow blower, inspect the
unit for any damages or cracks. When stepping backwards, be careful to avoid
obstacles beneath your feet or behind you to avoid falling.
WARNING:
If the snow blower strikes any object, follow these steps: i) Stop the
snow blower. Remove the battery. ii) Inspect for damage. iii) Repair any damage
before restarting and operating the snow blower.
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 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-
performance batteries are the main factors responsible for personal and/or
product damage.
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING:
Use only approved replacement batteries; other batteries may
damage the snow blower and cause it to malfunction.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury, charge the 60V lithium-ion battery packs
only in their designated 60V lithium-ion charger. Other types of chargers present
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.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the battery pack in rain, snow or
in damp or wet locations. Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence
of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because
sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the battery pack, which
could lead to a fire.
