IMPORTANT!
Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor
care of high-performance batteries are the main factors
responsible for personal and/or product damage.
m
WARNING!
Use only approved replacement batteries;
other batteries may damage the chain saw and cause it to
malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.
m
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of injury, charge the
EcoSharp
®
LITE iBAT20-LTE lithium-ion battery pack only in its
designated lithium-ion charger, the iCHRG20. 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.
•
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.
NOTE:
The safe temperature range for the battery is -4°F
(-20°C) to 167°F (75°C). Do not charge the battery outside
in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
•
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 iCHRG20 is rated for 120 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 remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
m
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 (GFCI) to reduce shock
hazards.
•
Do not burn or incinerate battery packs – Battery packs
may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic
fumes and materials are created when battery packs are
burned.
•
Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – 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 are damaged,
please contact
an authorized Snow Joe

•
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 104ºF (40ºC), such as in direct
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
