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 32°F 

(0°C) to 113°F (45°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

or call the 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.

Information about the battery

1.  The battery pack supplied with your cordless chain 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 chain saw, 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
