WARNING!
This battery-operated power tool must be
recharged only with the specific charging unit for the battery. A
charging unit that may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery type.
• Avoid accidental starting.

objects.
•
Before operating the tool, read the entire manual carefully
and make sure you know how to switch the tool OFF in an
emergency.
m
WARNING!
Some dust and debris created by the
use of the tool could contain chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Chemicals in fertilizers
• Compounds in insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, and
depends on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Work Area Safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders and children away.
All bystanders,
including children and pets, should be kept a safe
distance away from the work area.
Electrical Safety
1. If the battery charger cable is damaged, please call the
Snow Joe

+ Sun Joe

customer service center at
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
2. If charging the power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected power supply. The using of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way.
Do not use any earthed (grounded)
power tools or battery chargers. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
4. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
6. Do not abuse the charging cord.
Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
7. Battery charger is for indoor use only. Only charge this
battery-powered tool indoors.
