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,
contact an authorized Snow Joe

dealer or
call the Snow Joe

customer service center at
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.
•
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 hybrid snow shovel 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 59°F
(15°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 hybrid snow
shovel, 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 batteries 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 the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the
equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT!
Do not press the ON/OFF switch 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.
