6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
overcharging, and exposure to direct sunlight will result
in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work
with batteries that have been overheated – replace them
immediately, if possible.
7. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry
locations with an ambient temperature of 50-104°F
(10-40°C). Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a cool,
dry place at a temperature of 50-68°F (10-20°C). Protect
the battery pack, charger, and cordless tool from humidity
and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in
storage (charged to at least 40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery
packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60
minutes must be discarded.
9. When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic
protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic
charging and never touch the battery poles.
Additional Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions for Walk-Behind
Snow Blowers
• Read the operator’s manual carefully – Learn your snow
blower ’s applications and limitations as well as the specific
potential hazards related to this machine. Do not use this
machine for any purpose other than the one for which it
was designed. Failure to adhere to these precautions may
cause mechanical defaults, serious damage, or personal
injury.
• Preliminary unit inspection – Thoroughly inspect the
unit before use. Make sure all the parts are secure and
installed correctly. If you notice any abnormalities, do not
use the machine until it has been properly repaired. Always
perform a test run the first time you use the snow blower
or after replacing parts to ensure that the unit is functioning
properly.
• Preliminary area inspection – Clear the area to be plowed
before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string, which can be thrown by or
become entangled in the snow blower. Keep the area of
operation clear of all persons, children, and pets.
• Excessive force – The snow blower was designed to
respond at a certain rate for various snow conditions for
optimal safety and performance. Do not force it; keep the
applied pressure constant throughout its operation.
• Malfunctioning switch – Do not use the snow blower if
the switch does not turn it on and off. Any appliance that
cannot be controlled by the switch is not safe to use and
must be repaired.
• Hitting an object – If the snow blower accidentally strikes
an object, first stop the snow blower and remove the
battery; next, inspect for damage; finally, repair or replace
any damaged part before restarting and operating the
snow blower.
• Discharge chute safety – Never direct the snow discharge
chute at the operator, at bystanders, at vehicles, or at
windows. The discharged snow, which may contain foreign
objects accidentally picked up by the snow blower, can
cause serious damage and personal injury. Do not use your
hands to unclog the discharge chute. Stop the motor before
removing debris.
• Hand-held operating position – Operation of the snow
blower in the hand-held position is unsafe.
• Abnormal operation – If you find that the snow blower
is not running properly or hear abnormal sounds from the
engine, immediately stop the machine, remove the battery,
and contact an authorized Snow Joe

• Noise control – When using the snow blower, respect
the local laws and regulations regarding noise control and
environmental protection. To avoid noise disturbance, you
should carefully decide upon an appropriate operation time
and consider the surrounding conditions.
• When work is completed – Disconnect the snow blower
from the power source when not in use, when changing
accessories, and before performing any maintenance task.
• Store safely – Store the snow blower indoors in a dry area
between uses. Keep in a locked area, where children and
unauthorized users cannot gain access. Do not store the
machine while it is still connected to the power source. It
may cause damage and injury.
• Maintain for safety and longevity – Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other conditions that may affect the unit’s
operation. If damaged, repair or replace the damaged part
before use. Use only those replacement parts made for your
model. When replacing any parts, you must strictly observe
the instructions and procedures described in this manual.
Special care should be paid to any rubber parts, since
these parts may increase the engine load and decrease its
mechanical power if damaged.
Electrical Safety
• Electrical plugs must match the outlet – Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid accidental starting – Make sure the safety switch
and the switch bar lever are in the OFF position before
inserting the battery pack into the unit. Do not carry the
snow blower with the safety switch and switch bar lever
engaged.
