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
o
F (15
o
C) and charged fully.
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 snow blower, and therefore pose a
safety risk.
5.
as this poses a risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
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 the battery 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. If this situation happens,
stop the tool and let the battery cool
down for a few minutes before restarting.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF
trigger 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
result in injuries or an explosion.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARGER AND
THE CHARGING PROCESS
1. Please check the data marked on the
rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure
to connect the battery charger to a power
supply with the voltage marked on the rating
plate. Never connect it to a different mains
voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from
damage. Keep the charger and its cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Have
damaged cords repaired without delay by
service center at 866-902-9690.
3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with grounded tools.
reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack(s) and
the cordless tool out of the reach of children.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.
6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack
will become warm. Allow the battery pack to
cool to room temperature before inserting it
into the charger to recharge.
7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed
the maximum charging times. These
charging times only apply to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in
overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect
that it has been more than 12 months since
the last time they were charged. There
is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suffered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
41
o
F (5
o
C) will cause chemical damage to the
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed
to heat during the charging process, as the
battery cells may have suffered dangerous
damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suffered
curvature or deformation during the charging
