  • Remove battery – Remove the battery pack from the tool when not in use, before servicing, or before performing any other maintenance task. Never leave the tool unattended while switched on. In the event of an accident or breakdown, switch off the tool immediately.

  • Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the battery packs in rain, snow or in damp 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 packs, which could lead to a fire.

  • NOTE: The safe temperature range for the batteries are 41°F (5°C) to 105°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the batteries outside in freezing weather; charge them at room temperature.

  • 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.

  • Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger, pull the plug, not the cord from the receptacle to reduce the risk of damage to the power cord. Never carry the charger by its cord. 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 a charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a damaged charger immediately.

  • Do not use an extension cord unless it is 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.

  • Do not expose the machine or battery packs to fire –Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F (130°C) may cause the battery packs to explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are ignited.

  • Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs –
    Do not use the battery packs or charger if they have sustained a sharp blow, been dropped from a height
    of more than 3 feet (1 meter), run over or have been damaged in any way. Even if the housing of a 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.

  • 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 is damaged, contact an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service centre 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 damaged, battery chemicals will react violently with air. Use rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of the battery. If skin is exposed to battery chemicals, wash the affected area with soap and water. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.

  • Risk of 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 paperclips, 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 packs and charger in a cool, dry place – Ideally, store the battery packs at 59°F (15°C) and charge to at least 40%. Do not store the battery packs or charger where temperatures may exceed 105ºF (40.5ºC), such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle, or where temperatures may drop below 41°F (5°C).

  • NOTE: Prevent the battery packs from freezing. Battery packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be discarded.

  • Charge before use – The battery pack supplied with your machine is only partially charged. The battery pack must be fully charged before using the shovel for the first time.

  • Battery Aging – Lithium‑ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. A 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 machine and therefore pose a safety risk.

  • Do not exhaustively discharge battery packs – A complete discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage. Stop working as soon as the performance of a battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. For optimum battery performance, charge the battery packs frequently. Place the battery packs in storage only after they have been fully charged.

  • Do not overload battery packs – Protect the shovel and battery from overloading. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if it is not apparent externally. For safety reasons, the integrated protective cutoff

  • will activate to switch off the equipment. After regular use, allow the battery packs to cool to room temperature before recharging them. IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to turn on the machine if the protective cutoff has been activated. This may damage the battery packs.

  • Outlet voltage – Please check the data marked on the rating label of the battery charger. Be sure that the voltage of the power supply matches that marked on the rating label. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.

  • Charger use – Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other types of battery packs or tools.

  • Do not overcharge battery packs – Do not exceed the maximum charging times. Frequently overcharging the battery packs will result in cell damage. Do not leave the battery connected to the charger for days on end.

  • Battery pack abnormalities – Do not use batteries that have suffered swelling or deformation or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).

  • Electrostatic discharge – When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge. Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic protection system and the battery cells. To avoid electrostatic discharges, never touch the battery terminals.
