objects.
• Before operating the tool, read the entire manual carefully

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 ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust, liquid 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. Unmodied 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.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce the possibility
of personal injuries.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure all switches are in
the OFF position before connecting to the power source,
battery charger, or before picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or
charging power tools with the switch ON can lead to
accidents.
