Informationaboutthebattery
1. The battery pack supplied with your generator is only
partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged
completelybeforeyouusethetoolfortherst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77°F
(25°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 generator, and
therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Donotthrowthebatterypackintoanopenreasthis
poses a risk of explosion.
6. Donotignitethebatterypackorexposeittore.
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
3 feet (1 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sueredseriousdamage.Insuchinstances,please
read the waste disposal information for proper battery
disposal.
10. Ifthebatterypacksuersoverloadingandoverheating,
theintegratedprotectivecutowillswitchothe
equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the power supply button any
moreiftheprotectivecut-ohasbeenactivated.Thismay
damage the battery pack.
11. Rechargeonlywiththechargerspeciedbythe
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
batterypackmaycreateariskofrewhenusedwith
another battery pack.
12. Useappliancesonlywithspecicallydesignatedbattery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injuryandre.
13. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
ushwithwater.Ifliquidcontactseyes,additionallyseek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
14. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
ormodied.Damagedormodiedbatteriesmayexhibit
unpredictablebehaviorresultinginre,explosionorriskof
injury.
15. Donotexposeabatterypackorappliancetoreor
excessivetemperature.Exposuretoreortemperature
above265ºF(130°C)maycauseexplosion.
16. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
rangespeciedintheinstructions.Chargingimproperly
orattemperaturesoutsideofthespeciedrangemay
damagethebatteryandincreasetheriskofre.
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dierent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aqualiedtechnicianatanauthorizedSnowJoe

3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
groundedappliances.Unmodiedplugsandmatching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack and the generator
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 connecting with 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 the battery 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suereddangerousdamage(exhaustive
discharge).
9. Chargingbatteriesatatemperaturebelow41°F(5°C)will
causechemicaldamagetothecellsandmaycauseare.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat
during the charging process, as the battery cells may have
suereddangerousdamage.
