• 

Maintain charger cord –

 When unplugging the charger,  

pull the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to reduce 
the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord.  
Never carry the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord 
to disconnect it from the receptacle. 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 the charger 
with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a damaged charger 
immediately.

• 

Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely 
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.

• 

Use only recommended attachments –

 Use of an 

attachment not recommended or sold by the battery 
charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in risk of 

fire, electric shock or personal injury.

• 

Unplug charger when not in use –

 Make sure to remove 

battery packs from unplugged chargers.

m

WARNING! 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, 

always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning 

or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. 

Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock 
hazards.

• 

Do not burn or incinerate battery packs –

 Battery packs 

may explode, causing personal injury or damage.  
Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs 
are burned.

• 

Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – 

Do not 

use the battery pack or charger if they have sustained a 
sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been damaged 
in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, 
stepped on, etc.).

• 

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 are damaged, 
contact an authorized Snow Joe

• 

Battery chemicals cause serious burns – 

Never let a 

damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth. 
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the 
battery; avoid contact. Liquid ejected from the battery may 
cause irritation or burns. If a damaged battery pack leaks 
battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to safely 

dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash the 

affected area with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. 

If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately 

flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. 

Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.

• 

Do not 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 pack and charger in a cool,  
dry place – 

Do not store the battery pack or charger where 

temperatures may exceed 105ºF (40.5ºC), such as in direct 
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the 
summer.

Information About the Battery

1. 

The battery pack supplied with your cordless power tool is 
only partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged 

completely before you use the tool for the first 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 
59°F (15°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 cordless power 
scrubber, and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. 

Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses 

a risk of explosion.

6. 

Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.

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 batteries 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 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.

IMPORTANT! 

Do not press the ON/OFF switch 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 other batteries 

poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.
