• 

Do not short circuit – 

When battery pack is not in use, 

keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, 

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, 

that can make a connection from one terminal to another. 

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns  

or a fire.

•  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 hedge 

trimmer, 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. 

Recharge only with the charger specified by the 

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of 

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with 

another battery pack.

12. 

Use appliances only with specifically designated battery 

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of 

injury and fire.

13. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, 

flush 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 modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit 

unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk 

of injury.

15. 

Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or 

excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature 

above 266ºF (130°C) may cause explosion. 

16. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the 

battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature 

range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly 

or at temperatures outside of the specified range may 

damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

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 a qualified 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. Unmodified plugs and matching 

outlets will 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.
