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
disconnect battery pack from unplugged charger.
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 pack – Battery pack
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 pack – 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
call the Snow Joe + Sun Joe
®
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 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 – 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 trimmer +
edger 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 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
+ Sun Joe dealer or
® ®
customer service center at
®
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 trimmer
+ edger, and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw the battery pack 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 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 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 power supply button 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 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 specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
