for conventional NiMh, NiCd, lead acid and lithium-ion
cell types. If this advice is incorrect for a cell design
that differs from these, then the correct advice may be
substituted.)
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 packs or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the batteries and increase the risk of fire.
17. Prevent unintentional starting – Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking
up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with
your finger on the switch or energizing an appliance that
has the switch on invites accidents.
18. Disconnect battery pack before cleaning or servicing –
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the appliance accidentally.
19 Do not short circuit – When battery packs are not in use,
keep them 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.
20. Replacement parts – When servicing this unit, use only
identical replacement parts.
21. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery packs (as applicable) except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
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
Sun Joe
dealer or call the Snow Joe
®
customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).
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.
