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.
• Charger 24VCHRG-DPC is rated for 120 volt AC only –
The charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
• 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.).
• Disconnect the battery packs from the appliance before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing appliance – Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Avoid unintentional starting – Make sure the safety switch
and the switch lever are in the off position before inserting
the batteries in the unit. Do not carry the snow blower with
the safety switch and the ON/OFF trigger engaged.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature – Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C (265ºF) may cause explosion.
• 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 battery and increase the risk of fire.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts – This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery packs – except as indicated in the instructions for
use and care.
• 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, please
contact an authorized Snow Joe
the All Season Power customer service center at
1-866-225-9723.
• 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.
• Store your battery packs and charger in a cool,
dry place – Do not store the battery packs or charger where
temperatures may exceed 104ºF (40ºC), such as in direct
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
Information about the battery
1. The battery packs supplied with your cordless snow blower
are only partially charged. The battery packs have 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 packs frequently.
3. Store the battery packs in a cool place, ideally at 59°F
(15°C) and charged fully.
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 snow blower,
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 packs or expose 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
