Specific Safety Warnings for Pole Chain Saw

1.Only the pole chain saw operator should be in the work area.

2.Do not use the pole chain saw to cut down trees.

3.Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw. Grip the pole chain saw securely with one hand on the trigger and the other hand on the pole.

4.Before starting the pole chain saw, make sure that the saw chain is not in contact with any object.

5.Do not allow the pole chain saw to make contact with grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.

6.Do not force the pole chain saw while cutting. Apply light pressure. It will perform more effectively and safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.

7.Use extreme caution when cutting a limb that is under tension. When wood tension is released, the limb could spring back and strike the operator, causing severe injury or death.

8.During transport, hold the pole at its balance point, with the guide bar and chain facing to the rear.

9.Do not cut small brush and saplings with the pole chain saw. Small branches may catch in the chain and be whipped towards the operator, which could pull the operator off balance.

10.Never stand directly under the limb you are trimming. Always position yourself outside the path of falling debris.

11.Keep a firm, steady pressure on the pole chain saw while cutting. Do not try to cut limbs larger in diameter than the length of the guide bar.

12.Keep other people and pets away from the cutting end of the pole chain saw and at a safe distance away from the work area.

Kickback

mWARNING! Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

AVOID CONTACTING THE GUIDE BAR TIP WITH ANY OBJECT. In some cases, when the tip makes contact with an object, it may cause a fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may also push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the pole chain saw, which could result in serious personal injury.

•Kickback safety devices on this pole chain saw include a skip chain and a low kickback guide bar. These will reduce, but not entirely prevent, kickbacks. Follow the necessary precautions indicated in this operator's manual to avoid kickbacks.

•Always use two hands when operating the pole chain saw, one hand gripping the trigger and the other hand gripping the pole. Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around the trigger and the pole.

•Keep all guards in place on the pole chain saw. Make sure they are in proper working order.

•Do not overreach or extend arms above shoulder height.

•Keep solid footing and balance at all times.

•Never try cutting through two branches at the same time.

Only cut one at a time.

•Do not bury the guide bar nose or try to cut by boring the guide bar nose into the wood.

•Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch the chain.

•Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.

•Use the low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with this pole chain saw. Only use genuine Snow Joe® +

Sun Joe® replacement parts designed specifically for use with this pole chain saw.

•Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep the chain sharp and properly tensioned.

Specific Safety Warnings for Pole Hedge Trimmer

Battery & Charger

Safety Instructions

We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe, durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs.

Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of the battery pack can cause cell damage.

IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care of high-performance batteries are the main factors responsible for personal and/or product damage.

mWARNING! Use only approved replacement batteries; other batteries may damage the power tool and cause it to malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.

mWARNING! 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 modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.

Have your battery pack serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the battery pack is maintained.

mCAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, charge the 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery pack only in its designated

24V iON+ lithium-ion charger. Other types of chargers present risk of fire, personal injury and damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Such misuse will permanently disable or damage the battery pack.

•Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations. Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of

explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the battery pack, which could lead to a fire.

•Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.

NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is 40°F (4.5°C) to 105°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the battery

outside in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.

•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.

•Charger 24VCHRG-AC is rated for 100 – 240 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.

mWARNING! 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.

4

•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® + Sun Joe® dealer or

call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 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 – 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 paper clips, 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 garden tool system, 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.

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® + Sun 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.

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.

5

7.Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.

8.Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has been more than 12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

9.Charging batteries at a temperature below 50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.

10.Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.

11.Do not use batteries that have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).

12.Never fully discharge the battery pack

(maximum recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging of the battery cells.

Protection from environmental influences

1.Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.

2.Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3.Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapors and flammable liquids.

4.Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and at an ambient temperature of

40°F – 105°F (4.5°C – 40.5°C).

5.Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to reach over 104°F (40°C). In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.

6.Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries that have been overheated – replace them immediately, if possible.

7.Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry locations with an ambient temperature of 40°F – 105°F (4.5°C – 40.5°C). Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 50°F – 68°F

(10°C – 20°C). Protect the battery pack, charger and cordless tool from humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in storage

(charged to at least 40%).

8.Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be discarded.

9.When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge. Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.
