1. If the battery charger cable is damaged, please call the
Snow Joe
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
2. If charging the power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected power supply. The using of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any earthed (grounded)
power tools or battery chargers. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
4. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
6. Do not abuse the charging cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
7. Battery charger is for indoor use only. Only charge this
battery-powered tool indoors.

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting blades sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting blades with sharp edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended

stopped. When transporting or storing the product always
t the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the product
will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
10. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring.
Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.

e.g. wire fences. Take care that the cutting device does
not come into contact with wire or other metal objects.
