4.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before starting the power tool. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

5.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Dangling articles such as these can become caught in moving parts. Using work gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear

a protective hair covering to contain long hair.

7.Use dust-reducing equipment (e.g. dust masks) when available. Using these devices can greatly reduce dust-related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1.Do not force the appliance. It will do the job better with less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.

2.Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3.Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4.Store idle appliances indoors. When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place out of the reach of children.

5.Maintain appliance with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many 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 for the particular use of the power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Using the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

8.Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.

Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention while operating the product may result in serious personal injury.

9.Carry the product by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the product always fit 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.

11.Check the hedge for foreign objects before operation, e.g. wire fences. Take care that the cutting device does not come into contact with wire or other metal objects.

12.Hold the product properly, e.g. with both hands if two handles are provided. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Service

1.If your power tool requires service, 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). Only identical replacement parts should be utilized for repairs. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

2.If the battery charger cable is damaged, it must be immediately replaced to avoid a hazard. Contact the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.

Battery Safety Warnings

This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for your battery and charger.

1.Before using the charging, thoroughly read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, the telescoping pole, and the cordless grass shear + hedge trimmer.

mWARNING! If the grass shear + hedge trimmer housing is cracked or damaged, do not insert the charging adaptor into the power tool or plug the power tool into the mains outlet.

There is a danger of electric shock or electrocution.

2.This charger is ONLY intended to charge this rechargeable battery. Any other use poses a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

3.Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that may result in excessive internal heat. Keep the charger away from any heat source.

4.To reduce the risk of damaging the electric plug and cord, pull the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the charger from the electric outlet.

5.Make sure the battery charging cable is located in a safe place so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

6.An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Using an improper extension cord poses a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

7.Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow or has become damaged in any way. Contact the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center

at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) before continuing use.

8.Do not disassemble the charger. If the charger requires service or repair, 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). Incorrect reassembly poses a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.

9.To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before cleaning the unit.

10.Never attempt to connect two (2) chargers together.

11.DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104 ºF (40 ºC). Dangerous storing locations include outdoor sheds or metal buildings in the summer.

12.The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 V). Do not attempt to use it with any other voltage!

NOTE: The integrated battery is not fully charged out of the carton. Read the safety instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.

13.The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the integrated battery is charged when the air temperature is between 64.4ºF – 75.2ºF (18ºC – 24ºC). Do not charge the battery pack when the air temperature falls below 50ºF (10ºC) or above 104ºF (40ºC). Following these safety measures will prevent damage to the battery pack.

14.Do not incinerate the integrated battery even if it is seriously damaged or completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.

15.Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. 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.
