• Remove the batteries – To reduce the risk of fire, turn
off the log splitter and remove the batteries when not
in use, when clearing jammed material, before making
adjustments, before changing accessories, before storing,
or before performing any maintenance.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the
battery packs in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery packs 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 packs, 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 batteries are
41°F (5°C) to 105°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the batteries
outside in freezing weather; charge them 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 power cord. Never carry the
charger by its cord. 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 a 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.
• Do not expose the machine or battery packs to fire –
Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F (130°C)
may cause the battery packs to explode, causing personal
injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created
when battery packs are ignited.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs –
Do not use the battery packs or charger if they have
sustained a sharp blow, been dropped from a height
of more than 3 feet (1 meter), run over or have been
damaged in any way. Even if the housing of a 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.
• Do not disassemble – Incorrect reassembly may pose
a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic
battery chemicals. If the batteries or charger are damaged,
contact an authorized Snow Joe

• Battery chemicals cause serious burns – If damaged,
battery chemicals may be discharged from the battery.
Battery chemicals from a lithium-ion battery will react
violently with air; avoid contact. If skin is exposed to
battery chemicals, wash the affected area with soap
and water. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals,
immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek
medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated
clothing.
• Risk of 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 paperclips, 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 packs and charger in a cool, dry
place – Ideally, store the battery packs at 59°F (15°C) and
charged to at least 40%. Do not store the battery packs or
charger where temperatures may exceed 105ºF (40.5ºC),
such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle, or where
temperatures may drop below 41°F (5°C).
NOTE: Prevent the battery packs from freezing. Battery
packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60
minutes must be discarded.
• Charge before use – The battery packs supplied with
your machine are only partially charged. The battery packs
have to be fully charged before using the log splitter for
the first time.
• Battery Aging – Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a
natural aging process. A 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 machine, and
therefore pose a safety risk.
• Do not exhaustively discharge battery packs –
A complete discharge will damage the battery cells. The
most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy
storage. Stop working as soon as the performance of a
battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. For optimum battery performance, charge the
battery packs frequently. Place the battery packs in
storage only after they have been fully charged.
• Do not overload battery packs – Protect the log splitter
and batteries from overloading. Overloads will quickly
result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery
housing even if it is not apparent externally. For safety
reasons, the integrated protective cutoff will activate
to switch off the equipment. After regular use, allow
the battery packs to cool to room temperature before
recharging them.
IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to turn on the machine if the
protective cutoff has been activated. This may damage
the battery packs.
