• 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.

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 packs 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 batteries or charger are damaged,
please contact an authorized Snow Joe
or call the Snow Joe

• 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 – 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.
• Store your battery packs and charger in a cool,
dry place – 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 metal building during the
summer.

Information about the batteries
1. The battery packs supplied with your cordless hedge
trimmer is 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 77°F
(25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process. The battery packs must be replaced at the latest
when their capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery packs are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
needed for the proper operation of your hedge trimmer,
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 them 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 batteries fall noticeably or the
electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery
packs in storage only after they have been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads
will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside
the batteries' 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 one
meter or those that have been exposed to violent shocks,
even if the housing of the battery packs appear to be
undamaged. The battery cells inside the batteries may
have suffered serious damage. In such instances,
please read the waste disposal information for proper
battery disposal.
10. If the battery packs suffer overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the
equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF button any more
if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may
damage the battery packs.
11. Do not use battery packs or an appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
12. Do not expose battery packs or an appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 266ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
13. 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 batteries and increase the risk of fire.
