Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless snow thrower 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 snow thrower, 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 one 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!
activated. This may damage the battery pack. And it will auto recover after 3s.
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. Please call customer servise at 1800-7919458.
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.
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.
Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off has been
