BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that
we supply you with batteries that are safe, durable and have a high energy density.
The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. This data is then
used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling
of the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT: Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care of high-
performance batteries are the main factors responsible for personal and/or
product damage.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: Use only approved replacement batteries; other batteries may
damage the snow blower and cause it to malfunction.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge the 60V lithium-ion battery packs
only in their designated 60V lithium-ion charger. Other types of chargers present
risk of fire, personal injury and damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power
supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Such misuse will permanently disable or damage
the battery pack.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE BATTERY
1. The battery packs supplied with your cordless snow blower are 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 pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 59oF (15oC) and charged fully.
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 blower, 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.
5554-514

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 the battery 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 suered serious
damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for
proper battery disposal.
10. If the battery pack suers overloading and overheating, the integrated
protective cuto will switch o the equipment for safety reasons. If this
situation happens, stop the tool and let the battery cool down for a few
minutes before restarting.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF trigger any more if the protective
cut-o has been activated. This may damage the battery pack.
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 dierent 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. Have damaged cords repaired
without delay by a qualified technician or call the customer service center at
1-833-818-4111.
3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded tools. 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.

8
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has been more than
12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability
that the battery pack has already suered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 41oF (5oC) will cause chemical
damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during the charging
process, as the battery cells may have suered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suered curvature or deformation during the
charging process or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing,
hissing, cracking, etc.)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum recommended depth of
discharge is 80%) A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to
premature aging of the battery cells.
PROTECTION FROM ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain.
Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapors and
flammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and at an
ambient temperature of 50oF - 104oF (10oC - 40oC).
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to
reach over 105oF (40.5oC). In particular, do not leave the battery charger in
a car that is parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, overcharging and exposure
to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or
work with batteries that have been overheated – replace them immediately,
if possible.
7. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry locations with an ambient
temperature of 50oF - 104oF (10oC - 40oC). Store your lithium-ion battery pack
in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 50oF - 68oF (10oC - 20oF). Protect the
battery pack, charger and cordless tool from humidity and direct sunlight.
Only place fully charged batteries in storage.
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery packs that were
stored below 32oF (0oC) for more than 60 minutes must be discarded.
9. When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge. Electrostatic
discharges can damage the electronic protection system and the battery
cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.

To obtain the best life from the battery
NOTE:
1. Never allow the battery to completely discharge before recharging. The battery
pack should be placed on the charger whenever the battery pack is noticeably
running down or the tool no longer performs a task as it previously performed.
2. Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery is fully charged
each time by allowing the charger to complete its full charging cycle.
3. Avoid allowing loose items like screws or nails etc. to be stored with battery
packs as these or similar items can short battery packs’ life and cause a fire
or explosion.
4. Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in a dry and secure place.
5. Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below 5°C and above 45°C.
6. After use, allow the battery pack to cool down for approximately 30 minutes
before attempting to recharge.

MOVING THE MACHINE & PLOWING THE SNOW
WARNING: Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string,
can be picked up and thrown by the snowblower, causing serious personal injury.
Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating the
snowblower.
1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can become thrown
by the rotating paddle. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some
objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the snowblower hits
an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop the snowblower,
disconnect the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit
for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and
operating the unit.
2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware
that the normal noise of the machine when turned on may make it dicult for
you to hear approaching people.
3. When moving the snowblower, use the wheels on one side as the pivot point.
Slightly tilt the snowblower on this pivot point to move it forward or backward.
4. Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet and work outward, throwing
snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction, step over
the cord and pivot the snowblower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap clearing
paths.

5. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so
that the snow is not thrown against the wind (and then back into your face and
onto the just cleared path).
6. While moving the snowblower, do not drag the power c able violently or roughly.
The s now thrower should move within the range that the cable can reach.
7. Do not push the snowblower with excessive force. You should push the machine
gently and evenly in accordance with the unit’s throw rate.
8. Do not apply additional man-made load to the engine since this may cause
engine damage.
9. Some parts of the snowblower may freeze under extreme temperature
conditions. Do not attempt to operate the snowblower with frozen parts. If the
parts freeze while the snowblower is in use, stop the snowblower, unplug the
extension cord, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting
or operating the snowblower. Never force controls that have frozen.
10. When working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces, avoid throwing loose
surface material along with the snow by pushing down on the handle to raise
the scraper bar at the base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
CHANGING THROW DIRECTION AND THROW HEIGHT
1. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180 degrees by rotating the chute crank.
Rotate the chute control crank clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left
(Fig. 22) and counter-clockwise to move the chute to the right (Fig. 23).
NOTE: A little lubricant, such as WD- 40, will provide a smoother operation of the
chute (spray at points A and B as indicated in Fig. 22).
2. The chute deflector on the top of the discharge chute controls the height of the
snow stream. Loosen the knob to raise or lower desired height of snow you wish
to throw. Tighten the knob to secure the detector (Fig. 24).
