Work Area Safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders and children away. All bystanders,
including children and pets, should be kept a safe
distance away from the work area.
Electrical Safety
1. If the battery charger cable is damaged, please call the
Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®customer service center at
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
2. If charging the power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected power supply. The using of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any earthed (grounded)
power tools or battery chargers. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
4. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
6. Do not abuse the charging cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
7. Battery charger is for indoor use only. Only charge this
battery-powered tool indoors.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the
power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tool may result in serious personal
injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as safety glasses,
a dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, and
hearing protection, when used for appropriate conditions,
will reduce the possibility of personal injuries.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF position before connecting to the power source/
battery charger, or before picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or
charging power tools with the switch ON can lead to
accidents.

2
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 o. 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 aect 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 dierent
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 o
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
t 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.

Before Using
Charging Procedure
The battery charger supplied matches the lithium-ion battery
installed in the tool. Do not use other battery chargers.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging.
When the battery is empty, a protective circuit will
automatically switch OFF the machine. The blade will no
longer move and a slight whistling sound will be heard.
Charge the battery for 5 to 7 hours then use it until it runs
down (i.e. the tools starts to operate slowly). Recharge for
5 to 7 hours again before resuming operation.
mWARNING! Continued and excessive overuse of the
ON/OFF trigger switch can permanently damage the lithium-
ion battery.
mCAUTION! This charger does not automatically turn o
when the battery is fully charged. Please take care not to leave
the grass shear + hedge trimmer plugged into the charger.
Switch o or unplug the charger at the mains when charging is
complete.
NOTE: The charge level indicator LED light will illuminate red
when the charger is plugged in and is charging the grass shear
+ hedge trimmer. The middle LED light will turn green when the
grass shear + hedge trimmer is fully charged.
The charging process starts as soon as the charger is plugged
into both the proper electrical outlet and the tool.
• During the charging procedure, the handle of the tool will
feel slightly warm to the touch. This is normal.
• When no further use is planned for an extended period of time,
disconnect the battery charger from the outlet and the unit.
• Do not use the tool during the charging procedure.
Battery Charging
The length of service between each charging varies depending
on the type of work you are doing. The battery in this grass
shear + hedge trimmer has been designed to provide
maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, it will
eventually wear out. To obtain the longest possible battery life,
we suggest the following:
• Store and charge your grass shear + hedge trimmer in
a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery life.
• Never store the grass shear + hedge trimmer with the
battery in a discharged condition. Recharge the unit
immediately after it is discharged.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature is, the faster they lose their charge. If you
store your grass shear + hedge trimmer for long periods of
time without using it, recharge the battery every 6 months.
This will extend battery life.
NOTE: The grass shear + hedge trimmer has been shipped in
a low charge condition and should be fully charged before use.
1. Plug the charger adaptor into an appropriate AC power
outlet. Connect the AC adaptor charger plug into the
charging socket of the grass shear + hedge trimmer to
start charging (Fig. 9).
2. LED no.1 will illuminate red when charging. LED's 2 and 3
will not illuminate when charging (Fig. 10).
3. The battery will take approximately 3 hours to charge.
Charging may take up to 5 hours due to the level of
charge left in the battery and the ambient temperature.
NOTE: A charge level indicator LED light will always be
illuminated when the charger is plugged in and the mains
power is turned on. The charge indicator indicates the charge
status of the grass shear + hedge trimmer as shown below:

Operation
IMPORTANT! The product is intended for light-duty trimming
of shrubs and lawn edges for residential properties.
NOTE: Charge the battery for 3 to 5 hours then use it until it
runs down (i.e. the tool will only slowly operate and the yellow
charger indicator will be illuminated). Recharge for 3 to 5 hours
again before resuming operation.
mWARNING! The blades continue to move for a few
seconds after the tool is switched OFF. Turn OFF the tool and
wait until the blades come to a complete stop before adjusting
or cleaning.
mCAUTION! Never touch the blade or blade rail while
the tool is in operation and be aware of the sharp edges even
when the grass shear + hedge trimmer is not in use.
Starting + Stopping
1. To power ON, push and hold the safety lock-o button
with your thumb, while pressing the ON/OFF trigger switch
with your forenger. Once the trigger switch engages, you
can release the safety lock-o button and proceed with
operation (Fig. 11).
NOTE: The safety lock-o button reduces the risk of accidental
starting.
2. To power OFF, simply release the ON/OFF trigger switch
(Fig. 11).
mCAUTION! Do not force the blades through dense
growth. If the blades slow down, then reduce your cutting
pace. Should the blades jam, release the trigger immediately.
Do not use your ngers to free up jammed blades. Jammed
blades can release suddenly causing serious injury.
mCAUTION! Always ensure proper footing and balance
in a clean and clear work environment before switching on the
grass shear + hedge trimmer.
NOTE: The yellow charge indicator LED light will illuminate
when the battery is running low and requires charging.
Trimming Tips
mWARNING! Only use the hedge trimmer blade for this
operation. Never use the telescoping pole with the hedge
trimmer for trimming hedges.
NOTE: Try to keep the cutting device angled at approximately
15° to the cutting surface (Fig. 12).
1. Shaping – A hedge should be trimmed to achieve a
trapezoidal form; it should widen toward the bottom on
both sides. Shaping a hedge in this manner improves the
penetration of light to the lower extremities. A general
guideline is to slant the hedge approximately 4 in. (10 cm)
for each 39 in. (1 m) of hedge height.
2. Cutting Sequence – First cut both sides; start at the
bottom and work towards the top. This prevents cuttings
from falling into an area that you have yet to trim.
3. Trimming the Top – Where the branches have grown
extremely long, cut back the hedge in several stages. The
shorter cuttings obtained are best suited for composting.
4. Pruning Thick Branches – When older hedges are to be
cut a substantial amount, use pruning shears or some
other device to trim thicker branches (greater than 0.3 in.
[8 mm] in diameter) to the desired length before starting
work with the hedge trimmer.
To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme
edges of the hedge and then trim along the length of the
line.
Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with any
object made of hard material that could damage it, such
as fencing wire or metallic plant supports.

Maintenance
mWARNING! Always switch the product o and let the
product cool down before performing inspection, maintenance
and cleaning work.
1. Keep the ventilation vents of the tool clean at all times. If
possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
2. If the enclosure of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not
use solvents to clean it. Only use a moistened soft cloth.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; and never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
3. The blade rail should be cleaned and treated with light
machine oil or spray lubricant (such as WD40, CRC 5.56
or RP7) after each use. When a job lasts for a long period
of time, it is recommended that the blade rail also be
treated with spray lubricant at regular intervals during
operation.
4. Inspect the product before each use for worn and
damaged parts. Do not operate it if you nd broken and
worn parts.
Blade Maintenance
To ensure years of ecient and trouble-free operation, blade
cleaning should be performed if sap and debris have built-
up, or if you live in an area where the soil is sandy. Cleaning
unusually heavy deposits may require removal of the blades.
NOTE: Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®will not be held responsible for
any damage or injuries caused by repair of the trimmer by an
unauthorized person or by mishandling of the trimmer.
1. Keep the cutting blades clean and free of debris. Remove
trimmings.
2. Apply a small amount of suitable lubricant on the blades
to retain a good cutting performance (Fig. 13).
3. Keep the blades sharp. Have a worn or damaged cutting
device replaced with a new one of the same type by a qualied
specialist. Spare parts may be ordered online at snowjoe.
com or via phone by contacting the Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®
customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

7.2 V | DOS JUEGOS DE CUCHILLAS INTERCAMBIABLES
¡IMPORTANTE!
Instrucciones de seguridad
Todos los operadores deben leer
estas instrucciones antes del uso
Siga siempre estas normas de seguridad. No hacerlo podría
resultar en lesiones corporales severas o incluso la muerte.
¡ADVERTENCIAS generales de
seguridad!
Preste atención al símbolo m de alerta de seguridad personal
usado en este manual para enfocar su atención a una
ADVERTENCIA dada junto a una instrucción de operación
particular. Esto signica que la operación requiere ATENCIÓN,
PRECAUCIÓN y CAUTELA especiales.
Usted debe tomar precauciones básicas de seguridad siempre
que utilice esta herramienta eléctrica para reducir el riesgo
de incendio, choques eléctricos, lesiones personales y daños
materiales. Dichas precauciones incluyen las siguientes:
m¡ADVERTENCIA! ¡Esta unidad puede ser peligrosa! Su
descuido o uso incorrecto pueden causar lesiones graves.
m¡ADVERTENCIA! Las cuchillas giratorias pueden
causarle cortes. Mantenga las manos y los pies lejos de las
cuchillas y del área de corte.
Conserve este manual para futuras referencias y vuélvalo a
leer al inicio de cada temporada de corte.
m¡ADVERTENCIA! Esta herramienta a batería debe ser
recargada solo con la unidad cargadora especíca para su
batería. Una unidad de cargado que puede ser adecuada para
un tipo de batería puede causar un riesgo de incendio al ser
usada con otro tipo de batería.
• Evite el encendido accidental de la máquina.
• Cuando la herramienta no esté en uso, manténgala
alejada de otros objetos metálicos.
• Antes de operar la herramienta, lea cuidadosamente
el manual en su totalidad y asegúrese de saber cómo
apagar la herramienta en caso de emergencia.
Seguridad de área de trabajo
1. Mantenga el área de trabajo limpia y bien iluminada.
Las áreas de trabajo abarrotadas u oscuras provocan
accidentes.
2. No use herramientas eléctricas en atmósferas
explosivas, tales como en presencia de líquidos, gases
o polvos inamables. Las herramientas eléctricas crean
chispas que pueden encender los polvos o gases.
3. Mantenga alejados a los espectadores y niños. Todos
los espectadores, incluyendo mascotas, deberán estar a
una distancia segura del área de trabajo.
Seguridad eléctrica
1. Si el cable del cargador de batería está dañado,
comuníquese con la central de servicio al cliente
Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®llamando al 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).
2. Si cargar la herramienta eléctrica en una ubicación mojada
es inevitable, utilice una fuente de alimentación protegida
por un dispositivo de corriente residual (residual current
device o RCD por sus siglas en inglés). El uso de un RCD
reduce el riesgo de un choque eléctrico.
3. El enchufe de la herramienta eléctrica debe encajar
en el tomacorriente. Nunca modique el enchufe de
ninguna manera. No use ninguna herramienta eléctrica o
cargador de batería que tenga conexión a tierra. El uso de
enchufes no modicados y tomacorrientes equivalentes
reducirá el riesgo de un choque eléctrico.
4. Evite el contacto de su cuerpo con supercies puestas
a tierra tales como tuberías, radiadores, cocinas
eléctricas y refrigeradoras. Hay un mayor riesgo de un
choque eléctrico si su cuerpo está conectado a tierra.
5. No exponga las herramientas eléctricas a la lluvia
o a condiciones húmedas. El agua que entra a una
herramienta eléctrica incrementará el riesgo de un choque
eléctrico.
6. No maltrate el cable del cargador. Nunca use el cable
para transportar, jalar o desenchufar este artefacto.
Mantenga el cable alejado del calor, aceite, bordes losos
o partes en movimiento. Los cables dañados o enredados
aumentan el riesgo de choques eléctricos.
7. El cargador de batería solo es para uso en interiores. Solo
cargue esta herramienta a batería en interiores.

16
Seguridad personal
1. Manténgase alerta. Preste atención a lo que está
haciendo y use el sentido común al operar su
herramienta eléctrica. No utilice la herramienta cuando
se encuentre cansado o bajo la inuencia de drogas,
alcohol o medicamentos. Un momento de distracción
durante el uso de esta herramienta eléctrica puede
ocasionar lesiones severas.
2. Utilice equipos de protección personal. Use siempre
protección ocular. Al ser usados en condiciones
apropiadas, los equipos de protección tales como gafas
de seguridad, máscara antipolvo, zapatos antideslizantes,
casco o protección auditiva, reducirán las probabilidades
de lesiones personales.
3. Evite encendidos accidentales. Asegúrese de que el
interruptor esté en la posición de APAGADO (“OFF”) antes
de levantar, transportar o conectar la máquina a la fuente
de alimentación/batería. Llevar herramientas eléctricas
con su dedo en el interruptor o cargarlas con el interruptor
en la posición de ENCENDIDO (“ON”) puede provocar
accidentes.
4. Retire cualquier llave de ajuste o llave inglesa antes
de encender la herramienta. Una llave inglesa o de otro
tipo, conectada a una parte giratoria de la herramienta
eléctrica, podría causar lesiones personales.
5. No se sobreextienda. Mantenga el equilibrio apropiado
en todo momento. Esto permite mejor control de la
herramienta eléctrica en situaciones inesperadas.
6. Vístase adecuadamente No utilice prendas holgadas
ni joyería. Objetos colgantes como estos pueden
engancharse en las partes móviles. Se recomienda el
uso de guantes de goma y calzado protector cuando se
trabaje en exteriores. Utilice cubiertas protectoras de
cabello para sujetar y contener cabello largo.
7. Use equipos para protección contra el polvo (p. ej.,
máscaras anti-polvo) de estar disponibles. El uso
de estos dispositivos puede reducir drásticamente los
peligros relacionados con el polvo.
Uso y cuidado de la herramienta
eléctrica
1. No fuerce esta herramienta eléctrica. Hará el trabajo
mejor, con menos posibilidades de lesiones de ser usada
a la velocidad para la cual fue diseñada.
2. No emplee la herramienta eléctrica si el interruptor no
la enciende y apaga. Cualquier herramienta eléctrica que
no pueda ser controlada por el interruptor se considera
peligrosa y debe ser reparada inmediatamente.
3. Desconecte la batería de la herramienta eléctrica
antes de realizar cualquier ajuste, cambiar accesorios
o almacenar la herramienta eléctrica. Estas medidas
preventivas de seguridad reducen el riesgo de un
encendido accidental de la herramienta eléctrica.
4. Guarde la herramienta eléctrica inactiva en interiores.
Cuando no esté siendo usada, la herramienta eléctrica
deberá ser guardada en interiores, en lugares secos y
altos o bajo llave, lejos del alcance de los niños.
5. Cuide la herramienta eléctrica. Verique que no haya
desalineamientos o atascamientos de partes móviles,
partes rotas o cualquier otra condición que pueda afectar
la operación de la herramienta eléctrica. Si la herramienta
eléctrica está dañada, hágala reparar antes de su uso.
Muchos accidentes son causados por herramientas
eléctricas mal mantenidas.
6. Mantenga las cuchillas limpias y aladas. Las cuchillas
de corte mantenidas adecuadamente, con bordes
alados, tienen menos probabilidades de trabarse y son
más fáciles de controlar.
7. Use la herramienta eléctrica y los accesorios en
conformidad con estas instrucciones y en la manera
destinada para el uso particular de la herramienta
eléctrica, tomando en cuenta las condiciones
de trabajo y la labor a ser realizada. Emplear la
herramienta eléctrica para operaciones distintas a las
cuales está destinada puede resultar peligroso.
8. Mantenga todas las partes del cuerpo alejadas de la
cuchilla. No retire material cortado ni sujete el material
a ser cortado cuando las cuchillas estén moviéndose.
Asegúrese de que el interruptor esté apagado al limpiar
material atascado. Un momento de distracción durante el
uso de este producto podría ocasionar lesiones severas.
9. Lleve el producto por el mango, con la cuchilla
cortadora detenida. Al transportar o almacenar el
producto, siempre coloque la cubierta sobre el dispositivo
de corte. Una manipulación apropiada del producto
reducirá el riesgo de lesiones personales causadas por
las cuchillas de corte.
10. Sujete la herramienta solamente por supercies de
agarre aisladas debido a que la cuchilla de corte puede
hacer contacto con alambres ocultos. Las cuchillas de
corte que hagan contacto con un alambre con corriente
eléctrica pueden exponer las partes de la herramienta a la
electricidad y causar un choque eléctrico al operador.
11. Inspeccione los arbustos en busca de objetos
extraños antes de la operación (por ejemplo, cercas de
alambre). Tenga cuidado de que el dispositivo de corte
no entre en contacto con el alambre u otros objetos
metálicos.
12. Sujete el producto adecuadamente, es decir, con
ambas manos si el producto tiene dos mangos. La
pérdida de control puede causar lesiones personales.
