or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the 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.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD) ” may
be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) ” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) ”.
7. Battery charger is for indoor use only. Only charge this
battery-powered tool indoors.
8. If the battery charger cable is damaged, please call the
Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®customer service center at

Information about the battery
1. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
2. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 59°F
(15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
3. 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 cordless hedge
trimmer, and therefore pose a safety risk.
4. Do not throw battery packs into an open re as this poses
a risk of explosion.
5. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to re.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries
that have been dropped from a height of more than
3 feet (1 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.
9. If the battery pack suers overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cuto will switch o the
equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more
if the protective cut-o has been activated. This may
damage the battery pack.
10. Recharge only with the charger specied by the

another battery pack.
11. Use appliances only with specically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
12. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
13. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk
of injury.
14. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature
above 266ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
15. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specied range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
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.

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.

5
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. 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 41°F (5°C) will
cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a re.
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.

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

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
