• Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is 41°F –
105ºF (5°C – 40.5°C). Do not charge the battery outside in
freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
• Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger, pull
the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to reduce the
risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry
the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord to disconnect
it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil
and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will not be stepped
on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress when the
charger is in use. Do not use the charger with a damaged
cord or plug. Replace a damaged charger immediately.
• 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.
• Check the rated input for the charger before using –
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
disconnect battery pack from unplugged charger.
m
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 pack – Battery pack
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 pack – Do not use
the battery pack 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 battery or charger are damaged,
contact an authorized Snow Joe
call the Snow Joe

1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.
• 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 pack is not in use,
keep it 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 pack and charger in a cool, dry
place – Do not store the battery pack 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 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 77°F
(25°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 heat gun,
and therefore pose a safety risk.
4. Do not throw the battery pack into an open fire as this
poses a risk of explosion.
5. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
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 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.
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 suffered serious damage. In such instances, please
read the waste disposal information for proper battery
disposal.
9. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the
equipment for safety reasons.
