If the snow thrower starts to vibrate abnormally, turn it
off immediately and check for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
Always turn off the snow thrower, remove the battery
from the snow thrower and wait until the auger comes
to a complete stop before carrying out maintenance or
repairs.
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.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
Do not service snow thrower with battery, switch key,
or charger installed.
Do not use the charger when the ambient temperature
is above 37.8° C (100°F) or below 0° C (32°F)
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug
which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, replace the charger with an identical
charger.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it to a qualified individual for electrical check to
determine if the charger is in good working order.
Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Disconnect charger from the power supply when not
in use to prevent damage to the charger during a
power surge.
Risk of electric shock, Do not touch uninsulated
portion of output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal.
Do not expose charger to wet or damp conditions,
Water entering charger will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or
moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls,
which could cause injury and damage to the cord,
which could result in electric shock.
Keep cord and charger away from heat to prevent
damage to housing or internal parts.
Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic.
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
