• Store Idle Snow throwers Indoors – When not in use, snow throwers should

be stored indoors in a dry, locked-up place – out of reach of children.

• Run the power tool a few minutes after throwing snow to prevent freeze-up

of the collector/auger.

• 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.

• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or excessive emperature
