and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a
battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit,
such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other
metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk
of fire and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery packs and charger in a cool, dry
place – Do not store the battery packs 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 batteries

1. The battery packs supplied in your cordless scarifier +
dethatcher are only partially charged. The battery packs
have to be charged completely before you use the tool for
the first time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery packs frequently.
3. Store the battery packs in a cool place, ideally at 77°F
(25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process. The battery packs must be replaced at the latest
when their 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 scarifier
+ dethatcher, and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw the battery packs into an open fire as this
poses a risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery packs or expose them to fire.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge the batteries. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common
cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-
use of partially discharged battery. Stop working as soon
as the performance of the battery fall noticeably or the
electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery
packs in storage only after they have been fully charged.
8. Protect the 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.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace the
batteries that has been dropped from a height of more
than one meter or has 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.
10. If the battery packs suffer overloading and overheating, the
integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment
for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the switch lever bar any more
if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may
damage the battery packs.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries
poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.
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 different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage.
Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay
by a qualified technician at an authorized Snow Joe
Sun Joe dealer or call the Snow Joe
®
customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).
3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep the battery charger, battery packs 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 packs will
become warm. Allow the battery packs to cool to room
temperature before recharging.
7. Do not overcharge the batteries. Do not exceed the
maximum charging times. These charging times only apply
to discharged batteries. Frequent connection of a charged
or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging
and cell damage. Do not leave the batteries connected
with the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge battery 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 suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
9. Charging the batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C)
will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a
fire.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat
during the charging process, as the battery cells may have
suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use the battery if it suffered curvature or
deformation during the charging process or exhibit other
atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
12. Never fully discharge the battery packs (maximum
recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete
discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging
of the battery cells.
