Battery + Charger
Safety Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling
of the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses conrm that incorrect use and poor
care of high-performance batteries are the main factors
responsible for personal and/or product damage.
mWARNING! Use only approved replacement batteries;
other batteries may damage the cordless snow blower and
cause it to malfunction, which can lead to serious personal
injury.
mCAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, charge the
iON100V-5AMP lithium-ion battery pack only in its designated
lithium-ion charger, the iON100V-RCH. Other types of chargers
present risk of re, personal injury and damage. Do not wire
a battery pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette lighter.
Such misuse will permanently disable or damage the battery
pack.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the
battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of
explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or ammable
materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing the battery pack, which could lead to a re.
• 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 ames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is -4°F
(-20°C) to 113°F (45°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 re and electric shock.
If an extension cord must be used, plug the charger into a
properly wired 18 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.
• Charger iON100V-RCH is rated for 100 – 120 volt AC
only – 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
re, electric shock or personal injury.
• Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
mWARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock,
always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning
or maintenance. Do not allow water to ow into the charger.
Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock
hazards.
• Do not burn or incinerate the battery pack – Battery
packs may explode, causing personal injury or damage.
Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs
are burned.
• Do not crush, drop or damage the 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, re or exposure to toxic
battery chemicals. If the battery or charger are damaged,
contact an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer or
call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at
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 uids, wash the aected area with
soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed
to battery chemicals, immediately ush with water for 20
minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose
of contaminated clothing.
• Do not short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if
a metal object makes a connection between the positive
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 re and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry
place – Do not store the battery pack or charger where
temperatures may exceed 104ºF (40ºC), such as in direct
2
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless snow blower
is only partially charged. The battery pack has to be
charged completely before you use the tool for the
rst time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 59°F
(15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. 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 snow blower,
and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open re as this poses
a risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to re.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries
that have been dropped from a height of more than one
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
suered serious damage. In such instances, please read
the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
10. If the battery pack suers overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cuto will switch o the
equipment for safety reasons. If this situation happens,
stop the tool and let the battery cool down for a few
minutes before restarting.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries
poses a re 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 dierent 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 qualied technician at an authorized Snow Joe® +
Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun 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. Unmodied plugs and matching
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.
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 suered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 50°F (10°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
suered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suered 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.
3
Protection from environmental
inuences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from
moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous
cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near
vapors and ammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger only in dry conditions and at an
ambient temperature of 50-104°F (10-40°C).
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the
temperature is liable to reach over 104°F (40°C). In
particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is
parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result
in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work
with batteries that have been overheated – replace them
immediately, if possible.
7. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry
locations with an ambient temperature of 50-104°F
(10-40°C). Store your lithium-ion battery packs in a cool,
dry place at a temperature of 50-68°F (10-20°C). Protect
the battery pack, charger and cordless tool from humidity
and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in
storage (charged to at least 40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery
packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60
minutes must be discarded.
9. When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge.

Operating Tips
mWARNING! Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by
the snow blower, causing serious personal injury. Remove all
foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating
the snow blower.
Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow fall.
1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that
can become thrown by the blades. Perform a thorough
inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden
from view by surrounding snow. If the snow blower hits
an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the snow blower, remove the battery, remove the
obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage. Repair or
replace any damaged part before restarting and operating
the unit.
2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of
operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine
when turned on may make it dicult for you to hear
approaching people.
3. To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping series of paths.
For large areas, start in the middle and throw snow to
each side, so snow is not cleared more than once.
4. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same
direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown
against the wind (and thus back into your face and on the
just cleared path).
5. Do not push the snow blower with excessive force. Do not
exceed the unit's intake or throw rate.
6. Some parts of the snow blower may freeze under extreme
temperature conditions. Do not attempt to operate the
snow blower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the
snow blower is in use, stop the snow blower, remove the
battery, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before
restarting or operating the snow blower. Never force
controls that have frozen.

Replacing Auger Blades
During use, the auger blades will wear down over time, which
will eventually cause incomplete cleaning. If the unit cannot
plow snow completely and leaves snow on ground, consider
changing the auger blades.
mWARNING! Replacing the auger blades involves
close operation with the auger and the blades. To avoid
injury caused by unintentional starting, make sure the battery
(or batteries) are not inserted before proceeding with the
operation, and wear heavy duty gloves during operation.
Tools Required (Not Provided):
• 10 mm wrench
• 13 mm wrench
• Heavy duty gloves
In total there are 6 blade pieces xed by 16 sets of screws,
washers and nuts in the unit. When replacing worn auger
blades, pay close attention to the order in which you remove
them. Remove the 4 blade pieces on the sides rst, and then
the 2 blade pieces xed on the middle steel plate. Assemble

Battery+ChargerO-SeasonStorage
1. Do not expose your battery pack(s) or charger to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the charger and the battery packs. Do not use oil
or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery pack as the
plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a
serious risk of injury.
2. Store the battery packs and charger at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery
pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack
is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures
(over 120ºF/49ºC).
3. iON100V-5AMP battery packs maintain their charge
during storage longer than other battery pack types.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug the battery
charger and remove the battery pack when they are not
in use. Recharge the battery pack every 6 months to
50% capacity (2 lights on) during o-season storage to
maintain optimal battery performance.
