Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless chain saw
sharpener 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 77°F
(25°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 chain saw
sharpener, 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 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 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.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more
if the protective cut-o has been activated. This may
damage the battery pack.
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 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 41°F (5°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.

Basic Sharpening Procedure
1. Put on your protective gear and make sure the immediate
area is clear of bystanders.
2. Insert the battery into the battery compartment on the
back of the machine, until it clicks into position. Press the
On/O switch on the ON (I) side to turn on the machine
(Fig. 14).
4. It's normal that during the operation there will be a slight
amount of sparks. Lift the motor head assembly often and
examine the tooth. If there's a full curve of the tooth with a
shiny metal nish, the tooth is well sharpened.
Note: A good grind occurs when the contact between the
wheel and the teeth are gradual and smooth. Do not keep
the grinding wheel in contact with one tooth for too long.
5. After sharpening one tooth, turn o the machine by
pressing the OFF(O) side of the On/O switch. Lift up the
motor head assembly. Flip the chain guide lock to the
unlock position and move the chain so that the next chain
tooth comes before the chain stop. Flip the chain guide
lock to the lock position and continue to sharpen the next
tooth. Repeat this process until you have sharpened all the
teeth on the same side (Fig. 16).

6. After you nished sharpening all of the teeth on one side,
turn o the machine and remove the battery. Loosen the
swivel angle adjusting knob and reset the swivel angle to
the same angle on the other side (e.g. if you use 20° on
right as the swivel angle for one side, set it to 20° on left
for the other side) (Fig. 17).

Note: Refer to Set the Swivel Angle section on page 10 for
detailed instruction of how to adjust the swivel angle.
7. The other side of the chain teeth should be able to t the
same setting of chain stop and grinding depth. However,
it's recommended to double check everything before
inserting the battery and turning on the machine.
8. After all of the teeth have been sharpened, turn o the
machine and remove the battery.
Operating Tips
mWARNING! To ensure that the chain saw works safely
and eciently, it is essential that the cutting components
are well-sharpened. Any work on the chain and bar requires
specic experience and special tools.
Sharpening is necessary when:
• the sawdust looks like dust;
• cutting becomes more dicult;
• the cut is not straight;
• vibrations increase.
After sharpening, check that the depth limiter tooth does not
stick out farther than the inspection tool and le any projecting
parts with a at le (not included), rounding o the edges
(Fig. 18).

Maintenance
Please 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 all maintenance
operations not foreseen in this manual. Any operation
performed in an unauthorized service center or by unqualied
personnel will completely invalidate the warranty.
Maintain the product with the following recommended
procedures. It is recommended to check the general condition
of every part before using. Keep your tool in good condition.
Keep all cutting edges sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
Cleaning
We recommend that you clean the device everytime
immediately after using. Clean with a moist cloth and a soft
soap or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• Remove the battery each time before cleaning.

free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
• Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack
the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water
can seep into the device.

Replacing the Grinding Wheel
Check the grinding wheel before each use to make sure it's
not damaged. Do not use a grinding wheel if it is chipped,
cracked, or worn. You can check if the wheel has minor cracks
by hanging it up by the central hole and tapping it with a non
metal object (ie; screwdriver handle). A grinding wheel in good
condition will produce a metallic sound. A dull sound indicates
a crack or break.
Replace the grinding wheel when it grinds down to a outside
diameter of 3 inches.
mWARNING! This cordless chain saw sharpener uses
a standard 4.25 inch x 1/8 inch grinding wheel with 100
grit. Only use the identical grinding wheels for replacement.
Grinding wheels of other sizes may cause malfunction or
personal injury.
mCAUTION! Wear heavy duty gloves when handling with
the grinding wheel.
1. Before handling the grinding wheel, turn o the machine
and remove the battery. Wait until the grinding wheel
comes to a complete stop.
2. Remove the 3 screws used for securing the grinding wheel
guard, then remove the grinding wheel guard and expose
the worn grinding wheel (Fig. 19).

4. Place the new grinding wheel in position, x it by the
grinding wheel retainer.
NOTE: Examine the grinding wheel and adjust the
tightness of the retainer to make sure the grinding
wheel can rotate freely. DO NOT overtighten the
grinding wheel retainer.
5. Replace the grinding wheel guard, x with the
original screws.
mCAUTION! Never operate a chain saw sharpener
without a proper installed grinding wheel guard.
NOTE: It's recommended to perform a test run for at least
30 seconds with no load before using this product for the rst
time and after changing the grinding wheel. Switch o the
product immediately if the grinding wheel is no longer round
or irregular, considerable vibration occurs or you notice
abnormal noise.

3. To remove the worn grinding wheel, rotate the grinding
wheel retainer counterclockwise (Fig. 20) to unlock, then
take out the retainer and the worn wheel.
Proper Care for Battery + Charger
mWARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger
before performing any maintenance task. Never disassemble
the battery pack or charger. Contact your Snow Joe® +
Sun Joe® dealer or the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer
service center for ALL repairs.
1. To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse
your battery pack or charger in liquid or allow any liquid to
ow inside these components.
2. Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and
electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.
3. Use only mild soap on a damp cloth to clean the battery
pack and charger, keeping away from all electrical
contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia. Never use
ammable or combustible solvents around battery packs,
battery chargers or tools.

Battery + Charger O-Season Storage
1. Do not expose your battery pack or charger to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the charger and the battery pack. 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 pack 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. iON+ 24VBAT-LTE lithium-ion 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.
3. Failure to insert batteries in the correct polarity, as
indicated in the battery compartment or manual, may
shorten the life of the batteries or cause batteries to leak.
4. Do not mix old and new batteries.
5. Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc) or
Rechargeable (Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, or
Lithium-Ion) batteries.
6. Do not dispose of batteries in re.
