Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless power tool 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 cordless drill/
driver, 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
3 feet (1 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. Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of re when used with
another battery pack.
12. Use appliances only with specically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
3
13. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns. (This advice is considered correct
for conventional NiMh, NiCd, lead acid and lithium-ion
cell types. If this advice is incorrect for a cell design
that diers from these, then the correct advice may be
substituted.)
14. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of
injury.
15. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature
above 266ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
16. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specied range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
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 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.

2. To select reverse rotation, press the reverse selector
switch in the opposite direction (Fig. 12).
mCAUTION! To prevent gear damage, always allow
the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
mWARNING! Battery tools are always in operating
condition. Lock the switch when not in use or carrying at your
side, when installing or removing the battery pack, and when
installing or removing bits.
Starting + Stopping

4. To turn it OFF, release the trigger switch and allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop (Fig. 15).
NOTE: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
NOTE: Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the
drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
Speed Settings
1. Select low speed (1) for applications requiring higher
power and torque, such as driving screws and drilling in
metal (Fig. 16).
2. Select high speed (2) for fast drilling or driving
applications, for drilling in wood or masonry (Fig. 16).

mCAUTION! Never change speeds while the tool is
running. Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill.
NOTE: If you have diculty changing from one speed range to
the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears engage.
11
Drilling/Driving Screws
A level is located on the top of the motor housing to help keep
the drill bit level during use (Fig. 19).
Fig. 19
Level
1. Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
2. Select low speed (1) or high speed (2), depending on your
application. Refer to Speed Settings and Adjusting Torque.
3. Secure the workpiece in a vise or with clamps to keep it
from turning as the bit rotates.
4. Hold the drill rmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled, or where the screw is to be driven.
mWARNING! Do not drive a screw where there is likely to
be hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and possibly
shock the operator. If you must drive a screw where hidden
wire may be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to prevent a
shock to the operator.
5. Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
6. Move the bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting or driving the screw. Do
not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a
hole. Let the tool do the work.
mWARNING! When drilling, be prepared for binding at
bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has a
tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation
and could cause loss of control when breaking through
material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in
possible serious injury.
7. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch
to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the bit
from slipping o-center as the hole is started.
8. If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the
tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and
determine the reason for jamming.
NOTE: This drill has an electric brake. When the switch
trigger is released, the chuck stops turning. When the brake
is functioning properly, sparks will be visible through the vent
slots on the housing. This is normal and is the action of the
brake.
Wood + Metal Drilling
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood
or metal drilling. Select drilling mode. Begin drilling at a very
low speed to prevent the bit from slipping o the starting point.
Wood Drilling
1. Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
2. When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind
the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on
the back side of the hole.
Metal and Steel Drilling
1. Use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating.
The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the
drilling action.
2. Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting
without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure
will:
• Overheat the drill;
• Wear the bearings;
• Bend or burn bits; and
• Produce o-center or irregular-shaped holes.
3. When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then nish with a larger bit.
Cleaning + Maintenance
mWARNING! When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other part could create a hazard
or cause product damage.
mWARNING! To avoid accidents, always diconnect the
tool and/or charger from the power supply before cleaning.
Ventilation openings and trigger switch must be kept clean
and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting
pointed objects through opening.
mCAUTION! Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and can be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Storage
Store your drill/driver in the tool case and out of reach of
children or other untrained persons.
