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 packs 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.
Have your battery packs serviced by a qualied repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the battery packs is maintained.
mCAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, charge the 24V
iON+ lithium-ion battery packs only in its designated 24V iON+

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 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 with your cordless blower vac
are only partially charged. The battery packs have 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 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 the capacity falls to just 80% of their 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 blower vac, 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 packs or expose them 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 batteries falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers.
Place the battery packs in storage only after they have
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 packs suer 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 to the battery packs.
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
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 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 pack to cool to
room temperature before connecting it to 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 they have
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 packs (maximum
recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete
discharge of the battery packs will lead to premature aging
of the battery cells.

BLOWING MODE
• Hold the blower rmly with one hand on the rear handle
and the other hand on the front handle. Sweep from side
to side with the wheels on ground.
• Slowly advance the unit by the wheels, keeping the
accumulated pile of debris in front of you. Most dry
blowing operations are better suited to low speeds rather
than high speeds. High speed blowing is best for moving
heavier items like large debris or gravel.
• With a rm hold on the vac, tilt the tube 5 – 10 cm from
the ground and use a sweeping action to collect light
debris. The debris will ow into the bag. Items such as
small leaves and twigs will be mulched as they pass
through the fan housing. For longer bag life and increased
performance, empty the bag frequently.
mWARNING! Switch o the tool and remove the
batteries, and wait until the impeller comes to a standstill before
dumping the collection bag.
• Open the zipper of the collection bag and empty it
completely (Fig. 16).
12
Fig. 16
• Compost material does not belong with domestic waste.
• Regularly empty collection bag (the vacuum capacity
decreases considerably when the collection bag is full).
mWARNING! Do not vacuum solid objects such as
stones, broken glass, pieces of metal.
mWARNING! Do not vacuum liquids.
mWARNING! Do not vacuum large volumes of leaf
material at one time thus avoiding clogging of the vacuuming
opening and blocking of the mulcher impeller.
NOTE: The mulching intensity depends on the size of the leaf
material and its residual moisture.
Operating Tips
mWARNING! Use the blower + vacuum + mulcher only in
daylight or good articial light.
• When using the blower vac, plant your feet rmly on the
ground and place one hand on the rear handle and the
other hand on the front handle.
• Wear personal protective equipment during your work
session. This includes boots, safety glasses/goggles, ear
defenders, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
• When using the unit as vac/mulcher, make sure the bag is
properly installed and zipped closed.
• Make sure the blower tube is not directed at anybody or
any loose debris before starting the unit.
• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make
sure the tube (and/or bag) is in place and secure.
• Use the shoulder strap when using the unit as a
vac/mulcher.
• Use the supporting wheels to easily guide the tube along
the ground.
• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours—not
early in the morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
Typical recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm,
Monday through Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of
power equipment used at any one time and operate
power blowers at the lowest possible speed setting
necessary to do the job.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
