Information about the battery
1. The battery packs (model iON100V-2.5AMP or iON100V-
5AMP) must be purchased separately for use with this
cordless jet blower 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 59°F
(15°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 its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in aged battery packs are no longer
capable of meeting the high power requirements needed
for the proper operation of your cordless jet 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 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 long-term 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 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 (sold separately). 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 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.

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.
