less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating this product. Do not use while
you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating this
product may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.

carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may aect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• Keep the sprayer and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when

sprayer, read the label on its original container thoroughly
and follow its directions. Some spray materials are
dangerous and should not be used in this sprayer, as they
can damage the sprayer and cause serious bodily injury or
property damage.
• Electric shock hazard. Never spray toward electrical outlets.

Battery + Charger
Safety Instructions
This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for your battery and charger.
1. Before using the charger, thoroughly read all instructions
and cautionary markings.
mWARNING! If the motor housing is cracked or damaged,
do not insert the charging adaptor into the power tool or plug
the power tool into the mains outlet. There is a danger of
electric shock or electrocution.
2. This charger is ONLY intended to charge this rechargeable
battery. Any other use poses a risk of re, electric shock
or electrocution.
3. Do not place any object on top of the charger or place
the charger on a soft surface that may result in excessive
internal heat. Keep the charger away from any heat
source.
4. To reduce the risk of damaging the electric plug and
cord, pull the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the
charger from the electric outlet.
5. Make sure the battery charging cable is located in a safe
place so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
6. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Using an improper extension cord poses a risk
of re, electric shock or electrocution.
7. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow or has become damaged in any way. Contact the
Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®customer service center
at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) before
continuing use.
8. Do not disassemble the charger. If the charger requires
service or repair, 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). Incorrect reassembly poses a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or re.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger
from the outlet before cleaning the unit.
10. Never attempt to connect two (2) chargers together.
11. DO NOT store or use the tool in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 104 ºF (40 ºC).
Dangerous storing locations include outdoor sheds or
metal buildings in the summer.
12. The charger is designed to operate on standard household
electrical power (100-240 V). Do not attempt to use it with
any other voltage!
NOTE: The integrated battery is not fully charged out of
the carton. Read the safety instructions and then follow
the charging notes and procedures.
13. The longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the integrated battery is charged when the air temperature
is between 64.4ºF – 75.2ºF (18ºC – 24ºC). Do not charge
the battery pack when the air temperature falls below
32ºF (0ºC) or above 104ºF (40ºC). Following these safety
measures will prevent damage to the battery pack.
14. Do not incinerate the integrated battery even if it is
seriously damaged or completely worn out. The battery
can explode in a re.
15. Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a
damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns. 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 aected 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.
16. Recharge only with the charger specied 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.
17. Do not use appliance that is damaged or modied.
Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
Protection from environmental inuences
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 and cordless tools only in dry
conditions and at an ambient temperature of 32ºF – 104°F
(0°C – 40°C). Do not expose a battery pack or appliance
to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 265ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the
temperature is liable to reach over 104ºF (40ºC). 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.
7. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry
locations with an ambient temperature of 32ºF – 104°F
(0°C – 40°C). Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a
cool, dry place at a temperature of 77°F (25°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%).

4
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.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic
protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic
charging and never touch the battery poles.
10. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specied range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use
and care.
