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 pruner,
and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw the battery pack 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 the battery 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 suered serious damage. In such instances, please
read the waste disposal information for proper battery
disposal.
10. If the battery pack suers overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cuto will switch o the

battery pack may create a risk of re when used with
another battery pack.
12. Use appliances only with specically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
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.
14. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modied. Damaged or modied 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 265ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
16. 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.
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 dierent mains voltage.

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 connecting with 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 the battery 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 suered 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
suered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suered 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.

Trimming Tips
The cordless pruner can be used to remove fresh blooms
from the garden; also great for pruning overgrowth, dead and
overlapping stems and twigs, as well as thin and weak growth.
Follow the tips below for operation.
1. Never cut too close to the bud, so the wound can heal
properly.
2. Always make the cut above 0.3 inch (8 mm) from the bud
(Fig. 19).
3. The cut should slope away from the bud, so the rain can
run o (Fig. 20).
4. When removing the entire stem, cut back to the point
where it branched (Fig. 21).
5. Cut branches one by one, as shown (Fig. 22).
Maintenance
mWARNING! Always switch the product o and remove
the battery before performing inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning work.
1. If the cordless pruner requires cleaning, do not use
solvents to clean it. Only use a moistened soft cloth.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; and never immerse
any part of the tool into any liquid.
2. Apply oil around the blade bolt and open and close the
blades about 10 times to work it in. Use the steel wool to
rub the oil over the cutting surfaces. Spray the tool with
alcohol and wipe with a paper towel.
3. Inspect the product before each use for worn and
damaged parts. Do not operate it if you nd broken and
worn parts.
Blade Maintenance
To ensure years of ecient and trouble-free operation,
blade cleaning should be performed if sap and debris have
built-up, or if you live in an area where the soil is sandy.
Cleaning unusually heavy deposits may require removal of the
blade.
NOTE: Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®will not be held responsible for
any damage or injuries caused by repair of the pruner by an
unauthorized person or by mishandling of the pruner.
1. Keep the cutting blades clean and free of debris.
Remove trimmings.
2. Keep the blades sharp. Have a worn or damaged cutting
device replaced with a new one of the same type by a
qualied specialist. Spare parts may be ordered online at
sunjoe.com or via phone by contacting the Snow Joe®+
Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563).

Blade Sharpening
mWARNING! Always take extra care, especially when
your hand may be facing the cutting edge.
Bypass pruners will generally only have one blade, the lower
part being the counter blade which should never require
sharpening.
The cut of a bypass tool is achieved by the blade precisely
passing by the counter blade. It therefore follows that you
should never sharpen the at side of the blade. If steel is
removed from here, the two parts will no longer meet precisely
and the tool will fail to cut. You must only sharpen on the
outside or bevelled side of the blade.
1. To sharpen your cordless pruner, hold the open pruner at
in one hand and with the other hand place the sharpener
at a 15 degree angle along the bevelled side of the blade
(Fig. 23).
NOTE: Be careful to not sharpen at too steep an angle as
this could damage the edge of the blade.
2. Move the sharpener in one direction only, with smooth
strokes from base to end 4 to 5 times.
mWARNING! Do not over-sharpen. Be sure to test blades
repeatedly throughout the sharpening process to prevent over-
sharpening.
3. Turn the pruner over so the at side of the blade is facing
up and slide the sharpener ush along the unbeveled edge
to remove burrs created by sharpening the cutting blade.
4. A bench vise can also be used to hold the tool during
sharpening, taking care not to over tighten the vise which
can bend the tool.
mWARNING! Minimize coating loss. Stay to the edge of
the blade when sharpening blades with low-friction or titanium
coating to minimize the loss of coating.
Blade Replacement
mWARNING! Use only recommended replacement blade.
NOTE: Cutting will become dicult if the blade edge becomes
dull, which requires a new blade to be assembled on.
mWARNING! Make sure that the pruner is o and always
wear protective gloves while changing the blade.
mWARNING! Risk of injury; keep hands away from the
switches when changing the blade.
1. Remove the blade cover by unscrewing the two screws
that x them in place (Fig. 24).
2. To remove the moving blade, use the equipped hexagon
wrench socket key to remove the blade nut which secures
the blade. Use the equipped lug wrench to remove the
blade wave washer, and then the blade bolt. The moving
blade and the blade gear should be able to come o the
assembly (Figs. 25 – 27).

3. Fit the new blade on the blade gear. Reassemble the blade
gear with the new blade, blade bolt and the blade wave
washer as the reverse order above (Fig. 27).
NOTE: When replace the blade gear, make sure the teeth
on the blade gear is t into the gearwheel inside the
housing.
4. Fix with the blade nut. Reattach the blade cover and the
two screws. Make sure they are tightened securely.
