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 pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses conrm that incorrect use and poor
care of high-performance batteries are the main factors
responsible for personal and/or product damage.
mWARNING! Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Have your battery pack serviced by a qualied repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the battery pack is maintained.
mCAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, use only official
24V iON+ designated chargers and 24V iON+ battery packs.
The use of other batteries or chargers poses a risk of re,
personal injury or damage. Do not modify or attempt to
repair the tool or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care. Do not wire a battery pack to a
power supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Such misuse will
permanently disable or damage the battery pack.
mWARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock,
always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning
or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger.
Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock
hazards.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the
battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence
of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or
flammable materials) because sparks may be generated
when inserting or removing the battery pack, which could
lead to a fire.
• Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is 41°F
(5°C) to 105°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the battery outside
in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
• Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger,
pull the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to reduce
the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never
carry the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will
not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage
or stress when the charger is in use. Do not use the
charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a damaged
charger immediately.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary – Using the wrong, damaged or improperly
wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric
shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the
charger into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension
cord with the female plug matching the male plug on the
charger. Make sure that the extension cord is in good
electrical condition.
• Do not expose the tool or battery pack to fire –
Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F (130°C) may
cause the battery pack to explode, causing personal injury
or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
battery packs are ignited.
• Use only recommended attachments – Use of an
unapproved attachment may result in risk of fire, electric
shock or personal injury.

3
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack – Do not
use the battery pack or charger if they have sustained
a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been
damaged in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a
hammer, stepped on, etc.).
• Do not disassemble – Incorrect reassembly may pose
a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic
battery chemicals. If the battery or charger is damaged,
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) for assistance.
• Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a
damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth.
If damaged, battery chemicals will react violently with air.
Use rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of the
battery. If skin is exposed to battery chemicals, wash the
affected area with soap and water. If eyes are exposed
to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20
minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose
of contaminated clothing.
• Risk of short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if
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 paperclips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other
metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a
risk of fire and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry
place – Ideally, store the battery pack at 59°F (15°C) and
charged to at least 40%. Do not store the battery pack or
charger where temperatures may exceed 105ºF (40.5ºC),
such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle, or where
temperatures may drop below 41°F (5°C).
NOTE: Prevent the battery pack from freezing. Battery
packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60
minutes must be discarded.
• Charge before use – The battery pack supplied with your
tool is only partially charged. The battery pack has to be
fully charged before using the pruner for the first time.
• Battery Aging – Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a
natural aging process. A 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 tool, and therefore
pose a safety risk.
• Do not exhaustively discharge the battery pack –
A complete discharge will damage the battery cells. The
most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy
storage. Stop working as soon as the performance of a
battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. For optimum battery performance, charge the
battery pack frequently. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.
• Do not overload the battery pack – Protect the tool and
battery from overloading. Overloads will quickly result in
overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing
even if it is not apparent externally. For safety reasons,
the integrated protective cutoff will activate to switch off
the equipment. After regular use, allow the battery pack to
cool to room temperature before recharging it.
IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to turn on the tool if the
protective cutoff has been activated. This may damage
the battery pack.
• Outlet voltage – Please check the data marked on the
rating label of the battery charger. Be sure that the voltage
of the power supply matches that marked on the rating
label. Never connect it to a different mains voltage. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with grounded tools.
• Charger use – Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other types of battery packs or tools.
• Do not overcharge battery packs – Unplug the charger
when not in use. Frequently overcharging the battery pack
will result in cell damage. Do not leave batteries charging
for days on end.
• Battery pack abnormalities – Do not use batteries that
have suffered swelling or deformation or those that exhibit
other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
• Electrostatic discharge – When handling batteries, be
wary of electrostatic charge. Electrostatic discharges can
damage the electronic protection system and the battery
cells. To avoid electrostatic discharges, never touch the
battery terminals.

Instrucciones de seguridad
para la batería y el cargador
Prestamos mucha atención al diseño de cada batería para
garantizar la producción de baterías seguras y durables, con
alta densidad de energía. Las celdas de la batería tienen
varios dispositivos de seguridad. Cada celda individual es
inicialmente formateada y sus curvas eléctricas características
son registradas. Estos datos son luego usados exclusivamente
para ensamblar las mejores baterías posibles.
Independientemente de todas las precauciones de seguridad,
se debe tener mucho cuidado al manipular la batería. Las
siguientes instrucciones deben ser obedecidas en todo
momento para garantizar un uso seguro. Un uso seguro solo
puede ser garantizado si se usan celdas libres de daños. Una
manipulación incorrecta de la batería puede causar daños en
sus celdas.
¡IMPORTANTE! Los análisis han conrmado que el uso
incorrecto y el cuidado deciente de baterías de alto
rendimiento son las causas principales de lesiones personales
y/o daños al producto.
m¡ADVERTENCIA! No use una batería o herramienta
que hayan sido dañadas o modificadas. Las baterías dañadas
o modificadas pueden reaccionar impredeciblemente,
causando un incendio, explosión o lesiones personales.
Su batería deberá ser reparada por una persona calicada
usando únicamente partes de repuesto originales. Esto
mantendrá la seguridad de la batería.
m¡PRECAUCIÓN! Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones,
use solo cargadores originales iON+ de 24 V diseñados para
baterías iON+ de 24 V. El uso de otras baterías o cargadores
representa un riesgo de incendio, daños o lesiones personales.
No modifique ni intente reparar la herramienta o la batería, a
menos que lo haga según lo indicado en las instrucciones de
uso y cuidado. No conecte una batería a un tomacorriente
doméstico ni encendedor de cigarrillos de un vehículo. Dicho
uso indebido dañará o deshabilitará permanentemente la
batería.
m¡ADVERTENCIA! Para reducir el riesgo de un choque
eléctrico, desenchufe siempre el cargador antes de llevar a
cabo cualquier tarea de limpieza o mantenimiento. No permita
que entre agua dentro del cargador. Use un interruptor de
circuito por falla a tierra (GFCI) para reducir el riesgo de un
choque eléctrico.
• Evite entornos peligrosos: no cargue la batería bajo la
lluvia o nieve, ni en lugares húmedos o mojados. No use
la batería ni el cargador en atmósferas explosivas (gases,
polvo o materiales inflamables) ya que al insertar o retirar
la batería se pueden generar chispas que causen un
incendio.

19
• Cargue la batería en un área bien ventilada: no bloquee
los conductos de ventilación de la batería. Manténgalos
despejados para permitir una ventilación adecuada. No
permita que se fume o haya fuego abierto cerca de una
batería siendo cargada. Los gases presentes pueden
explotar.
NOTA:el rango seguro de temperaturas para la batería
es de 41°F (5°C) a 105°F (40°C). No cargue la batería
en exteriores a temperaturas congelantes. Cárguela a
temperatura ambiente en interiores.
• Cuide el cable de alimentación del cargador: al
desenchufar el cargador tire del enchufe, no del cable
de alimentación, para desconectarlo del tomacorriente
y así evitar daños al enchufe y cable. Nunca transporte
el cargador colgado de su cable, ni tire del cable para
desconectarlo del tomacorriente. Mantenga el cable
alejado del calor, grasas y bordes afilados. Asegúrese de
que el cable no sea pisado, que la gente no se tropiece
con éste, ni que esté sujeto a daños o tensiones mientras
el cargador esté siendo usado. No use el cargador con un
cable o enchufe dañado. Reemplace un cargador dañado
inmediatamente.
• No use un cable de extensión a menos que sea
absolutamente necesario: usar un cable de extensión
incorrecto, dañado, o conectado de forma inapropiada
puede causar un incendio o choque eléctrico. Si se
debe usar un cable de extensión, conecte el cargador a
un cable de extensión de calibre 16 (o más grueso) de
alambrado adecuado, con el enchufe macho del cargador
encajando perfectamente en el enchufe hembra del cable
de extensión. Verifique que el cable de extensión esté en
buenas condiciones.
• No exponga la herramienta o su batería al fuego: una
exposición al fuego o a temperaturas por encima de
los 265°F (130°C) puede hacer que la batería explote,
causando lesiones personales o daños. Las baterías
generan sustancias y humos tóxicos al ser quemadas.
• Use solo accesorios recomendados: el uso de un
accesorio no aprobado puede causar un incendio, choque
eléctrico o lesiones personales.
• No triture, deje caer ni dañe la batería: no use la batería
ni el cargador si han sido severamente golpeados, se
han dejado caer, se han aplastado, o han sido dañados
de cualquier forma como por ejemplo perforados con un
clavo, golpeados con un martillo, pisados, etc.
• No desarme la batería ni el cargador:un reensamblado
incorrecto puede presentar un riesgo severo de choque
eléctrico, fuego o exposición a químicos tóxicos de
la batería. Si la batería o el cargador están dañados,
contacte a un concesionario autorizado Snow Joe®+ Sun
Joe®o comuníquese con la central de servicio al cliente
Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®llamando al 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-
866-766-9563) para obtener ayuda.
• Los químicos de la batería causan quemaduras
severas:nunca deje que una batería dañada haga
contacto con la piel, ojos o boca. Si la batería está
dañada, sus sustancias químicas reaccionarán
violentamente con el aire. Use guantes de hule o
neopreno para deshacerse de la batería de forma segura.
Si la piel es expuesta a las sustancias químicas de la
batería, lave el área afectada con agua y jabón. Si los ojos
son expuestos a las sustancias químicas, inmediatamente
enjuáguelos con agua durante 20 minutos y busque
atención médica. Quítese y deshágase de las vestimentas
contaminadas.
• Riesgo de cortocircuito: una batería puede hacer
cortocircuito si un objeto metálico hace conexión entre
los contactos positivo y negativo de la batería. No
coloque una batería cerca de objetos que puedan causar
un cortocircuito tales como monedas, sujetapapeles,
tornillos, clavos, llaves u otros objetos metálicos. Una
batería cortocircuitada puede causar un incendio o
lesiones personales graves.
• Guarde su batería y cargador en un lugar fresco y
seco: idealmente, guarde la batería a 59°F (15°C) y
cargada por lo menos a un 40%. No guarde la batería ni el
cargador donde la temperatura pueda exceder los 105ºF
(40.5ºC), como bajo la luz directa del sol o dentro de un
vehículo, o donde la temperatura pueda caer por debajo
de los 41°F (5°C).
NOTA:evite que la batería se congele. Las baterías
almacenadas a temperaturas menores de 32°F (0°C) por
más de una hora deberán ser desechadas.
• Cargue antes del uso: la batería suministrada con su
herramienta está cargada solo de forma parcial. La batería
tiene que ser cargada por completo antes de usar la
podadora manual inalámbrica por primera vez.
• Desgaste de la batería: las baterías de iones de litio
están sujetas a un proceso natural de desgaste. Una
batería debe ser reemplazada a más tardar cuando
su capacidad caiga a un 80% de su capacidad inicial,
cuando estaba nueva. Las celdas debilitadas en una
batería gastada no son capaces de cumplir con los
requisitos de alta potencia necesarios para la operación
adecuada de su herramienta, y por tanto representan un
riesgo de seguridad.
• No descargue la batería de forma exhaustiva:una
descarga completa dañará las celdas de la batería.
La causa más común de descarga exhaustiva es
un almacenamiento prolongado. Deje de trabajar
tan pronto como el rendimiento de la batería caiga
considerablemente o se active el sistema de protección
electrónico. Para un rendimiento óptimo de la batería,
cárguela de forma frecuente. Almacene la batería
únicamente luego de haberla cargado por completo.

20
• No sobrecargue la batería: proteja la herramienta y la
batería contra las sobrecargas. Las sobrecargas causarán
rápidamente un sobrecalentamiento y daños a las celdas
dentro de la batería, incluso si por fuera estos daños
no son aparentes. Por motivos de seguridad, el sistema
interruptor de corte de protección se activará para
apagar el equipo. Después de un uso regular, permita
que la batería se enfríe a temperatura ambiente antes de
recargarla.
¡IMPORTANTE! No intente encender la herramienta si el
sistema interruptor de corte de protección se ha activado.
Esto puede dañar la batería.
• Voltaje de tomacorriente: verifique la información
indicada en la placa de especificaciones del cargador
de baterías. Asegúrese de que el voltaje de la fuente de
alimentación concuerde con el indicado en la placa de
especificaciones. Nunca conecte el cargador de baterías
a una fuente de alimentación con un voltaje distinto al
indicado. Nunca modifique el enchufe de ninguna manera.
No use ningún adaptador de enchufe con herramientas
que tengan conexión a tierra.
• Uso del cargador: no use el cargador de baterías
suministrado para cargar otros tipos de baterías o
herramientas.
• No cargue la batería en exceso:desconéctela del
cargador cuando éste no esté siendo usado. Una carga
excesiva y frecuente de la batería causará daños a sus
celdas. No deje la batería cargando por días enteros.
• Anormalidades de la batería: no use baterías que se
hayan deformado o hinchado, o aquellas que muestren
otros síntomas atípicos tales como liberación de gases,
zumbidos, grietas, etc.
• Descarga electrostática: al manipular una batería, tenga
cuidado con las descargas electrostáticas. Las descargas
electrostáticas pueden dañar el sistema electrónico
de protección y las celdas de la batería. Para evitar las
descargas electrostáticas, nunca toque los terminales de
la batería.
