Information about the batteries
1. The battery packs supplied with your cordless tiller +
cultivator 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 their 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 tiller + cultivator,
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 fall 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
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
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 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 dierent 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 qualied 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. Unmodied 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 packs to cool to room
temperature before inserting them 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 connection of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging
and cell damage. Do not leave batteries inside the charger
for days on end.
8. Never use or charge 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 packs (maximum
recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete
discharge of the battery packs will lead to premature aging
of the battery cells.
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

Charging the Batteries
1. Open the battery compartment cover to expose the
battery packs inside. Press the push lock buttons on the
batteries to pull the battery packs out of the equipment
(Fig. 1).
2. Check that the mains voltage is the same as that marked

charger's plug into the electrical wall outlet. When you
plug in the charger, two green lights will illuminate and
stay green (Fig. 2).
3. Place the battery packs into the charger by sliding the
packs to lock them into position. When you insert the
batteries into the charger, the two green lights will go
o, and the red lights will illuminate to indicate that the
batteries are charging (Fig. 3).
4. When the charger lights turn green, the batteries are fully
charged (Fig. 3).
NOTE: A fully discharged pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will fully charge in
55 min (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC).
5. If the light indicators do not come on at all, check that
the battery packs are fully seated into the bay. Remove
the battery packs and reinsert. If the problem persists,
contact an authorized Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®dealer or
