Information about the battery
1. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
2. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at
77°F (25°C) and charged fully.

4
3. 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 snow shovel,
and therefore pose a safety risk.
4. Do not throw battery packs into an open re as this poses
a risk of explosion.
5. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to re.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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 pack.
10. 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 pack(s) 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 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 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.
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

during storage longer than other battery pack types.
As a general practice, it is best to unplug the battery
charger and remove the battery pack when they are not
in use. Recharge the battery pack every 6 months to 50%
capacity (2 lights on) during o-season storage to maintain
optimal battery performance.
Battery Caution + Disposal
Always dispose of your battery pack according to federal,
state, and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your
area for recycling locations.
mCAUTION! Even discharged battery packs contain
some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the
terminals to prevent the battery pack from shorting,
which could cause a re or explosion.
mWARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or explosion,
never burn or incinerate a battery pack even if it is damaged,
dead or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and
materials are emitted into the surrounding atmosphere.

Prestamos mucha atención al diseño de cada batería para
garantizar la producción de baterías seguras y durables,
con una alta densidad de energía. Las celdas de la batería
tienen varios dispositivos de seguridad. Cada celda individual
es inicialmente formateada y se registran sus curvas eléctricas
características. Estos datos son luego usados exclusivamente
para poder ensamblar las mejores baterías posibles.
Independientemente de todas las precauciones de seguridad,
se debe tener mucho cuidado al manipular las baterías.
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! Use solo baterías de repuesto
aprobadas. Otras baterías pueden dañar la pala quitanieve
inalámbrica y provocar un desperfecto que pueda causar
lesiones personales severas.
m¡ADVERTENCIA! No use una batería o artefacto que
hayan sido dañados o modicados. Las baterías dañadas o
modicadas pueden reaccionar impredeciblemente, causando
un incendio, explosión, o riesgo de lesiones.
No modique ni intente reparar el artefacto o la batería,
a menos que lo haga según lo indicado en las instrucciones de
uso y cuidado.
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,
cargue la batería de iones de litio iON+ de 24 V únicamente
con su cargador de batería de iones de litio iON+ de 24 V
designado. Otros tipos de cargadores presentan riesgos de
incendio, lesiones personales y daños. No conecte una batería
a un tomacorriente doméstico ni encendedor de cigarrillos
en su vehículo. Dicho uso indebido dañará o deshabilitará
permanentemente la batería.
• Evite entornos peligrosos: no cargue la batería bajo la
lluvia o nieve, ni en entornos húmedos o mojados. No use
la batería ni el cargador en atmósferas explosivas (gases,
polvo o materiales inamables), ya que se pueden generar
chispas al insertar o retirar la batería, provocando un
incendio.
• Cárguela en un área bien ventilada: no bloquee los
conductos de ventilación del cargador. Manténgalos
despejados para permitir una ventilación adecuada.
No permita que se fume o haya llamas abiertas 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 (40.5°C). No cargue la batería
en exteriores a temperaturas congelantes. Cárguela a
temperatura ambiente en interiores.
• Cuide el cable del cargador: al desenchufar el cargador
tire de su enchufe, no del cable, para desconectarlo del
tomacorriente y así evitar el riesgo de daños al enchufe
y cable de alimentación. Nunca transporte el cargador
colgado de su cable, ni tire del cable para desconectarlo
del receptáculo. Mantenga el cable alejado del calor,
grasas y bordes alados. 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 hembra encajando
perfectamente en el enchufe macho del cargador. Verique
que el cable de extensión esté en buenas condiciones.
• Compruebe la entrada nominal del cargador antes del
uso: el cargador debe estar enchufado a un tomacorriente
apropiado.
• Use solo accesorios recomendados: el uso de un
accesorio no recomendado ni vendido por el fabricante de
la batería o cargador de batería puede resultar en un riesgo
de un choque eléctrico, incendio o lesiones personales.
• Desenchufe el cargador cuando no esté siendo usado:
asegúrese de retirar las baterías de los cargadores
desenchufados.

20
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 el agua uya dentro del cargador. Use un interruptor de
circuito por falla a tierra (GFCI) para reducir el riesgo de un
choque eléctrico.
• No queme ni incinere baterías: las baterías pueden
explotar, causando lesiones personales o daños.
Las baterías generan sustancias y humos tóxicos al ser
quemadas.
• No triture, deje caer ni dañe las baterías: 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 los desarme:el re-ensamblado incorrecto puede
representar 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 llame
a la central de servicio al cliente Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®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 una batería dañada deja escapar
químicos, use guantes de hule o neopreno para deshacerse
de ella de forma segura. Si la piel es expuesta a los
uidos de la batería, lave el área afectada con jabón y
agua, y enjuague con vinagre. Si los ojos son expuestos
a los químicos, enjuáguelos inmediatamente con agua
durante 20 minutos y busque atención médica. Quítese y
deshágase de las vestimentas contaminadas.
• No provoque un 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 y otros objetos metálicos. Una batería
cortocircuitada representa un riesgo de incendio y lesiones
personales severas.
• Guarde su batería y cargador en un lugar fresco y seco:
no guarde la batería o cargador donde las temperaturas
puedan exceder los 105ºF (40.5ºC), como bajo la luz directa

Información sobre la batería
1. Para un óptimo rendimiento de la batería, evite ciclos de
descarga baja cargando frecuentemente la batería.
2. Guarde la batería en un lugar fresco, de preferencia a 77°F
(25°C) y cargada al menos a un 40%.
3. Las baterías de iones de litio están sujetas a un proceso
natural de desgaste. La 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 pala quitanieve, y por
tanto representan un riesgo de seguridad.
4. No arroje las baterías al fuego abierto ya que esto
representa un riesgo de explosión.
5. No incendie la batería ni la exponga al fuego.
6. No descargue las baterías de forma exhaustiva.
Una descarga exhaustiva dañará las celdas de la

es el almacenamiento prolongado o la falta de uso de
una batería parcialmente descargada. Deje de trabajar
tan pronto como el rendimiento de la batería caiga
considerablemente o se active el sistema de protección
electrónico. Almacene la batería únicamente luego de
haberla cargado por completo.
7. Proteja las baterías y la herramienta contra
sobrecargas. Las sobrecargas causarán rápidamente un
sobrecalentamiento y daños a las celdas de la batería,
incluso si este sobrecalentamiento no es aparente por
fuera.
8. Evite daños y golpes. Reemplace inmediatamente la
batería que se haya caído desde una altura de más de
un metro o que haya sido expuesta a golpes violentos,
incluso si la carcasa de la batería aparenta no tener
daños. Las celdas dentro de la batería pueden haber
sufrido daños severos. En dichos casos, lea la información
de eliminación para deshacerse apropiadamente de la
batería.
9. Si la batería sufre una sobrecarga y sobrecalentamiento,
el sistema interruptor de protección integrado apagará el
equipo por motivos de seguridad.
¡IMPORTANTE! No presione más el interruptor de
ENCENDIDO/APAGADO si el interruptor de protección se
ha activado. Esto puede dañar la batería.
10. Use únicamente baterías originales. El uso de otras
baterías representa un riesgo de incendio y puede resultar
en lesiones personales o una explosión.
Información sobre el cargador y el proceso
de carga
1. Verique los datos registrados en la placa de
