CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of injury, charge the
iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery pack only in its designated
iON+ 24V lithium-ion charger. Other types of chargers present
risk of fire, personal injury and damage. 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.
• 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 – 105ºF (5°C – 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.
• Use only recommended attachments – Use of an
attachment not recommended or sold by the battery
charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in risk of
fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
m
WARNING!
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.
• Do not burn or incinerate battery packs – Battery packs
may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes
and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – 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 are damaged,
contact an authorized Snow Joe
call the Snow Joe + Sun Joe

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 a
damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or
neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin is exposed to
battery fluids, wash the affected area with soap and water and
rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals,
immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical
attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
• Do not short circuit – When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry place –
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 metal building during the summer.
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.
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 cordless drill/
driver, and therefore pose a safety risk.
4. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses
a risk of explosion.
5. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
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 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
suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the
waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
9. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating,
the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the
equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more
if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may
damage the battery pack.
