• To remove snow most efficiently, throw the snow
downwind and slightly overlap each swath.
• If you need to clear snow from a crushed rock or gravel
surface, push down on the handle to keep the scraper
blade clear of any loose material that the rotor blades
could throw.
• This cordless snow shovel cuts a path 12 in. (30 cm) wide
and up to 6 in. (15 cm) deep in one pass.
• When clearing deeper drifts, hold the cordless snow
shovel by the upper and auxiliary handles and use a
swinging or sweeping motion. Remove up to 6 in. (15 cm)
of snow with each pass and repeat as many times as
needed.
• Remove the battery after using the cordless snow shovel.
Hang the shovel so it will not be misplaced or damaged.

the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger

• To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse
your battery pack or charger in liquid or allow any liquid to
flow inside these components.
• Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and
electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.
• Only use a dry cloth to clean the battery pack and
charger, keeping away from all electrical contacts. Certain
cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents
containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible
solvents around battery packs, battery chargers or tools.

Battery + Charger Off‑Season Storage
• Do not expose your battery pack or charger to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the charger and the battery pack. Do not use oil
or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery pack, as the
plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a
serious risk of injury.
• Store the battery pack and charger at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery
pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack
is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures
(over 120ºF/49ºC).
• IONMAX 24VBAT‑XR lithium‑ion battery packs maintain
their charge 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 off‑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.
m
CAUTION!
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 fire or explosion.
m
To reduce the risk of injury or explosion,
WARNING!
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.
• Batteries vary according to device. Consult your manual
for specific information.
• Install only new batteries of the same type in your product
(where applicable).
