Battery + Charger
Safety Instructions
NOTE: This unit is the tool only. The battery and the charger are
not included. They must be purchased separately.
Model 24V-X2-13SS-CT is compatible with the iON+ 24V System
batteries and chargers. See page 15 for more information.
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 confirm that incorrect use and poor care
of high-performance batteries are the main factors responsible
for personal and/or product damage.
mWARNING! Use only approved replacement
batteries; other batteries may damage the cordless snow shovel
and cause it to malfunction, which can lead to
serious personal injury.
mWARNING! Do not use a battery pack or appliance that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery
pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
Have your battery pack serviced by a qualified 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, charge the 24V
iON+ lithium-ion battery pack only in its designated 24V iON+
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 –
105°F (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.
• Charger 24VCHRG-DPC is rated for 120 volt AC only – The
charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
• 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 pack from unplugged charger.
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.
• 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
®
+ 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 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.
