Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless trimmer +
edger is only partially charged. The battery pack has to
be charged completely before you use the tool for the
first time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack 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 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 trimmer + edger, and therefore
pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a
risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
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 battery falls noticeably or
the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery
pack in storage only after it has 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
suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the
waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
10. 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.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries
poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.
Information about the charger and the charg-
ing 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 different 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
qualified 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. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack 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
suffered 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 fire.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during
the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered
dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suffered 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.
5

Proper Care for Battery + Charger
mWARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger
before performing any maintenance task. Never disassemble the
battery pack or charger. Contact your Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
dealer or the Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
customer service center for
ALL repairs.
1. 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.
2. Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and electrical
contacts by blowing with compressed air.
3. Use only a soft, clean and dry brush 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.

serviceable parts.

Follow these recommendations for storing the
grass trimmer + edger.
• Clean the grass trimmer + edger thoroughly before storing.
• Store the trimmer + edger in a stable and safe location out
of the reach of children. Keep the trimmer + edger in a dry
place where the temperature is not too hot or too cold.
• Do not store the grass trimmer + edger resting against the

not touch anything. If the guard rests against a surface,
its shape and dimensions could be permanently altered, and
could render the machine unsafe to use.

Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
1. 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.
2. 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
120°F/49°C).
3. IONMAX 24VBAT-LTE 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.
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 fire 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.
1. Batteries vary according to device. Consult your manual for
specific information.
2. Install only new batteries of the same type in your product
(where applicable).
3. Failure to insert batteries in the correct polarity, as
indicated in the battery compartment or manual, may
shorten the life of the batteries or cause batteries to leak.
4. Do not mix old and new batteries.
5. Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc) or
Rechargeable (Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride,
or Lithium-Ion) batteries.
