• Do not burn or incinerate battery pack – 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 pack – 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 fluid. 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 fluid, 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.
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 to at least 40%.
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 metal detector.
4. Do not completely discharge batteries. Exhaustive
discharges will damage the battery cells. The most
common cause of a complete discharge is lengthy storage
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.

5. Protect the battery pack 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.
6. 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.
7. If the battery pack suffers from overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off
the equipment for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the power supply button any
more if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may
damage the battery pack.
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 outlet matching voltage specified 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
®
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 appliance
out of the reach of children.
5. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature
before connecting with the charger to recharge.
6. 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.
7. Never use or charge the battery 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 damage (exhaustive discharge).
8. Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will
cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
