Battery + Charger Safety Instructions
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.
WARNING
Use only approved replacement batteries; other batteries may damage the
cordless drill/driver and cause it to malfunction, which can lead to serious
personal injury.
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.

Information about the battery
-
The battery pack supplied with your cordless power tool is only partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged completely before you use the tool for the first time.
-
For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
-
Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 77°F (25°C) and charged to at least 40%.
-
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.
-
Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion.
-
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. -
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
-
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
-
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. (This advice is considered correct
for conventional NiMh, NiCd, lead acid and lithium-ion cell types. If this advice is incorrect for a cell design
that differs from these, then the correct advice may be substituted.) -
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 expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 266ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
-
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Information about the charger and the charging process
-
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.
-
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). -
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.
-
Keep the battery charger, battery pack(s) and the cordless tool out of the reach of children.
-
Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
-
Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
-
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.).
-
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.

LED Light
The cordless drill/driver is equipped with an LED light to provide additional
lighting for operation in low light conditions. The LED light will turn on
when the trigger switch is pressed .
Drilling/Driving Screws
A level is located on the top of the motor housing to help keep the drill
bit level during use .
-
Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct setting (forward or reverse).
-
Select low speed (1) or high speed (2), depending on your application. Refer to Speed Settings and Adjusting Torque.
-
Secure the workpiece in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the bit rotates.
-
Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled, or where the screw is to be driven.
WARNING
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and possibly shock the operator. If you must drive a screw where hidden wire may be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to prevent a shock to the operator. -
Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
-
Move the bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting or driving the screw. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.
WARNING
When drilling, be prepared for binding at bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury. -
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the bit from slipping off-center as the hole is started.
-
If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
NOTE:
This drill has an electric brake. When the switch trigger is released, the
chuck stops turning. When the brake is functioning properly, sparks will be
visible through the vent slots on the housing. This is normal and is the
action of the brake.
Wood + Metal Drilling
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood or metal drilling.
Select drilling mode. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit
from slipping off the starting point.
Wood Drilling
- Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
- When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole.
Metal and Steel Drilling
- Use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
- Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure will:
- Overheat the drill;
- Wear the bearings;
- Bend or burn bits; and
- Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
- When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit, then finish with a larger bit.
Cleaning + Maintenance
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other part
could create a hazard or cause product damage.
- To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool and/or charger from the power supply before cleaning.
Ventilation openings and trigger switch must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through opening.
CAUTION
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and can be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Storage
Store your drill/driver in the tool case and out of reach of children or other
untrained persons.
Battery Caution + Disposal
Disposal
Should your appliance need replacement after extended use, do not dispose of
it with the household refuse, but in an environmentally safe way.
- Waste produced by electrical machine items should not be handled like normal household rubbish. Please recycle where recycle facilities exist. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Always dispose of your battery pack according to federal, state, and local
regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for recycling locations.
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.
WARNING
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.
- Batteries vary according to device. Consult your manual for specific information.
- Install only new batteries of the same type in your product (where applicable).
- 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.
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc), or Rechargeable (Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, or Lithium-Ion) batteries.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The cell of the battery may explode.
- Batteries should be recycled or disposed of as per state and local guidelines.
Service + Support
- Drill/driver service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
- When servicing a drill/driver, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the cleaning and maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
