Safety Rules for Cordless
Drill/Driver
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring – Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
2. Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
asthespecicpotentialhazardsrelatedtothispower
tool – Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, re, or serious injury.
3. Make sure approved eye protection is being worn
and properly adjusted and secured at all times the
drill/driver is being used – There is a possibility that
small pieces of metal could shear o from over-tightened
screws while using the tool.
4. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty – Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
5. Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation – Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
6. Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories – Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, re, or serious personal injury.
7. Donotplacebatterytoolsortheirbatteriesnearreor
heat – This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
8. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow – A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
9. Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light – To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open ame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water
immediately.
10. Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location –
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

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 conrm 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 drill/driver and cause
it to malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.
mCAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, charge the
Sun Joe
®
24V lithium-ion battery pack only in its designated
Sun Joe
®
lithium-ion quick charger. Other types of chargers
present risk of re, 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 ammable
materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing the battery pack, which could lead to a re.
• 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 ames 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.
