IMPORTANT! The equipment and packaging material are
not toys. Do not let children play with plastic bags, foils
or small parts. These items can be swallowed and pose a
suocation risk!
Battery Pack Operation
The equipment is powered by 2 lithium-ion batteries.
The battery packs are completely sealed and maintenance
free.
mWARNING! The cordless snow blower can only be
powered by both of the batteries together. One battery cannot
provide sucient power to the tool. Make sure to use two
batteries of the same voltage and the same capacity. Using the
tool with batteries of dierent capacity will cause damage to
the batteries.
Battery Charge Level Indicator
The battery packs are equipped with a push button for
checking the charge level. Simply press the push button to
read o the battery charge level from the LEDs of the battery
indicator:
• All 3 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level
is high.
• 2 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level is
decreasing. Stop work as soon as possible.
• 1 level monitoring LED is lit: Battery is at. Stop work
IMMEDIATELY and charge the battery. Otherwise the
battery’s service life will be greatly shortened.
NOTE: If the charge level button does not appear to be
working, place the battery pack on the charger and charge as
needed.
NOTE: Immediately after using the battery packs, the charge
level button may display a lower charge than it will if checked
a few minutes later. The battery cells “recover” some of their
charge after resting.
Charger Operation
m
WARNING! Charge only 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery
packs with its compatible 24V iON+ lithium-ion charger. Other
types of batteries may cause personal injury and damage.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not allow water to ow
into the charger's AC/DC plug.
When to Charge the iON+ 24VBAT
Lithium-iON Batteries
NOTE: The iON+ 24VBAT lithium-ion battery packs do
not develop a "memory" when charged after only a partial
discharge. Therefore, it is not necessary to run down the
battery pack before inserting the charger plug.
• Use the battery indicator lights to determine when to charge
your iON+ 24VBAT lithium-ion battery packs.
• You can "top-o" your battery pack's charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
