Information about the battery

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless fire starter 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 cordless fire starter, and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw the battery pack 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 the battery 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 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.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for safety reasons.
    
    Do not press the power supply button any more if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may damage the battery pack.
11. 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.
12. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
13. 
    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.
14. 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.
15. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.

Operation

Sun Joe cordless fire starter ignites charcoal with super heated air, then uses the built-in blower to fan the flames. This safe and eco-friendly starter can light charcoal, paper, and wood in 60 seconds (depending on the fuel type) without using any dangerous chemicals.

Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

Starting and Stopping

1. Insert the battery in the battery compartment. Push to make sure it is locked in place (Fig. 3).
   
2. Set up a pile of fuel you like – charcoal, twigs and sticks, wood chips, or logs. Make sure the mode switch is pushed forward and the fire starter is set in heat + blower mode, touch the fuel with the tip of the cordless fire starter nozzle and slide the power switch forward (Fig. 4).
   
3. Keep the cordless fire starter aimed towards the same spot. There should be a glowing spot in about 15 to 30 seconds.
4. When the fuel starts to burn, slide the mode switch back to the blower only mode, and pull the fire starter a few inches back. Giving it space will help the heated air to spread out (Fig. 5).
   NOTE: Get the grill ready to cook faster by continuing on blower only mode until the grill reaches the desired temperature.
   
5. When the grill is ready, slide back the power switch to turn off the fire starter. Remove the battery. Rest the fire starter on its stand to let it cool down completely.
   NOTE: When the machine is shut down the fan will continue to work for couple seconds to cool down the machine.

Mode Switch

The fire starter is equipped with 2 working modes:

• Heat + blower mode will heat the air and increase the temperature around the nozzle tip, therefore ignite the fuel.
• Blower only mode will increase the airflow and spread the heat after the fuel is ignited, to create strong flame.

Adjust the unit's mode with the mode switch next to the power switch. Slide it forward to set the fire starter to heat + blower mode. Slide it backward to set the fire starter to blower only mode.

Operating Tips

Do not operate near explosive or flammable materials unless extraordinary safety precautions are observed. The fire starter produces air at extremely high temperatures and if exposed to explosive or flammable materials, will result in flame or possible explosion, causing serious personal injury, death or property damage.
