WARNING:

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below and on the

machine may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious

personal injury.

Know your snow blower. Read operator’s manual care-

fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the

specific potential hazards related to this snow blower.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious injury.

Do not permit children to use snow blower. It is not a

toy.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the

manufacturer for your model described in this manual.

Accessories that may be suitable for one snow blower

may create a risk of injury when used on another snow

blower. Use only as described in this manual.

 Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any

opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything

that may reduce air flow.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body

away from openings and moving parts.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will

require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug

will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the

plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the

plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized

extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require

the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the

polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit

fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still

does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the

proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug,

extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any

way.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy

enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire

gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an

extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use

the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,

the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop

in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

 WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A,

SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-

A. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the

risk of electric shock.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should

be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the

product. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI

protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

This product is designed with a cord retainer that prevents

the extension cord from being pulled loose while using.

If cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, pull

extension cord from wall receptacle.

Don’t Abuse Cord — Never carry snow blower by cord

or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from

heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Keep hands away from moving parts.

 Avoid Unintentional Starting – Do not carry plugged in

appliance with finger on trigger. Be sure the switch trigger

is not engaged before plugging in.

Do not use tool if switch trigger does not turn it on or off.

Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch trigger

is dangerous and must be repaired.

Do not operate snow blowers in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or

dust. Snow blowers create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at least 100 ft.

away while operating a snow blower. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

 If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped,

damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it

to a service center.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power snow blower. Do not use

snow blower while tired, upset, or under the influence

of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inatten-

tion while operating snow blowers may result in serious

personal injury.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-

tion must be used for appropriate conditions.

Dress properly — Do not wear loose clothing, scarves,

or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, and any other condition that may af-

fect the snow blower’s operation. If damaged, have the

snow blower serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained snow blowers.

Keep the snow blower and its handle dry, clean and free

from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean-

ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based

products, or any strong solvents to clean your snow

blower. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of

control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday

glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT

safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

eye injury.

ELECTRICAL

EXTENSION CORDS

See Figure 1.

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from

a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has

the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An

undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in

overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine

the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only

round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories

(UL) should be used.

When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord

that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is desig-

nated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or

exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a

knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during

use. Make the knot as shown in figure 1, then connect the

plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the

extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two

extension cords together.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.

Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,

tools, or other obstructions while you are working with

a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious per-

sonal injury.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged

replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord

since touching the damaged area could cause electrical

shock resulting in serious injury.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power

tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-

wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are

isolated from the internal metal motor components with

protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need

to be grounded.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect

the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s

internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions

to avoid electrical shock.

NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires

extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be

performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,

we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized

service center for repair. Always use original factory replace-

ment parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be

connected to a power supply that is nominal 120V/60Hz

AC (typical U.S. household circuit). Do not operate this

tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will

cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your

tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-

check the power supply.

GFCI

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should

be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the

snow shovel. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI

protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
