Toro Power Shovel Snowthrower is an electric corded snowthrower that is designed to offer reasonably safe service for personal residential use. Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from the area of operation. The snowthrower is designed to be used on gravel or crushed rock surfaces, but it must be used in accordance with the operator's instructions. To prevent electric shock, use only an approved extension cord suitable for outdoor use in cold temperatures.
