OPERATOR'S MANUAL
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
◾Lead from lead-based paints
◾Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
◾Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

CONNECTING THE SNOW SHOVEL ATTACHMENT TO THE POWER HEAD
WARNING: Never attach or adjust any attachment while the power head is
running or with the battery installed. Failure to stop the motor and remove the battery
may cause serious personal injury.
This snow shovel attachment is designed for use only with EGO Power Head PH1400/
PH1400-FC.
The snow shovel attachment connects to the power head by means of a coupler device.
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
2. Loosen the wing knob on the power-head coupler.
3. Remove the end cap on the snow shovel attachment and save it in a safe place
for later use. Align the arrow on the snow shovel shaft with the arrow on the
coupler (Fig. 2a) and push the snow shovel shaft into the coupler until you hear
a clear “CLICK” sound. The coupler should be positioned all the way to the RED
LINE labeled on the snow shovel shaft: the red line must be flush with the coupler
edge (Fig. 2b).
SNOW SHOVEL ATTACHMENT — SSA1200/SSA1200-FC 15
4. Pull the shaft of the snow shovel attachment to verify that it is securely locked
into the coupler. If not, rotate the snow shovel shaft from side to side in the
coupler until a clear “CLICK” sound indicates that it is engaged.
5. Tighten the wing knob securely.
WARNING: Be certain that the wing knob is fully tightened before operating
the equipment; check it periodically for tightness during use to avoid serious personal
injury.

APPLICATIONS
This snow shovel attachment is most ideal for clearing snow from sidewalks, steps,
decks, patios, and smaller driveways when snow depth is under 6 inches (15 cm).
USING THE SNOW SHOVEL ATTACHMENT WITH POWER HEAD
WARNING: Never use snow shovel attachment on frozen lakes, rivers or similar
surfaces. Death or serious injury could occur if the ice breaks.

attachment in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and
others.
When using the snow shovel attachment,
hold the tool with a firm grip with both
hands while in operation (Fig. 3).
◾Take notice of the direction of
the wind before beginning. When
possible, discharge snow in the
same direction as the wind to
prevent snow from being thrown
back into your face.
◾Some parts of the snow shovel
attachment can freeze under extreme weather conditions. Do not attempt to
operate the tool with frozen parts.
◾If the tool contacts with any type of obstruction during operation, stop it and
remove the battery pack. Check the tool carefully before using.
◾If the snow is too thick and deeper than the clearing depth, it may take more than
one pass to clear.
◾When finished, allow the tool to run for several minutes to allow all snow to clear
the auger before storing.
