General Safety WARNINGS!
You and any other operator of this snow thrower must read,
understand and follow these instructions in their entirety, and
should reread them at the start of each snow season. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in ELECTRIC SHOCK,
FIRE and/or serious PERSONAL INJURY.
Notice the personal safety alert symbol
manual to draw your attention to a WARNING given along
with the particular operating instruction. This means that
the operation requires special ATTENTION, CAUTION, and
AWARENESS.
1. Work Area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark
areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate snow thrower in an explosive
atmosphere, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Electrical appliances create
sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from
work area. Be aware that the normal noise of the
machine when turned on may make it difcult for
you to hear approaching people. Visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area. Do not let visitors contact snow
thrower or extension cord.
2. Electrical Safety
a. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded appliances. Unmodied plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as upper and lower water pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerators, microwave oven, and
outer frame of heating equipment, or in a place that
is locked. Be cautious to avoid electric shock. There

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c. Do not abuse the cord. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Never carry
the snow thrower by its cord or yank the cord to
disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
If cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in,
pull plug from wall receptacle.
d. Replace or properly repair damaged cords. If cord
is damaged in any manner while plugged in, pull the
extension cord plug from the wall receptacle.
e. Contact with water while operating the snow
thrower can result in electric shock and serious
bodily injury. Do not use the snow thrower in damp
or wet locations or expose to rain. Do not handle
the plug or the appliance with wet hands or while
standing in water.
f. Extension Cord – WARNING – Only use a UL rated
extension cord for OUTDOOR, all-weather use
(usually orange color). To prevent the extension
cord from disconnecting during operation, See page
7 Figure 12.
g. Turn off the power switch and disconnect the
power cable before making any adjustments,
inspecting, servicing, changing accessories, or
cleaning the snow thrower as well as any other
conditions in which dangerous factors exist. Any
such operation should be performed after revolving
parts inside the snow thrower stop completely.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
h. If you nd the main power cable or the extension
cable damaged, please pull out the plug from the
socket and disconnect the power immediately.
Repair the cable or replace it if necessary.
i. When replacing any parts, you must strictly
observe the instructions and procedures
described in this User Manual. Special care
should be paid to any rubber parts, since these
parts may increase the engine load and decrease its
mechanical power if damaged.
j. Do not move or transport the snow thrower when
the plug is connected to the power socket and
the switch is turned on.
k. When using the snow thrower, if you notice it is
running in an unstable state or hear abnormal
sounds from the engine, please stop the machine
