GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work areas and poor lighting
invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors a w ay while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as snow or ice. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet pr operly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly gr ounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces suc h as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Ne ver use the Power Cord to carry the tool
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the P ower Cord a w ay from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immedi-
ately. Damaged Pow er Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor e xtension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when oper-
ating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and glo ves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. A long-sleeved jacket and
jeans are recommended during use.

12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Trigger is off before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the Trigger, or plugging in power tools
with the Trigger on, invites accidents.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the po wer tool in unexpected
situations.
15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
16. Be sure you are standing firmly and in balance before operating this snow
Thrower. Wear proper shoes for what may be a slippery surface. Brace yourself
and grasp the snow Thrower with both hands before operating it.
17. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
18. Do not use the power tool if the Trigger does not turn it on or off. Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the Trigger is dangerous and must be replaced.
19. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
21. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools c lean and in good condition. Properly
maintained tools function better and are easier to control. Do not use a dam
aged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.
22. Check for misalignment or binding of mo ving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.

24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury .
25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions
