Safety Instructions

All Operators Must Read These Instructions Before Use

Any electrical appliance can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Some of the safety precautions given in this manual apply

generally to many appliances. Other warnings are specic

to the use of this snow thrower. Keep this manual for future reference.

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 m used in this 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. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark areas

invite accidents.

2. Do not operate the 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.

3. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the work area. Be aware that the normal noise of the

machine when turned on may make it dicult for you to

hear approaching people. Spectators should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance away from the work area. Do not let spectators touch the snow thrower or the extension cord.

4. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

grounded appliances. Unmodied plugs and matching

outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces

(i.e. upper and lower water pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators, microwave ovens, and outer frames of heating equipment). Take necessary precautions to avoid electric shock. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6. Do not abuse the cord. Keep the 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.

7. Replace or properly repair damaged cords. If the cord becomes damaged in any manner while plugged into the wall receptacle, immediately pull the extension cord plug from the receptacle.

8. 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.

9. mWARNING – Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor

use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

10.Turnothepowerswitchanddisconnectthepower

cable before making any adjustments to the unit and before inspecting, servicing, changing accessories, or cleaning the snow thrower. Follow the same procedure if any other dangerous conditions are present during operation. Any adjustments to the unit should be

performed after revolving parts inside the snow thrower stop completely. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

11.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.

12. When replacing any parts, you must strictly observe the instructions and procedures described in this operator's 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.

13. Do not move or transport the snow thrower when the plug is connected to the power socket and the switch is turned on.

14. If, during use, you notice that the unit runs unstably or hear abnormal sounds from the motor, stop the machine, disconnect the power immediately and contact an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® service center.

Electrical Safety

1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should

be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the snow thrower. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.

Before use, check that the extension cord is in good

condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. For lengths less than 50 ft (15 m), a No.14 AWG (or greater) extension cord should be used. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or ETL-rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use. The appliance plug will t into a polarized extension cord only one way.

If the appliance plug does not t fully into the extension

cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain

a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The

extension cord plug will t into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall

outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.

m WARNING m

Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Heed these warnings:

• Do not allow any part of the electric snow thrower to

make contact with water while it is in operation. If the

appliance becomes wet while turned o, wipe dry

before starting.

• Use only a UL-, CSA- or ETL-rated extension cord

for outdoor, all-weather use, such as the Snow Joe Sun Joe with lighted end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit snowjoe. com to purchase this extension cord online or, to order by phone, call 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

• Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).

• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands

or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots

oers some protection.

Wire Gauge (A.W.G.):

4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the extension cord during operation, use the on-board cord restraint hook and/or make a knot with the two cords as shown in Table 1.

Changing Throw Direction + Throw Height

Moving the Machine + Plowing the Snow

mWARNING! Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken

glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by the snow thrower, causing serious personal injury.

Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating the snow thrower.

1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can become thrown by the rotor blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop the snow thrower, disconnect the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.

2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine

when turned on may make it dicult for you to hear

approaching people.

3. When moving the snow thrower, use the wheels on one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow thrower on this pivot point to move it forward or backward.

4. Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet and work outward, throwing snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction, step over the cord and pivot the snow thrower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap clearing paths.

5. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown against the wind (and thus back into your face and onto the just cleared path).

mWARNING! Never direct the discharge chute at the

operator, at bystanders, at vehicles, or at nearby windows. The discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up by the snow thrower can cause serious damage and personal injury.

Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite direction from where you, bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or windows are located.

1. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180 degrees by rotating the chute crank. Rotate the chute control crank clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left (Fig.14) and counterclockwise to move the chute to the right (Fig.15).
