Electrical Safety

1. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the

voltage on the rating label.

2. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed

power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will

reduce the risk of an electric shock.

3. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.

4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If
water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of
an electric shock.

5. Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.

6. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power

tool when you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when
operating a power tool may result in serious personal

injury.

7. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using
safety equipment such as a dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is

needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

8. Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the o

position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools

with your nger on the switch or plugging in power tools

when the switch is in the on position makes accidents
more likely.

9. Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on

the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating

part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

10. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.

2

11. 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.

m WARNING m

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

• Do not allow any part of the electric blower vac 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
extension cord 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.):

12. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual
current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an
electric shock.

13. 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 ETL­listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,
all-weather use, such as the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe®
Power Joe SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-foot extension cord 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).

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

Double-Insulated Appliances

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double­insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge

of the system, and should be performed only by qualied

service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “Double
Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol (square
within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.

DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT

REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

This electric blower vac is double-insulated, eliminating the
need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions before servicing
double-insulated appliances. Use this electric blower vac only
as described in this manual.

VACUUM MODE

• With a rm hold on the vac, tilt the tubes 5 – 10 cm from

the ground and use a sweeping action to collect light

debris. The debris will ow into the bag. Items such as

small leaves and twigs will be mulched as they pass
through the fan housing. For longer bag life and increased
performance, empty the bag frequently.

BLOWING MODE

• Hold the blower rmly with one hand on the main handle

and the other hand on the front handle. Sweep from side
to side with the wheels on ground.

• Slowly advance the unit by the wheel, keeping the

accumulated pile of debris in front of you. Most dry
blowing operations are better suited to low speeds rather
than high speeds. High speed blowing is best for moving
heavier items like large debris or gravel.

Vacuum/Mulcher Mode

mWARNING! Any hard objects, such as stones, cans

and glass, will damage the impeller.

mWARNING! Do not use the unit to suck up water or

very wet debris.

mWARNING! Never operate the unit in vacuum/mulcher

mode without the collection bag being assembled on.

• Once you have blown the debris/leaves into a pile, you

can convert to vacuum mode to collect the debris.

• Ensure the collection bag are assembled correctly before

operating. Turn the blower/vac mode selector switch to
VACUUM MODE. Turn unit on (Fig. 16).

mWARNING! Switch o the tool and disconnect the plug,

and wait until the impeller comes to a standstill before dumping
the collection bag.

• Open the zipper of the collection bag and empty it
completely (Fig. 17).

Fig. 17

• Compost material does not belong with domestic waste.

• Regularly empty collection bag (the vacuum capacity

decreases considerably when the collection bag is full).

mWARNING! Do not vacuum solid objects such as

stones, broken glass, pieces of metal.

mWARNING! Do not vacuum liquids.

mWARNING! Do not vacuum large volumes of leaf

material at one time thus avoiding clogging of the vacuuming
opening and blocking of the mulcher impeller.

10

NOTE: The mulching intensity depends on the size of the leaf
material and its residual moisture.

Operating Tips

mWARNING! Use the blower/vacuum/mulcher only in

daylight or good articial light.

• When using the blower vac, plant your feet rmly on the

ground and place one hand on the unit handle and the
other hand on the front handle.

session. This includes boots, safety glasses/goggles, ear
defenders, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.

• When using the unit as mulcher, make sure the bag is

properly installed and zipped closed.

• Make sure the blower tube is not directed at anybody or

any loose debris before starting the unit.

• Verify that the unit is in good working condition. Make sure

the tube (and/or bag) is in place and secure.

• Use the shoulder strap when using the unit as a mulcher.

• Use the supporting wheels to easily guide the tube along

the ground.

• Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours—not

early in the morning or late at night when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
Typical recommendations are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm,
Monday through Saturday.

• To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of

power equipment used at any one time and operate power
blowers at the lowest possible speed setting necessary to

do the job.

• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

• In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces.
