Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
Keep guards in place and in working order.
Don’t force snow shovel -It will perform better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not overreach -Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
If the snow shovel strikes a foreign object, follow these steps:
Stop the snow shovel.

Extension cord
WARNING: This tool is intended for outdoor, residential use only. Do not use it indoor or for
commercial or industrial purposes.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum gauge for Extension Cords (AWG)
(When using 120V only)
The snow shovel has a polarized male plug, with one prong in the switch housing socket
slightly longer and wider than the other. The extension cord female end should be likewise
polarized, so that the extension cord fits snugly into the switch housing socket.

UNPACKING
WARNING - To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious
personal injury; assemble all parts to your saw before connecting it to power supply.
Snow shovel should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling
parts, making adjustments, installing or removing blades, or when not in use.
WARNING - If any parts are missing, do not operate this tool until the missing parts
are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
Do not discard the packing materials until you have carefully inspected the saw, identified all
parts, and satisfactorily operated your new snow shovel.
NOTE: if any parts are damaged or missing, do not attempt to plug in the power cord and turn
the switch on until the damaged or missing parts are obtained and are installed correctly.

OPERATION
Note: This Snow Shovel is intended for outdoor, residential use only. Do not use it indoors or
for commercial or industrial purposes.
Safety precautions
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats,
sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
2. Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments. Avoid loose
fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve
footing on slippery surfaces.
3. Do not attempt to clear snow from a gravel or crushed rock surface. This product is
intended for use only on paved surfaces.
4. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor is running (except when
specifically recommended by manufacturer).
5. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an
adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the
machine.
6. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at
all times.
7. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
8. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, thoroughly inspect the snow shovel for any
damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snow shovel.
9. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
10. Stop the motor whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the rotor
blade housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs, adjustments or inspections.
11. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the snow shovel, stop the motor and make certain
that the rotor blades and all moving parts have stopped.
12. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
9
13. Never operate the snow shovel without proper guards and other safety protective devices in
place and working.
14. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage can occur. Keep
children and others away.
15. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
16. Look behind and use care when backing up with the snow shovel.
17. Disengage power to the rotor blades when snow shovel is transported or not in use.
18. Never operate the snow shovel without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your
footing, and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
Connecting to a power source
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (i.e., one blade is wider
than the other). Use only a polarized plug, UL-listed (CSA certified in Canada) extension cord
recommended for outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit in a polarized cord only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the cord, reverse the cord. If it still does not fit, purchase a polarized
extension cord. If you have a polarized extension cord and the extension cord plug does not fit
fully into the wall receptacle, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the appliance or extension cord plug in
any way. Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor use.
WARNING—Contact with water while operating the product could cause
electric shock, causing injury or death.
Don’t handle the plug or the appliance with wet hands or while standing in water.
Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor cold-weather use.
Note: Do not use an extension cord over 150 feet.
Note: Check the extension cord frequently during use for holes or cracks in the insulation. Do
not use a damaged cord. Do not run the cord through standing water or wet grass.
1. Make a loop in the extension cord.
10
2. Insert the loop through the hole in the back of the upper handle, securing the loop around
the hook.
Note: This helps to prevent you from accidently disconnecting the extension cord from the
appliance during operation.
3. Connect the extension cord to the appliance electrical cord.
4. Plug the extension cord into a wall outlet.
5. Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other foreign objects which the rotor
blades may pick up and throw. Such items could be covered by snowfall and remain
unnoticed.
Starting and stopping
To start the Snow Shovel, push the button on the side of the handle grip and squeeze the trigger.
To stop the product, release the trigger.
11
Operating Tips
Start the Snow Shovel and tilt it forward until the scraper blade contacts the ground. Push
the Snow Shovel forward at a comfortable rate of speed, slow enough to clear the path
completely. The width and depth of the snow determines your forward speed.
Direct the snow to the right or to the left by holding the Snow Shovel at a slight angle.
For the most efficient snow removal, throw the snow downwind.
If you need to clear snow from crushed rock or gravel, push down on the handle to raise the
scraper clear of loose material that the rotor blades could throw.
The Snow Shovel can remove snow up to 6 in. (15 cm) deep in one pass. When clearing
deeper drifts, hold the Snow Shovel by the upper and lower handles and use a swinging or
sweeping motion. Remove a maximum of 6 inches (15 cm) with each pass and repeat as
many times as required.
Keep the cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects, and rotor. Do not pull sharply on the cord
or abuse it in any manner. Frequently inspect the cord for damage. If it is damaged, replace
the cord.
Disconnect the extension cord after using the Snow Shovel. Hang the extension cord with
the Snow Shovel so it will not be misplaced or damaged.
LUBRICATING THE SNOW SHOVEL
The Snow Shovel does not need lubrication; all bearings are lubricated at the factory for the life
of the product. SNOW BLASTER has designed this product to give you years of trouble free
use.
Preparing the Snow Shovel for Storage
Examine the Snow Shovel thoroughly for worn, loose, or damaged parts.
Examine the extension cord thoroughly for signs of excess wear or damage. If it is worn or
damaged, replace it.
Disconnect the extension cord from the Snow Shovel before storing.
Store the Snow Shovel in a clean, dry, locked-up place out of the reach of children and cover it
to provide protection.
Store the product and extension cord indoors, in a cool dry location, out of reach of children
and animals.
