particularly small children, and pets.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all stones, sticks,
wires, bones, and other foreign objects.
• Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
• Read the operating and service instruction manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before disconnecting it from
the power supply, packing up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on
the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the power supply before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• 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.
• 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.
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 off, wipe dry before starting.
• 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 offers some protection.
Extension Cord Length
Wire Gauge (A.W.G.):
• 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 ETLrated extension cord for
outdoor, all-weather use. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way.
If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of
a polarized wall outlet. The extension cord plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension
cord receptacle or extension cord plug in any way.
