■ Never operate the product without proper guards, plates,
or other safety protective devices in place.
■ Never direct the discharge towards people or areas
where property damage can occur. Keep children and
pets away.
■ Do not overload the product capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
■ Never operate the product at high transport speeds
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
operating the product in reverse.
■ Disengage power to the collector or impeller when the
product is transported or not in use.
■ Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,
accessories, and attachments.
■ Never operate the product without good visibility or light.
Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on
the handles. Walk; never run.
■ Never place the product on any surface, except on
a hard and clean surface, when the motor is running.
Gravel, sand, and other debris can be picked up by
the air inlet and thrown at the operator or bystanders,
causing possible serious injuries.
■ Never operate the product near glass enclosures,
automobiles, windows, or doorways without proper
adjustment of the snow discharge angle.
■ If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact, or begins
to vibrate abnormally, immediately turn off the product
and inspect for damage or identify the cause of the
vibration. Any damage should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre.
■ Operate the product only in temperatures between 0°C
and 40°C.
■ Store the product in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
■ To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the product,
battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
■ Charge the battery pack in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 10°C and 38°C.
■ Store the battery pack in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 20°C.
■ Use the battery pack in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
OPERATION TIPS
■ The product does not operate if the upper handle is not
properly fitted and if the handle lock clip is not securely clipped.
There are 2 safety interlocks to help prevent accidental
starting when the product is not correctly assembled.
■ Take note of the direction of the wind before operating the
product. Discharge snow in the same direction as the wind
to prevent snow from being thrown back to the operator.
CLEARING A BLOCKAGE
Never put hands or feet into the front of the product or the
discharge chute to avoid serious injuries. Do not use hands
to clean the discharge chute.
1. Turn off the product, and remove the battery pack. Make
sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
2. Remove the blockage using a wooden pole. Beware,
the impeller may move by itself during blockage removal
due to stored energy in the mechanism.
3. Turn the impeller assembly using the wooden pole.
4. Once the impeller can be turned by the wooden pole,
move to the rear of the product. It is normal for the
impeller mechanism to have stepped movement. Make
sure that it is safe to continue snow clearing.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■ Turn off the product, remove the battery pack, and allow
the product to cool down before storing or transporting.
■ Always refer to the operator's manual for important details
if the product is to be stored for an extended period.
■ Remove all foreign materials from the product. Store the
product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area that is
inaccessible to children. Keep the product away from
corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and de-
icing salts. Do not store the product outdoors.
■ For transportation, secure the product against movement
or falling to prevent injury to persons or damage to the
product.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or
tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
MAINTENANCE
■ Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,
accessories, and attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor performance, and
may void your warranty.
■ Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge
and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. Have the product serviced by an authorised

proper tightness to ensure that the product is in safe working
condition. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
■ Bring the product to an authorised service centre to
replace damaged or unreadable labels.
■ Run the product a few times after throwing snow to
