• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.
• After striking a foreign object,turn the machine off and
remove the plug, and then inspect it for damage. Repair
any damage before restarting and using the machine.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
machine and check immediately for the cause.Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
• When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
• Never operate the machine without proper guards, and
other safety protective devices in place and working.
• Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where
property damage can occur. Keep children and others
away.
• Stop the machine whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing
or discharge guide, and when making any repairs,
adjustments, or inspections.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Use care when reversing.
• Disengage power to the collector/impeller when machine
is transported or not in use.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved by the
manufacturer of the machine (such as wheel weights,
counterweights, or cabs).
• Never operate the machine without good visibility or
light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handles.
• Store Idle Machine Indoors – When not in use, machine
should be stored indoors in dry, locked-up place – out of
reach of children.
• Maintain Machine With Care – Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
• Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
• Have servicing performed by a qualifie repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.
• Always refer to owner's guide instructions for important
details if the machine is to be stored for an extended
period.
• Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels, as
necessary.
• Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller

2.2 DOUBLE INSULATED SNOW
THROWER
• Double insulation eliminates the need for the usual three-
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system. Wherever there is electric current in the machine,
there are two complete sets of insulation to protect the
user. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components by protecting insulation.
Servicing a machine with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should only
be performed by a qualified service technician. If repairs are
required, call the service center. Always use original factory
replacement parts when servicing.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! To restrict the use of this
machine to people who have read and understand the
warnings and instructions that appear in this manual and on
the machine and who will follow them.

ELECTRICAL

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user
from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal
insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid
electrical shock.
Electrical connection
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal
household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on
direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a
loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
Extension cords
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a
power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the
capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the
minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round
jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL)
should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "W-A" or "W" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service
center.
