IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

• Walk. Do not run.

• Verify that the power tool is not in contact with anything before turning it on.

• Stay away from impeller openings at all times. Keep face, hands, and feet away from

concealed, moving, or rotating parts.

• Be attentive when using the power tool, and stay alert for holes in the terrain and other

hidden hazards or trafc.

• Move up and down slopes when clearing snow. Do not go across a slope. Use caution

when changing direction. Do not use this power tool to clear snow from steep slopes.

• Do not operate the power tool if the guards, plates, and other safety protective devices

are not in place.

• Do not operate the power tool near glass enclosures, automobiles, trucks, window

wells, drop-offs, etc. without properly adjusting the angle of the snow discharge. Keep

children and pets away from the work area.

• Do not operate the power tool at high speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind when

backing up and exercise caution.

• Wear safety glasses or goggles that meet ANSI Z87.1 standards.

• Use the power tool in daylight or in good articial light. If using at night, turn on the LED

lights and be aware of your surroundings.

• To avoid accidental start-ups, remain in the starting position when turning the power

tool on. The operator and the power tool must be in a stable position during start-up. See the

section titled Starting/Stopping Instructions.

• Use this power tool only for the purposes it was designed.

• Hold the power tool with both hands while it is in use. Keep a rm grip on the handles.

• If the impeller does not rotate freely due to ice, thaw the power tool thoroughly before

attempting to use it.

• Keep the impeller clear of debris.

• Do not attempt to clear the impeller while the motor is running.

• After striking a foreign object, turn the power tool off and remove the battery pack, and

OPERATING TIPS

WARNING

If the Snow Thrower hits a foreign object while it is in use, the object could be thrown in the

direction of the operator or a bystander. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury.

Keep the area to be cleared free of all foreign objects that may be picked up and thrown by the

impeller.

• Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can become thrown by the impeller.

Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by

surrounding snow. lf the snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during

use, stop the snow thrower, remove the battery, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit

for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.

• Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the

normal noise of the machine when turned on may make it difcult for you to hear approaching

people.

• When moving the snow thrower, use the wheels on one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the

snow thrower on this pivot point to move it forward or backward.

• Start your clearing path outward, throwing snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the

opposite direction, pivot the snow thrower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap clearing paths.

• Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow

is not thrown against the wind (and thus back onto you and on the just cleared path).

• Do not push the snow thrower with excessive force. You should push the machine gently and

at a consistent speed in accordance with the unit's throw rate.

• Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not

attempt to operate the snow thrower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the snow

thrower is in use, stop the snow thrower, remove the battery, and inspect for frozen parts. Free

all parts before restarting or operating the snow thrower. Never force controls that are frozen.

• When working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces, avoid throwing loose surface material

along with the snow by pushing down on the handle to raise the scraper at the base of the unit

above the pebbles or gravel.

• Cold Weather Operation: Lithium Ion batteries can be safely used from temperatures ranging

from -17 degrees to 45 degrees Celsius. NOTE: Do not store or charge battery outside.

Battery must be charged and stored indoors prior to use of the snow thrower.

• If the Snow thrower does not start initially remove battery from snow thrower. Place battery on

charger and allow to charge for 10 minutes. Remove from charger and install in Snowthrower

for use. The start-up issue may be caused from the battery being too cold. To avoid this issue,

ensure battery is stored in a dry cool place for storage and charging and leave indoors until

ready for use.
