ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric snow blower which eliminates
the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Double insulated snow blowers do not need to be grounded.
WARNING! Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician.
For service, we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized service
centre for repair. Always use identical factory replacement parts when servicing.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a snow blower 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.
