result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before beginning snowthrower
Operation. We recommend standard safety glasses or Wide Vision Safety Mask for over spectacles.
SNOWTHROWER OPERATION
The most effective use of the snowthrower will be established
by experience, taking into consideration the terrain, wind
