Being careful prevents slipping or falling, especially when 
reversing.  
 

Safety operation instructions 

Do not put your hands and legs near the rotating parts. 
Keep a safe distance from the eject hole.  
Be extremely careful when running over or removing snow 
off brash entrances, footpaths and paths. Be prepared for 
unexpected risks or moving vehicles. 
When you hit a foreign item, switch the engine off, 
disconnect the cable from the spark plug and check 
thoroughly the snow blower for any damage and remove it 
if necessary – the snow blower can be put into operation 
again and worked with now.   
If the appliance starts abnormally vibrating, switch the 
engine off and search for the cause immediately. 
Generally, vibrations are a warning against operating 
failure.  
Switch the engine off every time you stop operating the 
appliance, clean the working screw/rotor can/eject tube 
and when executing repairs, adjusting and inspecting the 
appliance. 
When cleaning, repairing and checking the appliance, 
make sure that the working screw/rotor and all moving 
parts are stopped. Disconnect the spark plug cable and 
secure it in a way to ensure it cannot touch the connector 
and cause unwanted engine starting. 
Pull the cable out of electric motors. 
Do not remove snow across slopes. Be extremely careful 
when changing movement direction on slopes. Never try to 
remove snow on steep slopes. 
Never use the snow blower when guards, sheets and other 
protection components are not installed properly. 
Never use the snow blower near glass surfaces, cars, 
windows, pits, etc.; set the eject tube angle properly. 
Children and pets must be in a sufficient distance from the 
appliance. 
Do not overload the appliance; do not try to remove snow 
too quickly. 
Never use the appliance at a high travelling speed on a 
slippery surface. Be careful when reversing. 
Never aim the eject tube at bystanders. Do not allow 
anyone to stand before the appliance. 
Disconnect the working screw/rotor drive when the snow 
blower is to be transported or when not being used. 
Use only extensions and accessories approved by the 
snow blower manufacturer (e.g. wheel weights, 
counterweight, cabins, etc.). 
The snow blower must only be used when appropriate 
visibility or good lighting is provided. Stand fast on the 
ground and hold the handle tight by hands at all times. 
Walk, never run. 
Do not allow anybody to stand on the appliance. 
Use the snow blower only when appropriate visibility or 
good lighting is provided. 
Take all safety measures when leaving the appliance 
unattended. 
Stop the output shaft drive, lower the extensions, shift into 
neutral, apply the parking brake, switch off the engine and 
pull out the key. 
Caution! 
At less powerful networks there might be short voltage 
fluctuations when the appliance is switched on. This may 
influence the function of other appliances, e.g. there might 
be light intensity fluctuations. Where there is network 
impendance of Zmax < 0.997 

, these negative influences 

need not be expected (more information can be obtained 
from your local energy supplier if necessary).  
 

Use as designated 

 
The product you have bought (electric snow blower) has 
exclusively been designed for the following range of use: 
Proper removal of snow from private footpaths, entrances 
and parking places unless they fall within the general road 
traffic regulation (e.g. public footpaths or entrances; for 

that, permit specific for the given country needs to be 
requested from appropriate authorities if necessary).  
Only fresh snow is used as the processed material. 
 
Any other use is in conflict with the designation. The 
manufacturer is not liable for any indirect damages and 
injuries. Please be sure to know that our appliances have 
not been designed for industrial use.  
 

Installation 

 
Caution! The appliance needs to be switched off and 
unplugged before maintenance, cleaning and installation. 
The same must be done if the feeder cable is damaged, 
incised or entangled.  
 
Respect the system voltage: current source voltage must 
correspond to the details on the appliance type label. 
 
An extension cable with a too small wire cross section 
significantly reduces the appliance performance. For 
cables within a length of 25 m at least 3 x 1.5mm²; for 
cables of more than 25 m of length at least 2.5mm². 
Caution! Extension cables not approved must not be used. 
The extension cable, plug and clutch must be watertight 
and approved for outdoor use. 
 
Cable communications must be dry and must not lie on the 
ground. 
 
If a cable drum is used, it needs to be unwound. 
 
Some parts of the snow blower are not installed when 
being transported to the buyer.  
Screws, manual wheels, cable clips and screwdriver can 
be found in a separate plastic bag. Installation is simple if 
instructions below are followed. 
 
Eject tube 
 
Take the appliance and all components out of the box. 
Remove all the 4 screws on the front cover and the front 
part (pic. 2). Now insert the eject tube to the front hole of 
the cover. Then, using the 4 screws, mount the front part 
to the cover and tighten the screws in a way to make sure 
the eject tube is in a safe position that can be freely turned 
by 180°. Finally, using the 2 supplied wing screws, mount 
the upper return flap to the eject tube. 
 
Lower upper of the sliding post 
 
Pull the other end of the adjusting rodding (coming from 
the eject tube) on the lower part of the sliding post and 
then push the lower part of the sliding post down to both 
cover holes (pic. 3). Make sure that both supporting 
clamps clicked into the bottom end of the lower part of the 
sliding post on the cover.  
 
Upper part of the sliding post 
 
Bring the cable pull strain relief equipment for the 
extension cable to the upper part of the sliding post (pic. 
4). Make sure the cable pull strain relief equipment does 
not later get in contact with the 2-point safety switch to 
prevent undesirable blocking (pic. 11). Now connect both 
post halves and screw them to each other using the 
supplied screws with manual wheels. The adjusting 
rodding is used to change the eject tube direction. 
 
Mount the 2-point safety switch to the upper part of the 
sliding post, using two screws, to the appropriate hole 
unless the switch is already assembled to the upper part of 
the sliding post (pic. 6).
