Safety Instructions
All Operators Must Read These 

Instructions Before Use

Read all the instructions contained in this manual. Keep this 

manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at 

all times. If you give the equipment to another person, make 

sure to provide these operating instructions. Basic safety 

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of 

fire, electric shock and personal injury. 

General Safety Rules

Notice the personal safety alert symbol 

m

 used in this 

manual to draw your attention to a WARNING given along 

with the particular operating instruction. This means that 

the operation requires special ATTENTION, CAUTION and 

AWARENESS.

1.  Keep the work area clean and well-lit – Cluttered, dark 

areas invite accidents.

2.  Keep children, bystanders and pets away – Always 

keep children and spectators a safe distance away from 

the mower during operation and as the machine cools. 

Children must always be supervised to ensure that they 

do not play with the equipment.

3.  Dress properly – Always wear personal safety gear  

(i.e. safety glasses, rubber gloves, protective non-slip 

footwear and dust masks) and proper clothing when using 

the mower. Loose clothing, long hair or jewelry may get 

caught in the moving parts.

4.  Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower for 

any purposes other than those for which it is intended.

5.  Do not force the lawn mower – It will perform better with 

less likelihood of personal or mechanical injury if it is used 

at the rate for which it is designed.

6. 

m

CAUTION: Sharp blades! – Remove the battery before 

carrying out any repair work. The blades will continue to 

rotate after the motor is switched off.

7.  Stay alert – Always stay alert and watch what you are 

doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the lawn 

mower when you are tired or under the influence of 

alcohol or drugs. This lawn mower is not designed to be 

used by people (including children) with limited physical, 

sensory or mental capacities. It should also not be used 

by those lacking the proper experience and/or knowledge 

unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible 

for their safety or they have received instructions from 

such a person on how to safely use the mower.

8.  Store idle lawn mower indoors – When not in use, the 

lawn mower should be stored indoors in a dry, locked 

place out of the reach of children.

9.  Maintain the lawn mower with care – Keep cutting 

edges sharp and clean to maximize your mower's 

performance and ensure operator safety. Keep handles 

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

m

WARNING! 

Turn off the power switch, disconnect the 

battery and/or the power cord before adjusting, inspecting, 

servicing or cleaning the lawn mower, when changing 

accessories or when any other dangerous conditions present 

themselves. All maintenance tasks should be performed after 

revolving parts inside the lawn mower stop completely. Such 

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the 

power tool accidentally.

m

WARNING! 

If you notice that the lawn mower is 

not running properly or unusual vibrations occur from the 

engine when it is in use, immediately stop the machine and 

disconnect the battery and/or the power cord. Check the 

cutters and clear them if necessary. If the machine continues 

to vibrate, contact an authorized Snow Joe

service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

10. Moving parts present risks – Keep your face, hair, 

clothing, hands and feet away from all moving parts. All 

guards and safety attachments must be installed properly 

before using the unit. Shut off and disconnect the battery 

and/or the power cord before touching any parts other 

than the handles and the switch.

11. Cutting/dismemberment hazard of hand – Do not touch 

the blades until the battery and the power cord have been 

disconnected from the mower and the blades have come 

to a complete stop.

12. Avoid unintentional starting – Make sure the safety 

switch and the switch bar lever are in the OFF position 

before inserting the battery into the unit. Do not carry the 

lawn mower with the safety switch and the switch bar 

lever engaged.

13. Do not overreach – Maintain proper footing and balance 

at all times. Place heels firmly on the ground and tightly 

grasp the handle bar. Watch for uneven surfaces and do 

not overreach. In case you fall or collide with the lawn 

mower, inspect the unit for any damages or cracks. 

When stepping backwards, be careful to avoid obstacles 

beneath your feet or behind you to avoid falling.
