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 puposes 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 and disconnect 

the battery before adjusting, inspecting, servicing, or cleaning 

the lawn mower, when changing accessories, or when 

any other dangerous conditions present themselves. All 

maintenace 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. Check the cutters and clear them if 

necessary. If the machine continues to vibrate, contact an

authorized Snow Joe

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

before using the unit. Shut off and disconnect the battery 

before touching any parts other than the handles and the 

switch.

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

the cutters until the battery has been disconnected from 

the mower and the cutters have reached a complete 

standstill.

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.
