11. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. For lengths less than 50 ft (15 m), a No.14 AWG
(or greater) extension cord should be used. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
12. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual
current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use
this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL-
listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,
all-weather use, such as the Snow Joe

Power Joe SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-foot extension cord with
lighted end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit snowjoe.com to
purchase this extension cord online or, to order by phone,
call 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the appliance plug does not fit
fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. The extension cord plug will fit into
the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug,
extension cord receptacle or extension cord plug in any
way.
14. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from
the extension cord during operation, make a knot with the
two cords as shown in Table 1.
15. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the blower vac by the
cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system, and should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “Double
Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol (square
within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
This electric blower vac is double-insulated, eliminating the
need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions before servicing
double-insulated appliances. Use this electric blower vac only
as described in this manual.

Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric blower vac to
make contact with water while it is in operation. If the
appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry
before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA- or ETL-rated extension cord
