• Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments. Avoid loose-fitting
clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on
slippery surfaces.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor is running (except when specifically
recommended by manufacturer).
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment
or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine.
OPERATION
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
battery pack, picking up or moving the product. Moving the product with your finger on the
switch or energizing tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharger opening at
all times.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel, driveways, sidewalks, or
roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the motor. Remove the battery pack(s), thoroughly inspect
the snow blower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the
snow blower.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• Stop the motor whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the auger
assembly housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs, adjustments or
inspections.
• When clearing, repairing or inspecting the snow blower, stop the motor and make certain the
auger assembly and all moving parts have stopped. Remove the battery pack(s) or safety key
to prevent someone from accidentally starting the motor.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
• Never operate the snow blower without proper guards and other safety protective devices in
place and working.
• Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage can occur. Keep
children and others away.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Disengage power to the auger assembly when snow blower is transported or not in use.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snow blower
remove text.
• Never operate the snow blower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing,
and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 212 °F (100°C) may cause explosion.
• Use only with the battery pack Y0L120BAT2.5 and charger Y0L120CGR.
CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
Hand contact with the rotating auger assembly inside the discharge chute is the most common
cause of injury associated with snow blowers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge
chute.
