Securing the Extension Cord

1. Make a loop with the extension cord (Fig. 5)

                       

Fig.5

2. Insert the loop through the opening in the 

back of the upper handle and secure the 

loop onto the extension cord hook (Fig. 6).

3. Connect the extension cord to the snow shovel 

cord.

NOTE:

 Securing the extension cord in this 

way helps to prevent you from accidentally 

disconnecting the extension cord from the snow 

shovel during operation.

4.  Plug the extension cord into a wall outlet.

5.  Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, 

toys or other foreign objects that the rotating 

paddles might pick up and throw. Such items 

could be covered by snow and are easy to 

overlook, so be sure to conduct a thorough 

inspection of the area before operating the 

snow shovel. 

Starting and Stopping

1. To start the electric snow shovel, push 

and hold the safety lock button on the top 

of the handle grip with your thumb and 

then squeeze the trigger switch with your 

fingers. Once the machine powers on, you 

can release the safety lock button and 

proceed with operation (Fig. 7).

2. To stop the electric snow shovel, release the 

trigger switch (Fig. 7).

Operating Tips

•   Start the electric snow shovel and tilt it forward 

until the scraper blade at the base of the unit 

contacts the ground. Push the shovel forward 

at a comfortable rate, yet slow enough to clear 

the path completely. The clearing width of the 

snow shovel and the depth of snowfall should 

dictate your forward speed.

•   Direct the snow discharge to the right or to 

the left by holding the electric snow shovel at a 

slight angle.

•   To remove snow most efficiently, throw the 

snow downwind and slightly overlap each 

swath.

•   If you need to clear snow from a crushed rock 

or gravel surface, push down on the handle to 

clear the scraper of any loose material that the 

rotating paddles could throw.

•   This electric snow shovel cuts a path 12 in. 

(30.5 cm) wide and up to 6 in. (15.24 cm) deep 

in one pass.

•   When clearing deeper drifts, hold the electric 

snow shovel by the upper and lower handles 

and use a swinging or sweeping motion. 

Remove up to 6 in. (15.24 cm) of snow with 

each pass and repeat as many times as 

needed.

•   Keep the cord clear of obstructions, sharp 

objects and the rotating paddles. Do not pull 

sharply on the cord or abuse it in any manner. 

Frequently inspect the cord for signs of 

damage. If damage is found, replace the cord 

immediately.

•  This electric snow shovel is equipped with 

a 1 W LED light to faciliate clearing at night 

and under conditions of poor visibility 

(Fig. 8). When you start the machine, the 

LED light will automatically power on and 

illuminate the path in front of you. When 

you stop the machine, the LED light will 

automatically power off.

•   Disconnect the extension cord after using the 

electric snow shovel. Hang the extension cord 

with the shovel so it will not be misplaced or
