broken glass, nails, wire, or string, can be
picked up and thrown by the snowblower,
causing serious personal injury. Remove all
foreign objects from the area to be plowed

area since some objects may be hidden from
view by surrounding snow. If the snowblower
hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object
during use, stop the snowblower, remove the
