Safety Instructions
All Operators Must Read These 

Instructions Before Use

Any electrical appliance can be dangerous if used incorrectly. 

Some of the safety precautions given in this manual apply 

generally to many appliances. Other warnings are specific 

to the use of this snow thrower. Keep this manual for future 

reference. 

General Safety WARNINGS!

You and any other operator of this snow thrower must read, 

understand and follow these instructions in their entirety, and 

should reread them at the start of each snow season. Failure 

to follow these instructions may result in ELECTRIC SHOCK, 

FIRE and/or serious PERSONAL INJURY.
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 work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark areas 

invite accidents.

2.  Do not operate the snow thrower in an explosive 

atmosphere, 

such as in the presence of flammable 

liquids, gases or dust. Electrical appliances create sparks 

that may ignite the dust or fumes. 

3.  Keep children, pets and bystanders away from the  

work area. Be aware that the normal noise of the 

machine when turned on may make it difficult for you to 

hear approaching people. Spectators should wear safety 

glasses and be kept a safe distance away from the work 

area. Do not let spectators touch the snow thrower or the 

extension cord.

4.  Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify 

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with 

grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching 

outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

5.  Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces 

(i.e. upper and lower water pipes, radiators, ranges, 

refrigerators, microwave ovens and outer frames of 

heating equipment). Take necessary precautions to avoid 

electric shock. There is an increased risk of electric shock 

if your body is earthed or grounded.

6.  Do not abuse the cord. Keep the cord away from heat, 

oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Never carry the snow 

thrower by its cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from 

the electrical outlet. Damaged or entangled cords increase 

the risk of electric shock. 

7.  Replace or properly repair damaged cords. If the cord 

becomes damaged in any manner while plugged into the 

wall receptacle, immediately pull the extension cord plug 

from the receptacle.

8.  Contact with water while operating the snow thrower 

can result in electric shock and serious bodily injury. 

Do not use the snow thrower in damp or wet locations or 

expose to rain. Do not handle the plug or the appliance 

with wet hands or while standing in water.

9. 

m

WARNING – Use outdoor extension cords marked 

SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A or 

SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor use and 

reduce the risk of electric shock. 

10. Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power 

cable before making any adjustments to the unit and 

before inspecting, servicing, changing accessories or 

cleaning the snow thrower. Follow the same procedure 

if any other dangerous conditions are present during 

operation. Any adjustments to the unit should be 

performed after revolving parts inside the snow thrower 

stop completely. Such preventative safety measures 

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

11. If you find the main power cable or the extension cable 

damaged, please pull out the plug from the socket and 

disconnect the power immediately. Repair the cable or 

replace it if necessary.

12. When replacing any parts, you must strictly observe 

the instructions and procedures described in this 

operator's manual. Special care should be paid to any 

rubber parts, since these parts may increase the engine 

load and decrease its mechanical power if damaged.

13. Do not move or transport the snow thrower when the 

plug is connected to the power socket and the switch 

is turned on.

14. If, during use, you notice that the unit runs unstably 

or hear abnormal sounds from the engine, stop the 

machine, disconnect the power immediately and 

contact an authorized Snow Joe
