WARNING!
Keep the area to be cleared free of stones,
toys or other foreign objects that the rotor blades 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 beginning work.
St Stopping
1. Open the battery compartment cover and slide each
battery down until it clicks to lock it into position (Fig. 14).
2.
While depressing the safety switch button, pull the
ON/OFF trigger toward you. Once the machine powers on,
release the safety switch button and begin operation
(Fig. 15). The machine can only be started by depressing
the safety switch button first, followed by squeezing
the ON/OFF trigger; reverse operation will not start the
machine.
3.
To power off, release your grip on the ON/OFF
trigger.
Operating Tips
m
WARNING!
Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by
the snow blower, causing serious personal injury. Remove all
foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating
the snow blower.
1.
Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that
can become thrown by the blades. Perform a thorough
inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden
from view by surrounding snow. If the snow blower hits
an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the snow
blower, remove the batteries, remove the
obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage. Repair or
replace any damaged part before restarting and operating
the unit.
2.
Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of
operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine
when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear
approaching people.
3. When moving the snow
blower, use the wheels on one
side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow blower on this
pivot point to move it forward or backward.
4.
Start your clearing path outward, throwing snow in a back
and forth motion. To clear in
the opposite direction, pivot
the snow blower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap
clearing paths.
5. Note
the wind direction. If possible, move in the same
direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown
against the wind (and thus back into your face and on the
just cleared path).
6. Do not push the snow
blower with excessive force. You
should push the machine gently and evenly in accordance
with the unit’s throw rate.
7. Do not apply additional man-made load to the motor since
this may cause motor damage.
