This electric snow shovel can amputate hands and
feet if used incorrectly. It can also pick up foreign
objects, which can become dangerous projectiles
when thrown into the air. Failure to observe the
following safety instructions could result in serious
personal injury.
Training
• Read, understand and follow all instructions on the machine
and in the manual before operating this unit.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit
and disengage the controls quickly.
• Children should never be allowed access to the equipment.
Adults should never operate the equipment without
carefully reading and understanding these instructions.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets.
• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
Preparation
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires and
other foreign objects.
• Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate
winter garments. Avoid loose fitting articles of clothing that
can become caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will
improve footing on slippery surfaces.
• Do not attempt to clear snow from a gravel or crushed rock
surface. This product is intended for use only on paved
surfaces.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor
is running (except when specifically recommended by the
manufacturer).
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation
or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect your
eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the
machine.
Operation
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards
or traffic.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the motor.
Thoroughly inspect the electric snow shovel for any
damage, and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the electric snow shovel.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor
and check the unit immediately to ascertain the cause.
Vibration is generally a sign of trouble.
• Stop the motor and disconnect the electric snow shovel
from the power supply whenever you leave the operating
position, when transporting the unit, before unclogging
the rotor blade housing and when making any repairs,
adjustments or inspections to the unit.
• When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the electric snow
shovel, make sure that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop before beginning work.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
• Never operate the electric snow shovel without proper
guards and other safety devices in place and in proper
working order.
• Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where
property damage can occur. Keep children, pets and other
bystanders away from the work area.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Look behind and use care when backing up with the
electric snow shovel.
• Never operate the electric snow shovel without good
visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep
a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run, with the unit.
Clearing a Clogged Rotor Housing
Hand contact with the rotating rotor blades inside the rotor
housing is the most common cause of injury associated
with electric snow shovels. Never use your hands to clear a
clogged rotor housing.
To clear the rotor housing:
• Shut the motor off and disconnect the unit from the power
supply.
• Wait 10 seconds to be sure the rotor blades have come to a
complete stop.
• Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands, to free the
rotating blades.
Maintenance and Storage
• Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness
to ensure that the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Always refer to the operator's manual for important details,
such as how to properly store your electric snow shovel for
an extended period of time.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as needed.
• Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent the rotor blades from freezing.
Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be performed only by qualified service
personnel at an authorized Snow Joe

dealer.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be
identical to the parts they replace.
