Operating Tips
WARNING
If the appliance hits an object while in operation, the
object could be thrown at you or bystanders. Thrown
objects could cause serious personal injury.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects which
may be picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
•
Check the condition of the appliance before operating it to
ensure that the rotor turns freely.
•
Always keep children and pets away from the area of
operation.

Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other
objects which the rotor blades can throw. Such items could
be covered by snowfall and go unnoticed. If the appliance
strikes an object during operation, stop the appliance, unplug
the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and check the
appliance for damage.

Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet and work
outward. Blow back and forth, not away from and toward the
outlet.

When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord and
turn the appliance.

Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow downwind
