Electrical Safety
• Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H 07RN‐F) with a core cross‐profile section of at least:
- 1.5 mm2for cable lengths up to 25m
- 2.5 mm2for cable lengths over 25m
• Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the function of the
device is reduced.
• Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be made of rubber, nonrigid PVC or other thermoplastic material of same
mechanical stability or be covered with this material.
• The connector of the connection cable must be splash proof.
• When running the connection line observe that it does not interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection does not get
wet.
• Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
• Do not drive the device across the extension cable. Make sure that it is behind you in a secure position. Place the cable on a path or
area that has already been thatched.
• Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not use the cable
to pull the plug from the socket.
• Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid touching earthed parts with your body (e.g. pipes, heating apparatus, cookers, fridges
etc.).
• Do never connect a damaged cable to the mains. Do not touch a damaged cable before it is disconnected from the mains. A
damaged cable may cause contact with live parts.
• Do not use any defective connection cables.
• When working outdoors, only use extension cables especially approved and appropriately labeled for out-door use.
• Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
• Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
• Only hook up the machine by means of a fault‐current circuit breaker (30 mA).
• The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the machine must be carried out by a certified electrician or one of our
customer service points. Local regulations ‐especially regarding protective measures must be observed.
• Damaged mains must be replaced by the manufacturer or one of their service workshops or a similar qualified person to prevent
dangers.

3. REMOVING SNOW
• Before starting work, make sure that the area to be clear is free of stones, debris, wires and any other objects.
• Make sure all fasteners (screws, nuts, etc.) are always fully tightened so that you can work safely with the
appliance.
• Check the auger for wear and tear at regular intervals.
• Position discharge chute in safe direction and angle, away from operator and bystanders.
• Clearing snowfall often, before it gets too deep. Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow falls.
• Lift the auger off surface slightly before switch on.
• Switch on and tilt the appliance forward until the scraper blade contacts the ground. Push the appliance
forward at a comfortable rate of speed, yet slow enough to clear the path completely. The width and depth of
the snow determines your forward speed.
• Direct the snow to the right or to the left by holding the appliance at a slight angle. For the most efficient snow
removal, throw the snow downwind, and slightly overlap each swath.
• The appliance can remove snow up to 15 cm deep in one pass. When clearing deeper drifts, hold the
appliance by the upper and lower handles and use a swinging or sweeping motion. Shaving off the top layer
and making multiple passes (Fig. 7). For large areas, a definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly
clean an area of snow. These patterns will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places as well as eliminating a
second removal of snow. (Fig. 8) Pattern A: Throw the snow to the right or left side where it is possible, as on a
long driveway it is advantage to start in the middle. Plow from one end to the other, throwing snow to both sides.
Pattern B: If the snow can only be thrown to one side of the driveway or sidewalk (above), start on the opposite
side.
• Scraping the snow all the way down to the pavement will wear out the scraper and auger. To spare the
machinery, one or two inches of snow can be left behind, to be handled with de‐icing salt or a shovel.
• After clearing the snow, let the motor run for a few minutes so that the ice doesn’t freeze any moving parts.
Then switch off the motor, wait for all moving parts to stop, and wipe the ice and snow off the appliance.
Warning! To avoid serious personal injury, do not use hands or feet to unclog chute.
