certain all nuts and bolts are tightened securely.
The double insulated system is intended to
protect the user from shock resulting from
a break in the product’s internal insulation.
Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid
electrical shock.

USING THE CORD RETAINER
This Snow Shovel is equipped with a cord
retainer in order to prevent the extension cord
from disconnecting from the power cord while the
Snow Shovel is in use.
NOTE: Do not plug the extension cord into the
outlet until it has been connected to the cord
retainer and plugged into the Snow Shovel.
To use the cord retainer:
Fold the extension cord to form a tight loop
near the retainer.
Push the loop through the bottom hole in the
retainer.
Slide the loop over the retaining clip, and pull
down until the cord is secured.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation means that exposed metal
parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double
insulated products do not need to be grounded.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double
insulation requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be performed only by
a qualified service technician. For service, we
suggest you return the product to your nearest

This product has a precision-built electric motor.
It should be connected to a power supply that is
220-240 volts, 50 Hz, AC only (normal household
current). Do not operate this product on direct
current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the
product does not operate when plugged into an
outlet, double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 4.
The cross-section of any extension cables used
must be proportional to their length, i.e. the
longer the extension cable, the greater the cross-
section; cables with a protection level of “IPX4”
must be used.
Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord.
