IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER This snow blower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing
objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in
serious injury.
WARNING When using electric appliance, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury.
These basic precautions include the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT!
FOR ALL SNOW BLOWERS
• Do not use on graveled surface.
• Keep Children Away – All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
• Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts.
• Wear rubber boots when operating the snow blower.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.

• Don’t Force Snow Blower – It will perform better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• If the snow blower strikes a foreign object follow these steps:
1. Stop snow blower. Release the switch.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Inspect the snow blower for damage.
4. Repair any damage before restarting and operating the snow blower.
• Store idle snow blowers indoors - When not in use, snow blowers should be stored indoors
in dry, locked-up place and out of reach of children.
• Maintain snow blowers with care – Follow all instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
TRAINING
• Read, understand and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s) before
operating this unit. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the
equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
• Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment
without proper instruction.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children.
• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating the snow blower in
reverse.
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-tting
clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on
slippery surfaces.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor is running (except when specically
recommended by manufacturer).
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an
adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the
machine.

4
OPERATION
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharger opening
at all times.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or trafc.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, remove the battery pack, thoroughly inspect
the snow blower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the
snow blower.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• Stop the motor whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the auger
assembly housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs, adjustments or
inspections.
• When clearing, repairing or inspecting the snow blower, stop the motor and make certain
the auger assembly and all moving parts have stopped. Remove the battery pack to prevent
someone from accidentally starting the motor.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
• Never operate the snow blower without proper guards and other safety protective devices in
place and working.
• Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage can occur. Keep
children and others 100 ft (30 m) away.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and
use care when operating in reverse.
• Disengage power to the auger assembly when snow blower is transported or not in use.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snow blower
(such as rubber paddles and scraper bar).
• Never operate the snow blower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing,
and keep a rm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
• Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode in
a re.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re
or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your nger on
the switch or energizing appliances that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
• Use appliances only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

5
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re explosion or risk of injury.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of
the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
• Have servicing performed by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack (as applicable) except
as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
CLEARING A CLOGGING DISCHARGE CHUTE
• Hand contact with the rotating auger assembly inside the discharge chute is the most
common cause of injury associated with snow blowers. Never use your hand to clean out
the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
SHUT THE MOTOR OFF!
• Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger assembly blades have stopped rotating.
• Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Check all bolts or fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Always refer to owner’s manual for important details if the snow blower is to be stored for an
extended period.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
• Run the machine a few minutes after blowing snow to prevent freeze-up of the auger
assembly.

Operating Tips
DANGER Never use a snow blower on frozen lakes, rivers, or similar surfaces.
Death or serious injury could occur if the ice breaks.
DANGER Never use the snow blower on a rooftop or other unstable surface,
which can result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING Do not use snow blower on ice, which can cause the operator to slip
and fall, resulting in possibly serious personal injury.
WARNING Do not wear loose clothing, scarves, or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts and cause death or serious personal injury.
WARNING Keep all snow discharge pointed away from all electrical devices to
reduce the risk of electrocution or electric shock.
WARNING Never point the snow blower or discharge chute in the direction of people
or pets. Thrown snow or other objects can cause serious personal injuries.
WARNING Make sure that the area to be cleared is free of stones, sticks, wires,
gravel, and other objects that could be accidentally thrown by the
snow blower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and
others.
WARNING Never reach into the discharge chute or place any body part in front
of the snow blower when the unit is operating or when the battery
pack is installed. Always ensure all moving parts have stopped and the battery pack
has been removed before clearing any obstructions. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in serious personal injury.
• If the snow blower comes in contact with any type of obstruction or debris during use, stop
the snow blower, remove the battery pack, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit
carefully for damage before proceeding.
• Take notice of the direction of the wind before beginning. When possible, discharge snow in
the same direction as the wind to prevent snow from being thrown back into your face.
• Some parts of the snow blower can freeze under extreme weather conditions. Do not
attempt to operate the unit with frozen parts.
• When nished, allow the motor to run for an additional few minutes to prevent moving parts
from freezing, then turn the remote or front chute-rotation handle lef and right several times
to free the chute from any ice buildup. Make sure to clean off any snow and ice from the
chute base.
• In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving parts may freeze. Do not use
excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difculty operating any
control or part, start the snow blower as instructed in the chapter “Starting/Stopping the
Snow Blower” and let it run for a few minutes.
Snow Blower Overload Protection
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to remove too much snow at a time. Slow down your
pace or decrease the width of the snow-clearing swath.
Your snow blower has built-in overload-sensing elements. When the snow blower is
overloaded, the motor will decrease the speed automatically and you will hear a decrease of
motor noise. Slow down your pace or narrow the clearing width in this case, after which the
motor speed will resume its normal operation automatically. If this remedy does not solve the
overload situation, the sensor will shut off the motor automatically. Remove the battery pack
from the snow blower. Check to see if there is snow or ice stuck in the auger and deck, and
use a clean-out tool to clear them out as necessary. Reattach the battery pack and restart the
snow blower.
