Operating Instructions
ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE UPPER AND LOWER TUBES
1. Fit the upper and lower tubes together and tighten the joint-fixing knob
(Fig.1).
2. Assemble the adjustable handle and tighten the handle knob (Fig. 2 and 3).
NOTE: the tip on the lower clip shall be inserted to the slot on the upper tube.
OPERATION
CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (i.e.
one blade is wider than the other; see Fig. 4).

5
Use this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL- listed extension
cord recommended for outdoor, all-weather use.
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the
appliance plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The extension
cord plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the
appliance plug, extension cord receptacle or extension cord plug in any way.
IMPORTANT: Check the extension cord frequently during use for holes or
cracks in the insulation. Do not use a damaged cord. Do not run the cord
through standing water or wet grass.
Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor use.
SECURING THE EXTENSION CORD
Make a loop with the extension cord (Fig. 5).
Insert the loop through the opening in the back of the upper handle and secure
the loop onto the extension cord hook (Fig. 6).
Connect the extension cord to the snow shovel.

6
NOTE: Securing the extension cord in this way helps to prevent you from
acciden-tally disconnecting the extension cord from the snow shovel during
operation.
Plug the extension cord into a wall outlet.
Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys or other foreign objects that
the rotating paddles might pick up and throw. Such items could be covered by
snow and are easy to overlook, so be sure to conduct a thorough inspection of
the area before operating the snow shovel.
STARTING AND TOPPING
To start the electric snow shovel, push and hold the safety lock button on the
top of the handle grip with your thumb and then squeeze the trigger switch with
your fingers. Once the machine powers on, you can release the safety lock
button and proceed with operation (Fig. 7).
To stop the electric snow shovel, release the trigger switch (Fig. 7).
OPERATING TIPS
Start the electric snow shovel and tilt it forward until the scraper blade at the
base of the unit contacts the ground. Push the shovel forward at a comfortable
rat e, yet slow enough to clear the path completely. The clearing width of the
snow shovel and the depth of snowfall should dictate your forward speed.
Direct the snow discharge to the right or to the left by holding the electric snow
shovel at a slight angle. To remove snow most efficiently, throw the snow
down- wind and slightly overlap each swath.
If you need to clear snow from a crushed rock or gravel surface, push down on
the handle to clear the scraper of any loose material that the rotating paddles
could throw.

7
This electric snow shovel cuts a path 12" /30.5 cm wide and up to 6"/15.24 cm
deep in one pass.
When clearing deeper drifts, hold the electric snow shovel by the upper and
lower handles and use a swinging or sweeping motion. Remove up to 6" /15.24
cm of snow with each pass and repeat as many times as needed.
Keep the cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects and the rotating paddles. Do
not pull sharply on the cord or abuse it in any manner. Frequently inspect the
cord for signs of damage. If damage is found, replace the cord immediately.
This electric snow shovel is equipped with a 1 W LED light to facilitate clearing
at night and under conditions of poor visibility (Fig. 8). When you start the
machine, the LED light will automatically power on and illuminate the path in
front of you. When you stop the machine, the LED light will automati-cally
power off.
Disconnect the extension cord after using the electric snow shovel. Hang the
extension cord with the shovel so it will not be misplaced or damaged.
REPLACING THE PADDLE
Use a wrench to remove the bolt and the washer on the right side of the
housing (Fig. 9).
Using a cross-head screwdriver, disassemble the left side cover by removing
the seven screws (Fig. 10).
Remove the tensioner. Unscrew the three screws securing the big pulley plat e,
then remove the plate and pulley assembly (Fig. 11).

8
Remove the old paddle from the housing (Fig. 12).
To install the new paddle, place the washer (A) back onto the bolt (removed in

9
step 1) and insert the bolt so that it protrudes slightly into the housing of the
unit. Thread the nut and then the other washer (B) onto the bolt. Fit the new
paddles onto the end of bolt and tighten the bolt (Fig. 13).
Reinstall the big pulley plate and align it with the other end of the paddles. After
fitting the paddles into position, secure the big pulley plate with the three (3)
screws (Fig. 14).
NOTE: The housing will flex to allow for installation of the new paddl e.
Place the tensioner back into position. Rotate the paddles to ensure that the
belt and paddles move freely, then reinstall the cover by securing it with the
seven screws (Figs. 15 & 16).
WARNING! Do not power the unit until the cover guard is securely in place to
prevent damage or injury.
REPLACING THE BELT
Disassemble the left side cover by removing the seven screws (Fig. 10).
Remove the tensioner (Fig. 17).
Unscrew the three (3) screws from the big pulley plate and the four (4) screws
from the small pulley plate (Fig.17).
Replace the worn belt with a new belt.
Screw the big and small pulley plates back into position, then reinstall the
tensioner.
Place the left side cover back into position and refasten the seven screws.
REPLACING THE SCRAPER BLADE
Position the paddles so that you can gain access to the three screws that
secure the scraper blade to the base of the unit.
Using a long cross-head screwdriver, remove the three screws and the old
scraper blade (Fig. 18).
Install the new scraper blade and fasten it securely to the snow shovel with the
three screws.
