IMPORTANT SAfE OPERATING PRACTICES

5. When operating electrical equipment outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. Keep the plug clear of water.

PERSONAL SAfETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
power equipment. Do not use power equipment while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power equipment may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Plugging in electrical equipment with the switch on invites
accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the equipment in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should wear safety glasses and
be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord.
8. Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistance
lenses. They are not safety glasses.
9. Keep hands, face and feet at a distance from all moving parts. Do not touch or
try to stop the machine when they are rotating. Do not operate without guards
in place.

PREPARATION

1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all
foreign objects such as doormats, newspapers, sleds, boards, wires, and other
items, which could be tripped over or thrown by the auger/impeller.
2. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields to protect your eyes during
operation and while performing adjustments or repairs. Thrown objects which
ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.
3. Do not operate without wearing adequate winter outer garments. Do not wear
jewelery, long scarves or other loose clothing which could become entangled in
moving parts. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
4. Use a grounded three-wire extension cord and receptacle for all units with
electric motors.
5. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor is running, except
where specifically recommended in the operator's manual.
6. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
7. Do not operate electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
8. Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge towards windows, walls,
cars, etc., thus avoiding possible property damage or personal inquiry caused
by a ricochet.
9. Allow the motor and machine to adjust to outdoor temperature before starting
to clear snow.
