Securing the Extension Cord
1. For safe and efficient use of your snowblower, use
only a UL-rated extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. Refer to the Extension Cord Chart
that follows.
WARNING: Electric shock may cause
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
• Do not allow any part of snowblower
to make contact with water while
powered on. If the snowblower
becomes wet while turned off, wipe
dry before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA-, or ETL-rated
extension cord for outdoor, all-
weather use. Do not use an extension
cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug
with wet hands or while standing in
water. Wearing rubber boots offers
some protection.

4. Note that the
snowblower has
a polarized male
plug – one prong in
the plug is slightly
longer and wider than
the other (Fig. 20).
The extension cord
female end should
be likewise polarized
so that the extension
cord fits snugly into
the snowblower plug.
WARNING: Damaged electrical cords
present risk of fire, electrical shock, and
serious bodily injury. Before operating
the snowblower, carefully examine the
electrical cord. If the cord is damaged,
do not use the snowblower. Replace or
repair the damaged cord immediately.
