DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric
snowblower which eliminates the need for the usual
three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal
parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double-
insulated snowblower do not need to be grounded.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120
V, 60 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
When using a snowblower at a considerable distance
from a power source, be sure to use an extension
cord that has the capacity to handle the current the
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss
of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum
wire size required in an extension cord. Only round-
jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an
extension cord that is designed for outside use. This
type of cord is designated with "WA" on the cord's
jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose
or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. It is
possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in
a knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected
during use. Make the knot as shown in the figure at
right, then connect the plug end of the power cord into
the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method
can also be used to tie two extension cords together.
WARNING: The double-insulated
system is intended to protect the user
from shock resulting from a break in
the snowblower's internal insulation.
Observe all normal safety precautions to
avoid electrical shock.
WARNING: 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 authorized
service centre for repair. Always use
identical factory replacement parts when
servicing.
•
Inspect the extension cord and the power cord
on a regular basis. Look for deterioration, cuts, or
cracks in the insulation. Inspect the connections
for damage. Repair or replace the extension cord
or the power cord if any damage is found.
•
Verify that the paddle and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop, and disconnect the
snowthrower from the power supply in order to
prevent accidental start- ups, before cleaning or
performing any inspections or repairs.
•
Do not abuse the extension cord. Do not carry the
snowblower by the power cord or pull on the cord
in order to disconnect it from the receptacle.
•
Keep the extension cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges in order to prevent damage.
•
If the extension cord is damaged in any manner
while it is plugged in, disconnect it from the outlet
immediately.
•
Prevent any possible disconnection of the power
cord from the extension cord while the snowblower
is in use by using the cord retainer. Refer to the
section entitled Using the Cord Retainer.
•
Unplug the snowblower and allow it to cool
down before putting it into storage. Store the
snowthrower indoors.
•
Unplug the snowblower when it is not in use and
before performing any maintenance or repairs.
