power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
• Walk. Do not run.
• Verify that the power tool is not in contact with anything before turning it on.
• Stay away from impeller openings at all times. Keep face, hands, and feet away from
concealed, moving, or rotating parts.
• Be attentive when using the power tool, and stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden
hazards or traffic.
• Move up and down slopes when clearing snow. Do not go across a slope. Use caution when
changing direction. Do not use this power tool to clear snow from steep slopes.
• Do not operate the power tool if the guards, plates, and other safety protective devices are not
in place.
• Do not operate the power tool near glass enclosures, automobiles, trucks, window wells,
drop-offs, etc. without properly adjusting the angle of the snow discharge. Keep children and
pets away from the work area.
• Do not operate the power tool at high speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind when backing
up and exercise caution.
• Wear safety glasses or goggles that meet ANSI Z87.1 standards.
• Use the power tool in daylight or in good artificial light. If using at night, turn on the LED lights
and be aware of your surroundings.
• To avoid accidental start-ups, remain in the starting position when turning the power tool on.
The operator and the power tool must be in a stable position during start-up. See the section
titled Starting/Stopping Instructions.
• Use this power tool only for the purposes it was designed.
• Hold the power tool with both hands while it is in use. Keep a firm grip on the handles.
• If the impeller does not rotate freely due to ice, thaw the power tool thoroughly before
attempting to use it.
• Keep the impeller clear of debris.
• Do not attempt to clear the impeller while the motor is running.
• After striking a foreign object, turn the power tool off and remove the battery pack, and then
inspect it for damage. Repair any damage before restarting and using the power tool.
• If the power tool starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the power tool immediately and attempt to
determine the cause. Vibration is generally an indication of danger.
• Stop the motor and remove the battery pack whenever the operator is not in the operating
position, before unclogging the impeller, and before making any repairs, adjustments, or
inspections.
