when the unit is turned on. When the tool is not in use, the
time-out feature will cause the lights to shut off in 60 seconds.
ADJUSTING THE CHUTE
See Figures 10 - 11.
The chute can be adjusted to change both the direction and
the distance to assist you in moving snow away from one
area and placing it in another.
The direction of snow removal can be adjusted up to 180º.

the chute to the left.
„ Turn the chute rotation crank clockwise to rotate the
chute to the right.
The distance the snow is moved is adjusted using the de-
flector angle lever.
„ Push the deflector angle lever forward to tilt the chute
deflector up and increase the distance the snow will be
thrown.
„ Pull the deflector angle lever rearward to tilt the chute
deflector down and decrease the distance the snow will
be thrown.
OPERATING TIPS
See Figure 10 - 11
WARNING:
Never use snow blower on frozen lakes, rivers, or similar
surfaces. Death or serious injury could occur if the ice
breaks.
WARNING:
Never use the snow blower on a rooftop or other unstable
surface, which can result in death or serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Do not use snow blower on ice, which can cause the
operator to slip and fall, resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not wear loose clothing, scarves, or jewelry. They can
be caught in moving parts and cause death or serious
personal injury.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Keep all snow discharge pointed away from all electrical
devices to reduce the risk of electrocution or electric
shock.
WARNING:
Never point the snow blower or discharge chute in the
direction of people or pets. Thrown snow or other objects
can cause serious personal injuries.
WARNING:
Make sure the area to be cleared is free of stones, sticks,
wires, gravel, and other objects that could be acciden-
tally thrown by the snow blower in any direction and
cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
„ If the unit comes in contact with any type of obstruction
or debris during use, stop the snow blower, remove the
battery packs, remove the obstruction, and inspect the
unit carefully for damage before proceeding.
NOTE: If necessary, remove the cleaning tool from the
storage area and use it to remove any obstructions.
WARNING:
Never reach into the discharge chute or place any body
part in front of the snow blower when the unit is operating
or when the battery packs are installed. Always ensure
all moving parts have stopped and the battery pack has
been removed before clearing any obstructions. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in serious personal
injury.
„ Take notice of the direction of the wind before beginning.
When possible, discharge snow in the same direction as
the wind to prevent snow from being thrown back into
your face.
„ Some parts of the snow blower can freeze under extreme
weather conditions. Do not attempt to operate the unit
with frozen parts.
„ When finished, allow the motor to run for an additional
few minutes, then turn the chute rotation lever back and
forth several times to remove any remaining snow from
the chute.
NOTE: If necessary, remove the cleaning tool from the
storage area and use it to remove any remaining snow
from the chute.
