IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Do not plug in the Snow Thrower until the following steps have been
read and understood.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR SNOW THROWER
Electrical Instructions
Your Snow Thrower has a polarized male plug, with one prong in the switch housing socket
slightly longer and wider than the other. The extension cord female end also should be polarized,
so that the extension cord fits snugly into the switch housing socket.
WARNING: Your Snow Thrower is intended for outdoor, residential use only. Do
not use it indoors, for commercial or industrial purposes.
DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging your
Snow Thrower. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Warning: To prevent electric shock, use your Snow Thrower only with an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
