Operation
NOTE: It is best to remove snow before it becomes packed
down.
1. Extension cord: Note that the snow thrower has a polarized
plug (J), with one prong slightly longer and wider than the
other. The extension cord plug and the slotted end should be
likewise polarized, so that the original plug fits snugly into the
extension cord slots.
To prevent the snow thrower cord and extension cord from
disconnecting during use, tie the extension cord into a loose
knot around the lower bar (K) of the handle as shown in next
step (Figure 7, Item O).
2. Plug the extension cord into a wall outlet. Insert the key
(L) into the slot in front of the hand-grip (M) (Figure 7).
Powering On and Off
3. Insert the key (L). Squeeze the On/Off switch (N), as shown in
Figure 7. Release the switch by releasing grip pressure.
4. When finished with work, remove the key and disconnect
the extension cord.
