Operation
m
WARNING! Keep the area to be cleared free of stones,
toys or other foreign objects that the rotor blades might pick
up and throw. Such items could be covered by snow and are
easy to overlook, so be sure to conduct a thorough inspection
of the area before beginning work.
Starting the Machine
1. Open the battery compartment cover and slide the battery
down until it clicks to lock it into position, then close the
battery compartment cover (Fig. 10).
2. To start the cordless snow shovel, push and hold the
safety lock switch on the top of the handle grip with your
thumb and then squeeze the trigger switch with your
fingers. Once the machine powers on, you can release the
safety lock switch and proceed with operation (Fig. 11).
3. To stop the cordless snow shovel, release the trigger
switch.
Operating Tips
• Start the cordless snow shovel and tilt it forward until the
scraper blade at the base of the unit contacts the ground.
Push the shovel forward at a comfortable rate, yet slow
enough to clear the path completely. The clearing width of
the snow shovel and the depth of snowfall should dictate
your forward speed.
• Direct the snow discharge to the right or to the left by
holding the cordless snow shovel at a slight angle.
• To remove snow most efficiently, throw the snow
downwind and slightly overlap each swath.
• If you need to clear snow from a crushed rock or gravel
surface, push down on the handle to keep the scraper
blade clear of any loose material that the rotor blades
could throw.
• This cordless snow shovel cuts a path 13 in. (33 cm) wide
and up to 6 in. (15 cm) deep in one pass.
• When clearing deeper drifts, hold the cordless snow
shovel by the upper and lower handles and use a
swinging or sweeping motion. Remove up to 6 in.
(15 cm) of snow with each pass and repeat as many
times as needed.
• Remove the battery after using the cordless snow shovel.
Hang the shovel so it will not be misplaced or damaged.
