3. Connect the extension cord to the appliance cord (Fig. 9).
NOTE: Securing the extension cord in this way helps to
prevent you from accidentally disconnecting the extension
cord from the appliance during operation.
4. Plug the extension cord into a wall outlet.
5. 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 and Stopping
1. To start the electric snow shovel, push and hold the safety
lock button 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 button and proceed with operation (Fig. 10).
2. To stop the electric snow shovel, release the trigger
switch.
Operating Tips
• Start the electric 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 electric 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 clear the scraper of
any loose material that the rotor blades could throw.
• This electric 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 electric 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.
• Keep the cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects and the
rotating auger. Do not pull sharply on the cord or abuse
it in any manner. Frequently inspect the cord for signs of
damage. If damage is found, replace the cord immediately.
• Disconnect the extension cord after using the electric
snow shovel. Hang the extension cord with the shovel so it
will not be misplaced or damaged.
