2 GENERAL APPLIANCE
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “appliance” in the warnings refers to your
battery-operated (cordless) snow shovel.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate
this tool. Children who are 14 years of age or older
must read and understand the operating instructions
and safety rules in this manual and must be trained
and supervised by a parent.
• Read the operating and service instruction manual
carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the appliance. Know how to
stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
• Never allow children to operate the appliance. Never
allow adults to operate the appliance without proper
instruction.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children, and pets.
• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling,
especially when operating in reverse.
• Do not use on graveled surfaces.
• Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts.
• Wear rubber boots when operating the appliance.
• Operation of the appliance in the hand-held position
is unsafe, except in accordance with the special
instructions for such use provided in the operator’s
manual.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the appliance is
to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards,
wires, and other foreign objects.
• Do not operate the appliance without wearing
adequate winter garments. Wear footwear, which
will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
• Adjust the housing height to clear gravel or crushed
rock surface.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while
the appliance is running (except where specifically
recommended by manufacturer).
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during
operation or while performing an adjustment or
repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may
be thrown from the appliance.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying
the appliance with your finger on the switch or
energizing appliance that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screw or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
4
English
EN
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert
for hidden hazards or traffic.
• After striking a foreign object, turn the machine off
and remove the battery pack, and then inspect it for
damage. Repair any damage before restarting and
using the machine.
• If the appliance should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the machine and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• Stop the machine whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the collector/impeller
housing or discharge guide, and when making any
repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
• When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain the collector/impeller and all moving parts
have stopped.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
• Never operate the appliance without proper guards,
keep other safety protective devices in place and
working.
• Never direct the discharge toward people or areas
where property damage can occur. Keep children
and others away.
• Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting
to clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Don’t Force appliance – It will perform better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Never operate the appliance at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when
reversing.
• Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow
anyone in front of the appliance.
• Disengage power to the collector/impeller when the
appliance is transported or not in use.
• Use only attachments and accessories approved by
the manufacturer of the appliance (such as wheel
weights, counterweights, or cabs).
• Never operate the appliance without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a
firm hold on the handles.
• Walk, never run.
• Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute.
• The machine is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
machine by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the machine.
• Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with appliances. Never use your hand to
clean out the discharge chute. To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE（Motor） OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades
have stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
• If the appliance strikes a foreign object follow these
steps:
1. Stop the appliance. Release the switch.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Inspect for damage.
4. Repair any damage before restarting and
operating the appliance.
• Check shear bolts; engine-mounted bolt, etc., at
frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the
appliance is in safe working condition.
• Always refer to owner’s guide instructions for
important details if the appliance is to be stored for
an extended period.
• Store Idle appliances Indoors – When not in use,
the appliances should be stored indoors in a dry,
locked-up place – out of reach of children.
• Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent
intervals for proper tightness to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Run the appliance a few minutes after throwing
snow to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire，explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire
or excessive temperature space. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
