Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
that it is already provided on a double-insulated appliance.
Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should be performed only
by qualied service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe

dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “Double
Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol (square
within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
This electric scarier + dethatcher is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use
only identical replacement parts. Read the instructions before
servicing double-insulated appliances. Use this electric
scarier + dethatcher only as described in this manual.
Electric Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
dethatcher. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make 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.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized, UL-listed (CSA
certied in Canada) extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. The appliance plug will t into a polarized
extension cord only one way.
If the appliance plug does not t fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The
extension cord plug will t into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle or extension cord plug in any way.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
