1. Use an earthed plug socket for all appliances
with electric drive or electric ignition.
2. Adjust the height of the header casing when
clearing gravel or stony surfaces.
3. Never try to make changes to settings with
the engine running (except where expressly
recommended by the manufacturer).
4. Allow the engine and appliance to cool to the
outside temperature before starting to clear
snow.
5. Operation of any powered machine can result
in foreign objects being projected into the
eyes. Therefore always wear safety goggles
or eye protection during operation, adjust-
ment or repair.
6. Wear ear protectors to prevent hearing dam-
age.
Operation
1. Keep hands and feet away from all moving
parts, including under the appliance. Keep
away from the discharge opening at all times.
2. Work particularly carefully when operating
the appliance on gravel drives, paths or
roads, or when crossing such. Always pay at-
tention to hidden obstacles or road traffic.
3. Should you collide with a foreign object,
switch off the engine, remove the spark plug
cable connector, inspect the snow blower
carefully for damage and repair the damage
before starting the engine and operating the
snow blower again.
4. If the appliance vibrates abnormally, switch
off the engine and immediately locate the
cause. Vibrations are generally a sign that
there is a problem.
5. Always switch off the engine when you stop
work, before cleaning the header/drive wheel
casing or the discharge chute, and when car-
rying out repairs, settings or inspections.
6. Before carrying out cleaning, repairs or in-
spections, always ensure that the header/
drive wheel and all moving parts are at a
standstill. Disconnect the spark plug cable
and keep it away from the spark plug to avoid
accidental ignition. In the case of electric mo-
tors, disconnect the mains plug.
7. Never operate the engine in closed rooms
except when starting or when moving the
snow blower into or out of a building. Keep
the doors open when doing so; exhaust gas-
es are toxic.
