2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This appliance is a lightweight and compact,
single-stage rechargeable battery-operated snow
blower with electric motor that is suitable for
clearing light new snow and powder snow. In a
single operation, the snow is picked up by the
clearing paddle and directly discharged through
the discharge channel. The user as well as the
rotating clearing paddle move the appliance for-
wards. The scraper bar scrapes on the ground
and loosens the snow. To do so, the appliance
must be pressed onto the ground by the user.
The energy-saving LED light provides more visib-
ility at twilight and on snowy days.
Due to the rechargeable battery operation, there
is no obstructive mains connection cable.
2.1

Designated use

This appliance is intended exclusively for clearing
freshly fallen, loose wet snow and powder snow
on paved paths and areas – such as patios, gar-
age entrances, footpaths or car parking spaces –
in the private sector. The paths and areas to be
cleared must be on solid ground and have a
smooth surface, e.g. concrete paving, granite
paving or asphalt.
This machine is solely intended for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use (as well
as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are re-
garded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss
of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will
thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or
injury suffered by the user or third parties.
2.2

Possible foreseeable misuse

The appliance is not suitable for clearing un-
paved paths and areas – e.g. gravel surfaces,
gravel paths or meadows. Snow in great quantit-
ies and depth, very wet snow and hard-packed
snow and ice can no longer be cleared with this
appliance.
The appliance is designed neither for commercial
use in public parks and sports facilities, nor for
use in farming and forestry.
