ELECTRICAL SAFETY

DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be performed only by qualified service personnel at an authorized 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.

This electric snow shovel 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 snow shovel only as described in this manual.

EXTENSION CORDS

See Figure 1.

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with "WA" or "W" on the cord's jacket. Be sure to use a heavy guage (A.W.G.) wire for your product based on the chart below. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. (smaller gauge numbers equal heavier cords). Using an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage and result in loss of power and overheating.

**Ampere rating (on product data plate)
0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0

Cord Length	Wire Size (A.W.G.)
25' 16 16 16 16 14 14
50' 16 16 16 14 14 12
**Used on 12 gauge – 20 amp circuit. NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make the knot as shown in figure 1, then connect the plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two extension cords together.

WARNING

Keep the extension cord clear Position the cord so that it will nber, tools, or other obstructions g with a power tool. Failure to do us personal injury.

WARNING

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use the product with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is nominal 120V/60Hz AC (typical U.S. household circuit). Do not operate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

POLARIZED PLUG

See Figure 2.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a polarized plug featuring one blade that is wider than the other. Do not modify the plug provided. The plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. Use only a polarized UL-, CSA-, or ETL-listed extension cord when using this snow shovel. If the plug does not fully fit into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet.

WARNING

Improper installation of a nonpolarized extension cord increases the risk of electric shock.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has a polarized plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 2. Only connect the product to an extension cord having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
