Maintenance And Storage; Double-Insulated Appliances; Electrical Safety - SNOWJOE 323E Manual Del Operador

Maintenance and Storage

• Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness
to ensure that the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Always refer to the operator's manual for important details,
such as how to properly store your electric snow shovel for
an extended period of time.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as needed.
• Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent the rotor blades from freezing.

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 Snow Joe 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
may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
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.

Electrical Safety

1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric snow shovel. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. 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-, CSA- or
ETL-listed extension cord recommended for outdoor, all-
weather use.
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the appliance plug does not fit
fully 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. The extension cord plug will fit into
the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug,
extension cord receptacle or extension cord plug in any
way.

3. 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.

WARNING!
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric snow shovel to
make contact with water while it is in operation. If the
appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry
before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA- or ETL-rated extension cord
for outdoor, all-weather use. Do not use an extension
cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
offers some protection.
