ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.

**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
of the working area. Position the cord so that it will
not get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do
so can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
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
polarized 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.
