Instructions

• Working outside in a snow is not a simple task. You need to provide your body enough protection before going into the cold surroundings. Wear warm clothes like sweater, mufflers, socks, snow shoes and also a pair of mittens to avoid frostbites. Avoid using scarves or other loose fitting cloths which can get caught in the snow-blower.
• Snow-blowers are of two types. One operates with electric charge and the other operates with gas. If you have electric snow-blower, charged it well before using it. If you have snow-blower that runs on gas, inspect that it has enough gas to work. Don’t smoke while operating a gas powered snow-blower.
• While using snow-blower, make certain that there is nothing in front of it; otherwise auger will chopped it down.
• Always start from the middle of the driveway, and use to the center up to the end of the driveway. While working in the center the output can be on either side.
• As you move back on the driveway, operate your blower so that it overlaps the few inches of the original stripe. This will ensure you that no snow will be pushed back on the stripe again.
