Snowblower Safety
Tips
Read the instruction manual before using.
Be sober.
Do not remove safety devices, shields, or guards on switches.
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
Stay away from the engine as it can become very hot and burn unprotected flesh.
Add fuel before starting the engine, not when it is running or hot.
Use a stick or broom handle (not your hands or feet) to remove debris.
Never let children operate. Keep children 15 years of age and younger away from the snowblower when it is in use.
Do not leave snowblower unattended when it is running. If you must walk away from the machine, turn the engine off.
If your snowblower becomes jammed:
Turn it off
Disengage the clutch
Wait more than five seconds for blades to stop rotating.
Beware of the brief recoil of motor and blades that occurs after the machine has been turned off.
Always use a stick or broom handle to clear impacting snow.
Never put your hand down chutes or around blades.
