If you are switching to AC mode, be sure to remove 

the battery before starting. 

If you are using AC power mode: 

1.

  Use only a UL-rated extension cord recommended for 

outdoor use. Refer to the Extension Cord Chart on page 5.

2. 

Push a loop of the extension cord through the slot on the 

cord lock from the opposite side of the restraint hook. 

Position the loop over the hook and pull the cable back 

through the slot (Fig. 15).

3. 

Insert the female end of the extension cord into the 

appliance's polarized male plug (Fig. 16).

4.  Note that the snow blower has a polarized male plug – 

one prong in the plug is slightly longer and wider than the 

other (Fig. 17). The extension cord female end should be 

likewise polarized so that the extension cord fits snugly 

into the appliance plug.

5.  Press the AC safety switch button found on the outside of 

the switch housing (Fig. 18).
