• 

Regularly check the following:

i)  Blades are clear and can rotate freely – Accumulation 

of debris around the blades could impair performance 

or damage the motor. Inspect and clean the area around 

the blades before every use.

ii)  Safety devices are operating properly – Do not 

tamper with or adjust safety devices.

iii)  Bolts and screws are properly tightened – Visually 

inspect the machine for any damage and ensure that 

the cultivator is in safe working condition.

iv)  Use only identical replacement parts – Always replace 

damaged parts with original equipment manufacturer’s 

(OEM) parts only. Replacement parts that do not meet 

the original equipment specifications may lead to 

improper performance and compromise safety.

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

dealer. 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     (square within a square) 

may also be marked on the appliance.
 

   DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT  

                  REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY    

                 IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
This electric cultivator 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 electric cultivator 

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 cultivator. Receptacles are available 

having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this  

measure of safety.

2.  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 to the product. 

An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage 
resulting in loss of power and overheating.

3.  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, such as the Snow Joe

Power Joe SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-foot extension cord 

with lighted end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit snowjoe.com 

to purchase this extension cord online or, to order by 

phone, call 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

  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.

WARNING 

m

Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or 

DEATH. Heed these warnings:

•  Do not allow any part of the electric cultivator 

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.
