Having a snow blower is so convenient, but it’s good to make sure you know how to operate one safely.
- If the snow blower jams, turn it off before tampering with it.
- Keep your hands away from the moving parts at all times.
- Do not drink alcohol while using the snow blower.
- Be award of the carbon monoxide risk of running a snow blower in an enclosed space.
- Refuel your snow blower when it is off, never when it is running.
- Pushing a heavy snow blower can cause injury. Take it slow and take breaks as needed.
