Snowthrower Safety Test

Never run engine indoors or in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated area. The discharge chute
contains a rotating auger to throw snow. Never
clear or unclog the discharge chute with your
hands.
Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic amputation
or severe laceration will result. Always use a clean-out tool to
clear or unclog the discharge chute.
Hand contact with the rotating auger inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with snowthrowers.
