Folding And Unfolding The Handle - DeWalt DCSNP2142 Instruction Manual

Folding and Unfolding the Handle

NOTE: When folding or unfolding the handle, If necessary, adjust
the wing knobs so that the handle levers are tight enough to hold
the upper handle in the operation position but loose enough for
the handle lever to flip down to unlock the upper handle to be
folded down to the storage position.
1. Rotate the chute completely to the right or left. Refer to
Adjusting the Chute Direction and Pitch on page 14.
2. Flip the two handle levers down to the Unlocked position
(Figure 16).

OPERATION
Clearing a Clogged Chute Assembly
Never use your hands to clear a clogged chute assembly.
Shut OFF motor and remain behind handles until all
moving parts have stopped before using the clean-out
tool to clear the chute assembly.
Hand contact with the rotating auger inside the chute assembly
is the most common cause of injury associated with snow
blowers. Never use your hand to clean out the chute assembly.
To clear the chute (Figure 18):
1. TURN THE SNOW BLOWER OFF.
2. Remove safety key.
3. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger has stopped rotating.
IMPORTANT: Always use a clean-out tool (Part No. 931-2643),
not your hands. Refer to the separate supplement for clean-out
tool ordering information.
