Beware of snowblowers Snowblowers are great devices for clearing walks and driveways in a hurry, and with less effort. But these time and labour savers take their toll of fingers and toes from the untrained and unwary, warns the Industrial Accident Preven- tion Association. The hazards associated with snowblowers are basic, but real. Each new operator should be made fully aware of the hazards, says LAPA. People who buy snowblowers should request this service from the retailer and study the equipment literature thoroughly before using the machine. Here are some useful tips from LAPA on the proper use of snowblowers; most - are also applicable to power lawn mowers: . Read and be sure you understand the instruction in the machine manual. . Shut down the engine and wait until blades stop moving before trying to clear the discharge chute. . Don't try to hurry espec- ially when the work surface is wet or slippery. . Melting ice provides slick, treacherous footing -- a hazard often involved in snowblower accidents. . Don't leave a running snow- blower unattended for a moment. .Stop the motor completely when you leave. Don't work while wearing soft footwear. Wear sturdy workshoes and heavy, close- fitting slacks to protect feet, ankles and legs. . At the beginning of each winter season, re-read man- ufacturer's instructions for the machine's safety and maintenance. . Know and practice using the machine's controls so in an emergency you'll do the right thing automatically. Be sure you know how to stop the motor in an instant. . If electric, make sure it is properly grounded and if gasoline powered, do not re- fuel while the engine is hot. . Be sure that only competent well-trained persons operate the machine.
