9. User Tips
Maximize your snow clearing efficiency and extend the life of your CONENTOOL snow shovel with these helpful tips:
- Clear Early: For best results, clear snow as soon as possible after it falls. Fresh, light snow is easier to clear than heavy, wet, or compacted snow.
- Overlap Passes: Make slightly overlapping passes to ensure complete snow removal and prevent leaving strips of snow.
- Battery Management: If you have multiple batteries, keep one charged and ready as a backup for larger jobs. Always charge batteries in a warm, dry environment.
- Use the Small Shovel: The included small snow shovel is excellent for clearing tight corners, steps, or breaking up hard-packed ice that the electric shovel might struggle with.
- Directional Clearing: Plan your clearing path to throw snow away from areas you don't want it to accumulate, such as doorways or neighboring properties.
