Another bad answer from Mr. Stanch. I have this snow blower. The Control bar is connected to an electric switch. There's NO "cable at the bottom". Stop posting garbage answers. There IS a plastic safety key that has to be inserted for the switch to work. Maybe that's been lost.Another bad answer from Mr. Stanch. I have this snow blower.

Yes, a high-pitched squeal coming from your electric snow blower when you turn on the blower could indicate a bearing issue. The blower motor is typically equipped with bearings to reduce friction and allow the motor to run smoothly. Over time, these bearings can wear out or become damaged, resulting in a squealing or grinding noise.
If you suspect a bearing issue, it's important to have your snow blower inspected and repaired by a qualified technician or service center. Attempting to repair the snow blower on your own could be dangerous and may cause further damage to the machine.
The parts diagrams online show some little parts in the drive train, thrust washers and idler/drivers. Are all those parts accounted for and in place? Is the polarity on the motor turning it the proper direction? Hope you can run it with a cover open to see what is happening or not happening. Can you turn the paddles by hand and the motor turns with it?
The carburetor on your Toro 418ZR snow blower is located on the right side of the unit above the rear wheel (if standing behind the snow blower). You will have to remove the top main cover and the starter housing to access the carburetor cover and assembly. Here's a part diagram that may help out: http://www.jackssmallengines.com/Jacks-Parts-Lookup/Manufacturer/toro/5860/62997
1 dont tilt the blower forward. the paddles are not supposed to touch the ground. the only thing that should rub the ground is the scraper bar. that bring us to number 2. 2 damage to the scraper bar would cause the same thing.. not likely if the machine is that new.
It's possible your auger may be worn, and it is not moving / propelling enough snow to make up the difference to blow the snow at the angled setting. It may throw the snow forward better due to less resistance, rather than the snow having to propel around an angle / curve. Just a thought for now.
