General Safety WARNINGS!

When using this electric lawn mower, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock, and personal injury. These precautions include:

mWARNING! Do not operate without the entire grass

catcher/side-discharge chute, discharge guard, rear guard, or

other safety protective devices in place and in proper

working order.

mWARNING! The use of any other accessory or

attachment might increase the risk of injury.

mWARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, inspect the

catcher assembly frequently and replace with recommended

replacement if there are signs of wear or deterioration.

Before using the mower, take the time to familiarize yourself

with the controls, especially how to stop the mower in

an emergency. The only individuals who should use the

mower are those who have a thorough understanding of the

instructions and who know how to operate the machine.

Children should never be allowed access to the mower.

Retain this manual for future reference and reread it at the start

of each mowing season.

FOR DOUBLE-INSULATED

LAWN MOWERS

1. Replacement parts – When servicing this unit, use only

identical replacement parts. Replace or repair damaged

cords immediately.

2. Polarized plug – Polarized appliance connections reduce

the risk of electric shock. This mower has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use

of a polarized extension cord. There is only one way the

mower’s plug will t into a polarized extension cord. If the

plug does not t fully into the extension cord, reverse the

plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain a correct polarized

extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the

use of a polarized wall outlet. There is only one way the

plug will t into a polarized wall outlet. If the plug does

not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug

still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install

the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug,

extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug

in any way.

mWARNING! Contact with moving parts may cause

entanglement, dismemberment, or other serious bodily

injury. Always keep body parts (i.e. hands, feet) a safe

distance away from moving parts. Ensure all covers and

guards are securely in place before use.

Hot surfaces (i.e. the motor) may ignite ammable or

combustible items and cause a re or explosion, which

can result in serious bodily injury. Keep the mower a safe

distance away from ammable or combustible items until

surfaces that are hot have completely cooled. Do not store

the mower near ammable or combustible items.

A damaged blade or worn blade nut may break o the

mower assembly and cause serious injury. Replace the

damaged blade or blade nut before using the mower.

FOR ALL LAWN MOWERS

1. Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use the mower in

the rain or when the grass is damp or wet.

2. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away – Always

keep children and spectators a safe distance away from

the mower during operation and as the machine cools.

3. Dress properly – Always wear personal safety gear (i.e.

glasses, rubber gloves, protective footwear, and dust

masks) and proper clothing when using the mower.

Loose clothing, long hair, or jewelry may get caught in the

moving parts.

4. Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower

for any applications other than those for which it was

intended.

5. Do not force the lawn mower – It will perform better with

less likelihood of personal or mechanical injury if it is used

at the rate for which it was designed.

6. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at

all times.

7. Stay alert – Always be alert and watch what you are

doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the lawn

mower when you are tired or under the inuence of

alcohol or drugs.
