IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below and on the machine
may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal
injury.
Read All Instructions
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and
feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety
instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Avoid dangerous environment — Do not use the lawn
mower in damp or wet conditions or operate in the rain.
Keep children away — Keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 100 ft. away. Stop machine if anyone enters
the area.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a
child.
Dress properly — Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves,
gloves, and protective footwear that will protect your feet
and improve your footing on slippery surfaces. Do not
wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals, or go
barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind. They can be
caught in moving parts.
Don’t overreach — Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
Do not leave the mower unattended while running or with
the start key installed.
Keep hands and feet away from cutting area. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times.
Operate the lawn mower only in daylight or good artificial
light.
Use safety glasses — Always wear eye protection with
side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Use face
mask if operation is dusty.
Use the right appliance — Do not use the lawn mower
for any job except that for which it is intended.
Do not force the lawn mower — It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in wet locations.
Stay alert — Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the lawn mower. Do not operate
the mower while tired, upset or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the lawn mower may result in serious
personal injury.
Maintain lawn mower with care — Keep machine in good
working condition. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Keep blades sharp and guards in place
and in working order. Replace damaged or unevenly worn
blades before using mower for best performance.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the
blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing
them.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
Stop the motor, wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop, and remove the start key and battery pack before
cleaning the lawn mower, removing the grass bag, or
removing the mulching plug.
Replace blade if it is bent or cracked. An unbalanced
blade causes vibration that could damage the motor
drive unit or cause personal injury. Sharpen a dull blade
equally at each end to maintain the balance. Clean the
blade thoroughly and check its balance by supporting
it horizontally on a thin nail through its center hole. The
nail should be in a horizontal position. If either end of
the blade rotates downward, remove some metal from
the heavy or lower end until the blade is balanced. It is
balanced when neither end drops.
Always use safety protective devices. Do not operate the
mower without the entire grass bag, mulching plug and
rear discharge door in place and working properly.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation
and installation of accessories. Only use accessories
approved by the manufacturer.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, sticks, metal, wire, bones, toys, or other
objects which can be thrown by the blade. Stay behind
the handle when the motor is running.
Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall
accident.
English 3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material
toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction,
which may cause the material to ricochet back toward
the operator.
Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.
Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident. Walk,
never run.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view.
Do not pull the mower backward unless absolutely
necessary. If you must back the mower away from a
wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid
tripping or pulling the mower over your feet.
Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material
may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade
when crossing gravel surfaces.
Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe
injuries to persons. The lawn should always be carefully
examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing.
If the lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these
steps:
• Stop the lawn mower by releasing the blade control
lever, wait until the blade comes to a complete stop,
and then remove start key and battery.
• Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage.
• Replace the blade if it is damaged in any way. Repair
any damage before restarting and continuing to operate
the mower.
Stop the motor, wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop, and remove start key and battery before unclogging
the chute. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is shut off. Never place any part
of the body in the blade area until you are sure the blade
has stopped rotating.
If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
motor and check immediately for the cause. Replace
the blade if it is unevenly worn or damaged in any way.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
Service on the product must be performed by qualified
repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user
or damage to the product.
The grass bag assembly is subject to deterioration and
wear and should be checked each time the mower is
used. If replacement is needed, make sure the new grass
bag meets original manufacturer’s recommendations and
specifications.
Use only authorized replacement parts when servicing
the product. Use identical replacement blades only. Use
of unauthorized parts may create a risk of serious injury
to the user, or damage to the product.
Maintain or replace safety instructions labels, as necessary.
Disconnect battery — Disconnect battery pack from
the appliance before storing, servicing, transporting, or
changing accessories such as blades. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Stop the unit and disconnect battery pack and start key
when not in use. Carry or push the unit with the motor
stopped and the start key and battery pack removed from
the mower.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.
Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery
tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.
Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning
or removing material from the gardening appliance.
For use with ECHO 58 V lithium-ion battery packs. See Tool/
Appliance/Battery Pack/Charger Correlation Supplement
991000233.
Store idle lawn mower indoors — When not in use, mower
should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place out of the
reach of children. The start key should also be removed
and stored in a separate location out of the reach of
children.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the
instructions, to operate this machine.
Never operate machine in a closed area.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check for proper
operation regularly.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If
you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
