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,
boots, and gloves. 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 operate the equipment while barefoot or when
wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve
your footing on slippery surfaces.
Do not leave the mower unattended while running or with
the 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.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday
glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
eye injury. Use face mask if operation is dusty.
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.
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 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 key and battery pack before
cleaning the lawn mower, removing the grass catcher,
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
of lower end until the blade is balanced. It is balanced
when neither end drops.
When not in use, mower should be stored indoors in a
dry, locked up place—out of the reach of children. The
key should also be removed and stored in a separate
location out of the reach of children.
Always use safety protective devices. Do not operate the
mower without the entire grass catcher, 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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. Ma-
terial 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 bail, wait until the
blade comes to a complete stop, and then remove key.
• 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 key 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.
