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 lawn 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 lawn 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 qualied
electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change
the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.

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 lawn mower a safe
distance away from ammable or combustible items until
surfaces that are hot have completely cooled. Do not store
the lawn mower near ammable or combustible items.
Damaged blades or worn blade nut may break o the
lawn mower assembly and cause serious injury. Replace
the damaged blades or blade nut before using the lawn
mower.

mower when you are tired or under the inuence of
alcohol or drugs. This lawn mower is not designed to be
used by people (including children) with limited physical,
sensory or mental capacities. It should also not be used
by those lacking the proper experience and/or knowledge
unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible
for their safety or they have received instructions from
such a person on how to safely use the equipment.
8. Disconnect the lawn mower – Disconnect the lawn
mower from the power supply when it is not in use,
before servicing, when changing accessories, and when
performing any other maintenance task.
9. Store idle lawn mower indoors – When not in use, the
lawn mower should be stored indoors in a dry, locked
place out of the reach of children.
10. Maintain the lawn mower with care – Keep cutting
edges sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Inspect the lawn mower cord periodically and if damage
is found have it repaired by an authorized service facility.
Extension cords should also be inspected periodically
and immediately replaced if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the lawn mower. Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of
safety.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized, UL-listed (CSA
certied in Canada) extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. The appliance plug will t into a polarized
extension cord only one way.
If the appliance 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. The
extension cord plug will t into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
3. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW, SOW, STW, STOW,
SJTW, or SJTOW.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
m WARNING m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the lawn mower to make
contact with water while it is in operation. If the
appliance becomes wet while turned o, wipe dry
before starting.
• Use only a UL-, CSA-, or ETL-rated extension cord for
outdoor, all-weather use.
• Do not use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m).
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
oers some protection.
