SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement

and other masonry products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-

treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical:

• Work in a well ventilated area,

• Work with approved safety equipment,

such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to ﬁlter out microscopic particles.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! When using electric lawn

mowers, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

WARNING: Risk of injury could occur if

the lawn mower is operated without the catcher assembly attached.

WARNING: The use of any other

accessory or attachment might increase the risk of injury

CAUTION: For battery-operated lawn

mowers, use only identical replacement batteries and specifying the battery type and manufacturer, and devices for retaining extension cords are available.

FOR ALL LAWN MOWERS

1) Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don’t use

lawn mowers in damp or wet locations.

2) Don’t Use In Rain.

3) Keep Children Away - All visitors should be

kept a safe distance from work area.

4) Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelry. They can be caught in moving

SUPPLEMENT SA-BATTERY-OPERATED LAWN MOWERS

a) Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in

wet locations.

3-in-1 Cordless Lawn Mower

1110

b) Do not use battery-operated lawn mower in

rain.

c) When replacing batteries, all batteries

should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharge battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery.)

d) When inserting batteries into this product,

the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of batteries can result in leakage or explosion. (Applies to product employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery.)

e) Remove or disconnect battery before

servicing, cleaning, or removing material from the lawn mower.

FOR ALL BATTERY-OPERATED PRODUCTS EMPLOYING A DETACHABLE OR SEPARABLE BATTERY

a) Use only the following type and model

battery(ies): WA3218(WG787)

b) Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a

ﬁre. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

c) Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).

Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

d) 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.

FOR A BATTERY-OPERATED LAWN MOWER EMPLOYING A VENTED WET CELL BATTERY SUPPLY INTENDED TO BE INITIALLY OR PERIODICALLY FILLED BY THE USER: CAUTION: The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric

acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive. The following procedures should be observed: a) Wear full eye protection and protective

clothing.

b) If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off

immediately with water.

c) If electrolyte contacts the eyes, ﬂush

thoroughly and immediately with water. Seek medical attention.”

SAFE PRACTICES FOR WALK-BEHIND MOWERS I. GENERAL OPERATION

1) Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s) before starting.

2) Do not put hands or feet near or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

3) Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate this machine.

4) Clear the area of objects such as rocks, wire, toys, etc., which could be thrown by the blade. Stay behind the handle when the engine (motor) is running.

5) Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

6) Do not operate machine barefooted or while wearing sandals. Always wear substantial footwear.

7) Do not pull machine backward unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while moving backward.

8) 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.

9) Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard, rear guard, or other safety protective devices in place and working.

10) Never leave a running machine unattended.

11) Stop the engine (motor) and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before cleaning the machine, removing grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge guard.

12) Operate machine only in daylight or good artiﬁcial light.

13) Do not operate machine while under the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs.

14) Never operate mower in wet grass. Always

1110

3-in-1 Cordless Lawn Mower

be sure of your footing; walk; never run.

15) Disengage the drive system, if so equipped, before starting the engine (motor).

16) If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check for the cause immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

17) Always wear eye protection when operating machine.

18) See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer.

II. SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.

1) Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

2) Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3) Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

4) Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or balance.

III. CHILDREN 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.

1) Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

2) Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

3) Never allow children to operate the machine.

4) Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.

IV. SERVICE GENERAL SERVICE

1) Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

2) Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

3) Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.

4) If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the machine. Repair, if necessary, before starting.

5) Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine (motor) running.

6) Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.

7) Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

8) Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

wear, and replace worn bags. Check that replacement bags comply with the original manufacturer’s recommendations or speciﬁcations.

d) Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked.

An unbalanced blade causes vibration that could damage the motor drive unit or cause personal injury.

e) Sharpen a dull blade equally at each end to

maintain the balance.

f) Clear the blade thoroughly and check its

balance by supporting it horizontally on a thin nail through its centre hole. The nail should also 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.

1.4 Maintenance

a) Check the blade and the engine mounting

bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

b) Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to

be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
