Before using the mower, take the time to familiarize yourself
with the controls, especially how to stop the mower in

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.

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

Loose clothing, long hair or jewelry may get caught in the
moving parts.
4. Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower
