General Safety WARNINGS!

When using electric lawn mowers, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric

shock, and personal injury, including the following:

m WARNING: Risk of injury could occur if the lawn mower

is operated without the catcher assembly attached.

m WARNING: The use of any other accessory or

attachment might increase the risk of injury.

m WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, inspect

catcher assembly frequently and replace with recommended

replacement if there are signs of wear or deterioration.

Before using the mower, take the time to familiarize yourself

with the controls, especially how to stop the mower in an

emergency. Only allow responsible individuals who have a

thorough understanding of these instructions and operate the

mower. Never allow children to operate the mower.

Retain this manual for future reference and reread it at the start

of each mowing session.

FOR DOUBLE-INSULATED LAWN MOWERS

1. Replacement Parts – When servicing use only identical

replacement parts.

2. USE ONLY Polarized Appliance Connections to reduce

the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized

plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require

the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance

plug will t into a polarized extension cord only one

way. 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. This 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 qualied electrician to install the proper wall

outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension

cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in anyway.

m Contact with moving parts may cause entanglement,

dismemberment or other serious bodily injury. Always

keep body parts (i.e.: hands, feet) away from moving parts.

Ensure all covers and guards are securely in place before

use.

Hot surfaces (i.e.: motor) may ignite ammables or

combustibles and cause a re or explosion resulting in

serious injury. Keep the mower away from ammables or

combustibles until hot surfaces have completely cooled.

Do not store mower near ammables or combustibles.

A damaged blade or worn blade nut may break off from

the mower assembly and cause serious injury. Replace the

damaged blade or blade nut before using the mower.

FOR ALL LAWN MOWERS

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.

extension cord suitable for outdoor use, such as SW,

SOW, STW,STOW,SJTW, or SJTOW.

operated lawn mower.

in good condition. When using an extension cord, be

sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your

product will draw. For lengths less than 100 feet, No.

14 AWG extension cord should be used. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating.
