replacement if there are signs of wear or deterioration.

Before using the electric lawn mower + mulcher, take the time

the unit in an emergency. The only individuals who should

the instructions and who know how to operate the machine.

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.

combustible items and cause a re or explosion, which

can result in serious bodily injury. Keep the electric lawn

mower + mulcher a safe distance away from ammable

or combustible items until surfaces that are hot have

completely cooled. Do not store the unit near ammable or

moving parts.

4. Use the right appliance – Do not use the electric lawn

mower + mulcher for any applications other than those for

which it was intended.

all times.
