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 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
mower's plug will fit into a polarized extension cord. If the
plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, 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 fit into a polarized wall outlet. If the plug does
not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug
in any way.
m
WARNING!
Contact with moving parts may cause
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 flammable or
combustible items and cause a fire or explosion, which
can result in serious bodily injury. Keep the mower a safe
distance away from flammable or combustible items until
surfaces that are hot have completely cooled. Do not store
the mower near flammable or combustible items.
A damaged blade or worn blade nut may break off the
mower assembly and cause serious injury. Replace the
damaged blade or blade nut before using the mower.
FOR ALL LAWN MOWERS
1. Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use the mower in
the rain or when the grass is damp or wet.
2. Keep children, bystanders, and pets away – Always
keep children and spectators a safe distance away from
the mower during operation and as the machine cools.
3. Dress properly – Always wear personal safety gear (i.e.
glasses, rubber gloves, protective footwear, and dust
masks) and proper clothing when using the mower.
Loose clothing, long hair, or jewelry may get caught in the
moving parts.
4. Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower
for any applications other than those for which it was
intended.
5. Do not force the lawn mower – It will perform better with
less likelihood of personal or mechanical injury if it is used
at the rate for which it was designed.
6. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
7. Stay alert – Always be alert and watch what you are
doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the lawn
mower when you are tired or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
