the risk of electric shock. This lawn 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

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.

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 lawn mower a
safe distance away from flammable or combustible items
until surfaces that are hot have completely cooled. Do
not store the lawn mower near flammable or combustible
items.
A damaged blade or worn blade nut may break off the lawn
mower assembly and cause serious injury. Replace the
damaged blade or blade nut before using the lawn mower.
FOR ALL LAWN MOWERS
1. Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use the lawn
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 lawn 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 lawn mower.
Loose clothing, long hair, or jewelry may get caught in the
moving parts. Wear a protective covering to contain long
hair.
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
