Additional Safety Information - Black & Decker BEMW482ES-CA Instruction Manual

English
• Use of Extension Cords
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before
using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the
tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of
an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see
chart below. To reduce the likelihood of disconnection of
lawn mower cord from the cord set during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown, or
Cord set
Tie cord as shown
Connect plug and receptacle
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual.
• Don't Abuse Cord – Never pull lawn mower by cord or
yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Don't Force Lawn Mower – It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Don't Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
• Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate lawn mower when you are tired.
• Disconnect Lawn Mower – Disconnect the lawn
mower from the power supply when not in use, before
servicing, when changing accessories such as blades,
and the like.
• Store Idle Lawn Mower Indoors – When not in use, lawn
mower should be stored in an indoor dry and locked-up
place – out of reach of children.
• Maintain Lawn Mower With Care – Keep cutting edges
sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
• Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
• Inspect lawn mower cord periodically and if damaged,
have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
