General Safety WARNINGS!
When using electric lawn mowers, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, 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 fit into a polarized extension cord only one
way. 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. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. 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 anyway.
