SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL OPERATION

WARNING: when using electric lawn mowers, basic safety precautions should always be

followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

• Carefully read all instructions on the mower and in the manual before attempting to assemble

and operate the mower. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference, and consult it

regularly.

• Become familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the mower and

how to disengage the power in an emergency.

• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this mower. Children who are 14 years of

age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and the safety rules in this

manual, and must be trained and supervised by a parent.

• Do not allow anyone to operate this mower until they have read and understand the

instructions.

• In order to avoid contact with the blade or injury caused by a thrown object, stay in the

operator’s zone behind the handles, and keep children and bystanders at least 100’ (30 m)

away from the mower while it is in operation. Stop the motor immediately if someone enters

the mowing area.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks,

wire, bones, toys, and other foreign objects that could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.

Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury.

• Plan your mowing pattern in such a way as to avoid discharging material toward roads,

sidewalks, bystanders, etc. Do not discharge material against a wall or obstruction. Doing so

may cause the discharged material to ricochet back toward the operator.

• Always wear proper eye protection that complies with ANSI Z87.1 in order to protect your

eyes while operating or performing any adjustment or repair. Thrown objects that ricochet can

cause serious eye injury.

• Always wear a face mask or a dust mask when operating the mower in a dusty environment.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can get caught in moving parts.

The wearing of protective gloves and safety footwear is recommended.

• In order to prevent electric shock, use this mower only with a CSA/CUL listed extension cord

that is approved for outdoor use, such as Type SW–A, SOW–A, STW–A, STOW–A, SJW–A,

SJOW–A, SJTW–A, or SJTOW–A.

• Extension Cord: Verify that the extension cord is in good condition, is heavy enough to carry

the current that your mower will draw, and is polarized (one blade of the plug is wider than the

other).

• In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, this lawn mower is equipped with a polarized

plug (one blade is wider than the other), and must be used with a polarized extension cord.

The lawn mower’s plug will only t into the polarized extension cord one way. If the plug does

not t into the extension cord properly, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain a

proper polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord must be plugged into a polarized

wall outlet. This plug will only t into the polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not t into

the outlet properly, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician

to install a proper outlet. Do not alter the lawn mower’s plug, the receptacle on the extension

SAFETY INFORMATION

cord, or the plug on the extension cord in any way.

• Household circuit: This mower is designed to operate on a 15 A circuit. If the mower has

difficulty starting when connected to a circuit that contains a standard 15 A fuse or circuit

breaker, call the toll-free helpline (1-888-909-6757). Do not use a fuse or circuit breaker with

higher rating than that specied for your particular branch circuit.

• Do not abuse the cord by pulling the mower by the cord or yanking on the cord in order to

disconnect it from the outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

• Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the operator’s foot during a

fall caused by slipping or tripping. Do not operate this mower in bare feet, or while wearing

sandals or lightweight (e.g.: canvas) shoes. Do not hold on to the mower if you are falling.

Release the handle immediately.

• Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the mower

away from a wall or an obstruction, rst look down and behind in order to avoid tripping, and

then follow these steps:

• Step back from the mower in order to fully extend your arms.

• Be sure that you are well balanced.

• Pull the mower back slowly.

• Repeat these steps as necessary.

• Do not use mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Do not force the mower.

• Do not operate the mower while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.

• Stay Alert: Do not operate the mower when you are tired. Pay attention to what you are doing.

Use common sense.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade

can amputate hands and feet.

• Do not attempt to adjust the wheels or the cutting height while the motor is running.

• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the mower in the rain or in wet or damp grass.

• Mow only in daylight or in good articial light. Do not rush a mowing job.

• Stop the blade when crossing gravel driveways, walkways, or roads.

• If the mower starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check for the cause immediately.

Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

• Stop the motor and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass

catcher or unclogging the chute. The cutting blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds

after the motor is shut off. Do not place any part of your body in the blade area until you are

sure that the blade has stopped rotating.

• Never operate the mower without a proper trail shield, discharge cover, grass catcher, switch

control, or other safety protective devices in place and in working order. Do not operate the

mower with damaged safety devices. Doing so can result in injury.

• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not operate without grass catcher or guards in

place.

• Never operate the mower without the proper safety devices in place and working.

• To reduce the risk of injury, inspect catcher assembly frequently and replace with recommended

• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children. Keep

children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult. Stay alert,

and turn the mower off if a child enters the mowing area. Look behind and down for small

children before and while moving back wards. Use extreme care when approaching blind

corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your view of a child who

may run into the path of the mower.

• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this mower. Children who are 14 years

of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this

manual, and must be trained and supervised by a parent.

damage, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. As a safety

precaution, check the components frequently and immediately replace any parts that show

signs of wear, or that are cracked or broken. Use original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM)

parts only, as listed in this manual.

• When it is not in use, store the mower indoors in a dry area, locked up or out of the reach of

children.

DOUBLE INSULATED LAWN MOWER

Double insulation eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord and

grounded power supply system. Wherever there is electric current in the mower, there are two

complete sets of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the

internal metal motor components by protecting insulation.

IMPORTANT

Servicing a lawn mower with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,

and should only be performed by a qualied service technician. If repairs are required, call the toll-

free helpline, at 1-888-909-6757. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

WARNING

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!

To restrict the use of this mower to people who have read and understand the warnings and

instructions that appear in this manual and on the mower and who will follow them.

Slope gauge

• Mow across the face of a slope and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when

changing direction on a slope.

• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the bail

switch immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or

balance.

• Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15°, as determined using the slope

gauge.

• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.

WARNING

Do not mow a slope that has an angle greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2 1/2’ [0.75 m]

every 10’ [3 m]). Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down.

SAFETY INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL

WARNING

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in

the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is

120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct current

(DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the

product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an

extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to

determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed

by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use.

This type of cord is designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service center.

It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming

disconnected during use. Make the knot as shown in the gure, then connect the plug end of the

power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also be used to tie

two extension cords together.
