out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE MOWER. It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT APPLIANCE. Do not use the mower for any job except that for which it is intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves, long pants and substantial, non-

use a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves, safety shoes and dust collection systems when specified or required. Safety glasses or the like are

• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry charger by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• MAINTAIN MOWER WITH CARE. Keep cutting edge clean and sharp for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect mower cord periodically and if damaged, have it repaired by authorized service facility. Keep handles
dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Donʼt carry mower with safety key inserted in switch housing. Be sure bail handle is not engaged while
inserting safety key.
• BEFORE USING, always visually inspect to see that the blade, blade fasteners and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or
damaged blades and fasteners in sets to preserve balance. Inspect the mower cord - ensure it is in good condition. Cord insulation must be intact
with no cracks or deterioration.
• USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the lawn mower – that is, proper
wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the lawn mower 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.
