Read All Instructions
 This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and
feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety
instructions could result in serious injury or death.
 Avoid dangerous environment — Do not use the lawn
mower in damp or wet conditions or operate in the rain.
 Keep children away — Keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 100 ft. away. Stop machine if anyone enters
the area.
 Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a
child.
 Dress properly — Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves,
gloves, and protective footwear that will protect your feet
and improve your footing on slippery surfaces. Do not
wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals, or go
barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind. They can be
caught in moving parts.
 Don't overreach — Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
 Do not leave the mower unattended while running or with
the start key installed.
 Keep hands and feet away from cutting area. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times.
 Operate the lawn mower only in daylight or good artificial
light.
 Use safety glasses — Always wear eye protection with
side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Use face
mask if operation is dusty.
 Use the right appliance — Do not use the lawn mower
for any job except that for which it is intended.
 Do not force the lawn mower — It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
 Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in wet locations.
 Stay alert — Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the lawn mower. Do not operate
the mower while tired, upset or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the lawn mower may result in serious
personal injury.
 Maintain lawn mower with care — Keep machine in good
working condition. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Keep blades sharp and guards in place
and in working order. Replace damaged or unevenly worn
blades before using mower for best performance.
 Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the
blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing
them.
 Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
 Stop the motor, wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop, and remove the start key and battery pack before
performing any maintenance, cleaning the lawn mower,
removing the grass catcher, or removing the mulching
plug.
 Never use a hose, water, or any liquids to clean or
rinse off the lawn mower. Corrosive liquids, water,
fertilizers, and chemicals used to treat lawns can enter
the lawn mower and/or battery compartment and damage
electronic components and/or the battery pack, which
can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and
serious personal injury. Remove any buildup of grass
and leaves on or around the mower housing and/or
underneath the mower deck. Wipe the mower clean with
a dry cloth occasionally.
 Replace blade if it is bent or cracked. An unbalanced
blade causes vibration that could damage the motor
drive unit or cause personal injury. Sharpen a dull blade
equally at each end to maintain the balance. Clean the
blade thoroughly and check its balance by supporting
it horizontally on a thin nail through its center hole. The
nail should be in a horizontal position. If either end of
the blade rotates downward, remove some metal from
the heavy or lower end until the blade is balanced. It is
balanced when neither end drops.
 Always use safety protective devices. Do not operate the
mower without the entire grass bag or mulching plug and
rear discharge door in place and working properly.
 Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
 Follow manufacturer's instructions for proper operation
and installation of accessories. Only use accessories
approved by the manufacturer.
 Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,
