• Never pull the mower back toward you while you are
walking. If you must back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction, first look down and behind you 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.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Before and while moving backwards with the mower,
look behind and down for small children and other
people.
• Do not operate the mower while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Stay alert and watch what you are doing
at all times. Use common sense and do not operate the
lawn mower when you are tired.
• Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during
operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes. Thrown objects that ricochet can cause
serious injury to the eyes. Always use a face or dust mask
if the operation is dusty.
• Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. Do not
put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting
deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands and feet.
• Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material
toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against walls or obstructions,
which may cause discharged material to ricochet back
toward the operator.
• To help avoid the blade or an injury from a thrown
objects, stay in the operator zone behind the handles.
• A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade
contact or injuries from thrown objects.
• Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe
injuries to persons. The lawn should always be carefully
examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing.
• Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or
roads.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
• If lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these steps:
• Release the bail switch to disengage the motor.
• Remove the battery.
• Inspect for damage.
• Repair any damaged parts before restarting and
operating the lawn mower.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.

can be caught in moving parts. Use of safety gloves and
proper footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting
slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that cover the arms and
legs and steel-toed shoes are recommended. Never
operate this machine in bare feet, sandals, slippery or
lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes.

battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Avoid dangerous environments, do not use the lawn
mower in damp/wet locations or if it is raining.
• Store Idle Lawn Mower Indoors – When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or
locked-up place – out of reach of children. Always
remove the battery from the mower before storing.
• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never
run while operating.
• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
immediately stop the motor, remove the battery and check
for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning that the
machine is not functioning properly.
• Check bag frequently for deterioration and wear, and
replace worn bags. Check that replacement bags comply
with the original manufacturer's recommendations or
specifications.
• Before cleaning the machine, unclogging or removing the
grass bag, mulching insert, or side discharge chute, turn
the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a
complete stop, then remove the battery pack. The cutting
blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor
is shut off. Never perform these functions until you are
sure the blade has stopped rotating.
• Keep cutting edges clean and sharp to ensure best
performance.
• Periodically inspect safety devices and cords for damage.
If damaged do not operate the unit until it has been
repaired by an authorized service professional.
• Never operate the mower without the proper discharge
cover, grass bag, mulching insert, side discharge chute, or
other safety devices in place and working. Never operate
the mower with damaged safety devices. Failure to do so
can result in personal injury.
• Use only approved batteries and chargers. Non approved
batteries and chargers may cause damage to the mower or
injure the operator.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cells could
catch fire or explode. Check with local codes and waste
management for proper disposal instructions.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips,coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
