• 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.
• 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 and damaged parts before restarting and
operating the lawn mower.
• Dress properly, do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
that 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.
• Avoid dangerous environments, do not use the lawn
mower in damp/wet locations or if it is raining.
• When not in use the mower should be store in a dry
and locked location. 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.
• 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.
English
• 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 the following 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.

contained within the battery are corrosive and may
cause damage to eyes or skin if released. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries to avoid shorting
the battery with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, keys, etc. The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause burns if contact with said
materials is made.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall
accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation
on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it.
Do:
• Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or
bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
Do not:
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments; you could lose your footing or
balance.
• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees, as
shown on the slope gauge.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could
cause slipping.
