IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6) Use Right Appliance – Do not use lawn mower for any job except that for which it
is intended.
7) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s)
or outlet(s) to be used for the lawn mower. Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
WARNING!
To prevent electric shock use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use, such as SW, SOW, STW, STOW, SJW, SJOW, SJTW, or SJTOW.
8) Extension Cord – Make sure your extension cord set is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. (NOTE: Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.)

To reduce the likelihood of disconnection of lawn mower cord from the extension
cord during operating, use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors described in this manual.
9) Handle cord carefull – Never pull lawn mower by cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
10) Don't Force Lawn Mower – It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
11) Don't overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12) Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate
lawn mower when you are tired.
13) Disconnect Lawn Mower – Disconnect the lawn mower from the power supply
when not in use, before servicing, when changing accessories such as blades,
and the like.
14) Store Idle Lawn Mower Indoors – When not in use, lawn mower should be stored
in an indoor dry and locked-up place – out of reach of children.
15) Maintain Lawn Mower with Care – Keep cutting edges sharp and clean for best
and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect lawn mower cord periodically and if damaged, have it repaired by an
authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
