from the tool. Stop the blade(s) if the appliance has to be

OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATION:
◾
Read this operator's manual carefully in its entirety
before attempting to assemble this machine. Read,
understand, and follow all instructions on the machine
and in the manuals before operation. Be completely
familiar with the controls and proper use of this
machine before operating it. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future and regular reference and for ordering
replacement parts.
◾
Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower
for any job except that for which it is intended.
◾
Don't overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
◾
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.
◾
Before and while moving backwards, look behind and
down for small children and other people.
◾
This machine is not a plaything. Therefore, exercise
extreme caution at all times. Your unit has been
designed to perform one job: to mow grass. Do not use
it for any other purpose.
◾
Don't force the lawn mower – it will do the job better
and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
◾
Before using, always visually inspect to see that the
blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts
and any other components at the same time to preserve
balance. Replace damaged or unreadable labels.
◾
Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
appliance towards you.
◾
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, toys and other
foreign objects that could be tripped over or picked up
and thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can cause
serious personal injury. 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 blade contact or an injury from thrown
objects, stay in the operator zone behind the handles
and keep children, bystanders, helpers and pets at
10

least 30m from the mower while it is in operation. Stop
the machine if anyone enters the area.
◾
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.
◾
Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber
gloves and footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and
close-fitting trousers and shirts. Shirts and trousers
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.
◾
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under
the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can injure
hands and feet.
◾
A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause
blade contact or injuries from thrown objects.
◾
Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being
pulled over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or
tripping. Do not hold onto the mower if you are falling,
release the handle immediately.
◾
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 to avoid
tripping and then following these steps:
◾
Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
◾
Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
◾
Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way
toward you.
◾
Repeat these steps as needed.
◾
Do not operate the mower while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
◾
Stay alert – watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the lawn mower when you are tired.
◾
The motor/blade control handle is a safety device.
Never attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so
makes the safety device inoperative and may result
in personal injury through contact with the rotating
blade. The motor/blade control handle must operate
easily in both directions and automatically return to the
disengaged position when released.
◾
Avoid dangerous environments – Don't use lawn
mowers in damp or wet locations.
◾
Don't use in rain.
◾
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can
cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing
your footing, release the motor/blade control handle
