Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this lawn mower.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WORK AREA SAFETY
„ To avoid bystander contact with the moving blade or a
thrown object injury, keep the area of operation clear of
all bystanders, particularly small children. Stop the lawn
mower and any attachment(s) if anyone enters the
area. Contact with the moving blade or thrown objects
may result in serious personal injury or death.
„ Only operate the lawn mower in daylight or good
artificial light. Dark areas invite accidents.
„ Do not operate lawn mowers in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Lawn mowers create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
„ Do not use the lawn mower in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
„ Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawn mower
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires,
bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can
cause personal injury.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
„ Do not expose the lawn mower to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a lawn mower may increase the
risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
„ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment will reduce personal
injuries.
„ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
„ While operating the lawn mower, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury
from thrown objects.
„ While operating the lawn mower, always wear non-
slip and protective footwear. Do not operate the lawn
mower when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This
reduces the chance of injury to the feet from contact with
the moving blade.
LAWN MOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
„ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or batteries, picking up or carrying the lawn
mower. Carrying a lawn mower with your finger on the
switch or energizing a lawn mower that has the switch
on invites accidents.
„ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the lawn mower on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the lawn mower may result in personal
injury.
„ Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the lawn mower in unexpected
situations.
„ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a lawn mower. Do not
use a lawn mower while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating a lawn mower may result
in serious personal injury.
„ Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of lawn
mower allow you to become complacent and ignore
lawn mower safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
„ To avoid operator blade contact or a thrown object in-
jury, stay in the operator zone behind the lawn mower
handles. Blade contact or thrown objects may result in
serious personal injury.
„ Do not touch blades and other hazardous moving
parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the
risk of injury from moving parts.
LAWN MOWER USE AND CARE
„ Use the lawn mower and accessories in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the lawn mower for operations different from those
intended may result in a hazardous situation.
„ Before using the lawn mower, always visually inspect
to see that the blade(s) and the blade(s) assembly are
properly secured and not worn or damaged. Loose,
worn, or damaged parts may increase the risk of injury.
„ Keep guards and other safety devices in place, prop-
erly mounted, and in working order. A guard or other
safety device that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning
correctly may result in personal injury.
„ Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. Blocked air
inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of fire.
„ Do not use the lawn mower if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any lawn mower that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
„ Do not operate the lawn mower in wet grass. Walk,
never run. This reduces the risk of slipping and falling
which may result in personal injury.
