St Stopping

Do not switch on the lawn mower until it has been completely 

assembled. Before switching on the unit, always check the 

appliance cord and the extension cord for signs of damage. 

Use only intact cords.  

m

WARNING!

 Damaged cords pose a severe risk of injury. 

Replace damaged cords immediately.

m

WARNING!

 Before switching on the lawn mower, make 

sure that it is not in contact with any foreign objects. Keep 

your hands and feet a safe distance away from the rotating 

mower blade and the ejector opening. Failure to comply with 

these warnings can result in severe personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the lawn mower in tall grass.

1.  Place the unit on a level lawn surface. 
2.  Push a loop of the extension cord through the slot on the 

extension cord restraint holder from the opposite side and 

around the cord restraint hook. Insert the appliance cord 

into the extension cord (Fig. 9).

NOTE: Do not plug the extension cord into the outlet until it 

had been secured with the extension cord restraint holder and 

connected to the lawn mower's appliance cord. Only use a 

UL-rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use. Do not 

use an extension cord over 100 ft (30 m). See Extension Cord 

Chart on page 2.

3.  Place the bulk of the extension cord on the lawn closest to 

the starting point.

4.  Before starting the lawn mower, hold the handle assembly 

with both hands and tilt the handle downward to slightly 

raise the front of the lawn mower. This will reduce the risk 

of lawn damage during start-up (Fig. 10). 

5.  To start the lawn mower, press and hold the safety lock 

button while pulling the switch bar lever toward you. Once 

the machine powers on, release the safety lock button 

(Fig. 11).
