warning:
When using electric lawn
mowers, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury, including
the following:
warning:
Risk of injury could occur if the
lawn mower is operated without the catcher
assembly attached.
warning:
the use of any other accessory or
attachment might increase the risk of injury
caution:
For battery-operated lawn
mowers, use only identical replacement
batteries and specifying the battery type
and manufacturer, and devices for retaining
extension cords are available.
for all double-inSulated lawn
MowerS
1) replacement parts:
When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
2) polarized appliance connections
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other) and will require the use
of a polarized extension cord. The appliance
plug will fit into a polarized extension cord
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized
extension cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This
plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not change
the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way.
for all lawn MowerS
1) Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don’t use
lawn mowers in damp or wet locations.
2) Don’t Use In Rain.
3) keep Children Away - All visitors should be
kept a safe distance from work area.
4) 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.
5) Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or
dust mask if operation is dusty.
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.
8)
warning
- To prevent electric shock
use only with an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
9) 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. For lengths less than
feet ____No. ____AWG extension cord
should be used. 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
gage. The smaller the gage number the
heavier the cord.) To reduce the likelihood
of disconnection of lawn mower cord from
the cord set during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1, or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
10) Don’t Abuse Cord - Never pull lawn mower
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. keep cord from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
11) Don’t Force Lawn Mower - It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
12) Don’t Overreach - keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
13) Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate lawn
mower when you are tired.
