WARNING

Read all safety warnings and instructions. When using

electric lawn mowers, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, damage and injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your 120V operated (corded) lawn mower.

a) 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, the lawn mower has a polarized plug (one blade is 
wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The 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. The 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.
