◾
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.
◾
Never operate the appliance with defective guards
or shields, or without safety devices, for example
deflectors and/or grass catchers, in place.
◾
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
immediately and the blade will stop rotating within
three seconds.
◾
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or
roads.
◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the motor and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
◾
Inspect for damage;
◾
Replace or repair any user replaceable damaged
parts;
◾
Check for and tighten any loose parts.
◾
Never operate the mower without the proper trailing
shield, discharge cover, grass bag, mulching insert,
side discharge chute, motor/blade control handle or
other safety protective devices in place and working.
Never operate the mower with damaged safety
devices. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
◾

◾
The battery pack must be removed from the appliance
before it is scrapped.
◾
The battery shall be disposed of safely.
OPERATION ON A SLOPE:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall acci-
dents, which can result in severe injury. Always be sure of
your footing on slopes. Operation on slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Do:
◾
Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
◾
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which
can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Do not:
◾
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments;
you could lose your footing or balance.
◾
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
◾
Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could
cause slipping.
