DANGER
This machine was built to be operated according to the rules
for safe operation included in this manual. As with any type
of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the
operator can result in serious injury. This machine is
capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.
Failure to observe all safety instructions could result in
serious injury or death.
NOTE
When using electric lawn mowers, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury. These basic precautions include
the following:
2.1
CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children or bystanders.
•
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children, and pets.
•
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
your vision of a child or bystander. Keep children,
bystanders, helpers and pets at least 100 feet (30m) from
the mower while it is in operation. Stop the machine if
anyone enters the area.
•
Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a
power mower. Operators 14 years old and over should
fully read and understand the operator’s manual and
safety rules. Only responsible individuals who are
familiar with these rules of safe operation should be
allowed to use this machine.
2.2
GENERAL OPERATION
•
Read this operator’s manual carefully in its entirety
before assembling or operating this machine. Read,
understand, and follow all instructions on the machine
and in the manuals before operation. Familiarize yourself
with the controls and proper use of this machine before
operation. Save this manual for future and regular
reference.
•
Do not use the lawn mower for any job except that for
which it is intended. Your lawn mower has been designed
to perform only one job: cut grass.
•
Never attempt to make a wheel height adjustment while
the motor is running.
•
Don’t force the lawn mower, it will do the job better and
more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
•
Don’t overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being
pulled over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or
tripping. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury.
If you feel you are losing your footing, release the control
handle immediately and the blade will stop rotating
within three seconds.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and
other foreign objects.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up
or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with
your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that
have the switch on invites accidents.
•
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 you to avoid
tripping, and then follow these steps:
•
Step back from the mower in order to fully extend
your arms.
•
Be sure that you are well balanced.
•
Pull the mower back slowly.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
