SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of
at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
• WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTA,
SJTW-A,or SJTOWA. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil or grease.
• Do not operate the mower without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard, rear guard, or other
safety protective devices in place and working.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use
accessories approved by the manufacturer.
• Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, sticks, wire, bones, toys,
or other objects which can be thrown by the blade. Stay behind the handle when the motor is running.
• Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and
fall accident.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
• Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
• Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders,
and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction, which may cause the
material to ricochet back toward the operator.
• Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall
accident. Walk, never run.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block
your view.
