Service
1. When servicing use only identical replacement parts
listed in this manual. “Use of parts which do not meet the
original equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!”
2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain
the blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect
the power cord when not in use to prevent unintended
starting.
3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
4. Inspect lawn mower cord and extension cords
periodically and replace immediately, if damaged. Lawn
mower cord should be repaired by an authorized service
facility only.
5. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
6. To reduce a fire hazard, keep the motor free of grass,
leaves and debris build-up.
7. Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent
intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade
for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, and worn) Replace
blade with the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM)
blade only, listed in this manual.
8. Maintain your mower with care – Keep mower blade
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Mower
blades are sharp and can cut, wrap the blade or wear
gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.
9. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
10. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
11. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor and
disconnect the power cord. Thoroughly inspect the
mower for any damage. Repair the damage before
operating the mower.
12. Grass catcher components, discharge cover, and trail
shield are subject to wear and damage which could
expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For
safety protection, frequently check components and
replace immediately with original equipment
manufacturer’s (OEM) parts only, listed in this manual.
13. When not in use, store lawn mower indoors in a dry area,
locked-up and/or out of the reach of children.
Double Insulated Lawn Mower
Double insulation is a concept in the safety of electric lawn
mowers, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Wherever there is electric current in the mower, there are two
complete sets of insulation to protect the user. All exposed
metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation.
IMPORTANT:
Servicing of a lawn mower with double
insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician. For repair service we suggest you
return the lawn mower to your nearest authorized
service dealer. Always use original factory replacement
parts when servicing.
