follow the warningsand instructions that are printed in this manual and on the mower.

•

 Carefully read all instructions on the mower and in the manual before attempting to assemble 

and operate the mower. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference, and consult it 

regularly.

•

 Become familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the mower and 

how to disengage the power in an emergency.

•

 In order to avoid contact with the blade or injury caused by a thrown object, stay in the 

operating zone behind the handles, and keep children and bystanders at least 50 ft.(15 m) 

away from the mower while it is in operation. Stop the motor immediately if someone enters 

the mowing area.

•

 Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, 

toys, and other objects that could be tripped over or thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can 

cause serious personal injury.

•

 Plan your mowing pattern in such a way as to avoid discharging material toward roads, 

sidewalks, bystanders, etc. Do not discharge material against a wall or obstruction. Doing so 

may cause the discharged material to ricochet back toward the operator.

•

 Always wear proper eye protection in order to protect your eyes while operating or performing 

any adjustment or repair. Thrown objects that ricochet can cause serious eye injury.

•

 Always wear a face mask or a dust mask when operating the mower in a dusty environment.

•

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can get caught in moving parts. The 

wearing of protective gloves and safety footwear is recommended.

•

 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.

•

 Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the operator's foot during a 

fall caused by slipping or tripping. Do not operate this mower in bare feet, or while wearing 

sandals or lightweight (e.g.:canvas) shoes. 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 

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.

•

 Do not use the mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Do not force the mower.

•

 Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade 

can amputate hands and feet.

•

 Do not attempt to adjust the wheels or the cutting height while the motor is running.

•

 Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the mower in the rain or in wet or damp grass.
