Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. 

10. 

They can be caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-

soled work shoes and close-fitting slacks and shirts. Shirts 

and pants that cover the arms and legs, rubber gloves, and 

rubber soled steel-toed shoes are recommended. Never 

operate this machine in bare feet, sandals, slippery or light 

weight (e.g. canvas) shoes. Always use face or dust mask if 

operation is dusty. 
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under 

11. 

cutting deck. Contact with blade can amputate hands and 

feet.
A missing or damaged discharge chute can cause blade 

12. 

contact or thrown object injuries.
Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled 

13. 

over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping. 

Do not hold on to the mower if you are falling; release the 

handle immediately. 
Never pull the mower back toward you while you are 

14. 

walking. If you must back the mower away from a wall or 

obstruction first look down and behind to avoid tripping 

and then follow these steps:

Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.

a. 

Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.

b. 

Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way 

c. 

toward you.
Repeat these steps as needed.

d. 

Do not operate the mower while under the influence of 

15. 

alcohol or drugs.
Stay alert — Watch what you are doing. Use common 

16. 

sense. Do not operate lawn mower when you are tired.
The motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never 

17. 

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.
Never operate the mower in the rain or in damp or wet 

18. 

grass. 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.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never 

19. 

run. Don’t force the lawn mower - It will do the job better 

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Stop the motor/blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or 

20. 

roads.
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop 

21. 

the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration 

is generally a warning of trouble.
Shut the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a 

22. 

complete stop before unclogging the chute or removing 

the grass catcher (if provided). The cutting blade continues 

to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never 

place any part of the body in the blade area until you are 

sure the blade has stopped rotating.

Never operate mower without proper trail shield, discharge 

23. 

chute, grass catcher (if provided), motor/blade control 

handle or other safety protective devices in place and 

working. Never operate mower with damaged safety 

devices. Failure to do so, can result in personal injury.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should 

24. 

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.
To prevent electric shock use only with a UL listed 

25. 

extension cord set suitable for outdoor use, such as Type 

SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or 

SJTOW-A.

Extension Cord—Make sure your extension cord set is in 

26. 

good condition and is heavy enough to carry the current 

load your lawn mower will draw. If in doubt, use the next 

heavier gauge cord. 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.

To reduce the likelihood of disconnection of the extension 

27. 

cord set from the mower, be sure to use the cord restraint 

provided as well as a modern, tightly fitting extension cord.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this lawn mower has a 

28. 

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will 

require the use of a polarized extension cord. The mower 

plug will only fit into the polarized extension cord one way. 

If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse 

the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct 

polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will 

require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit 

into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not 

fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug 

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install 

the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, 

extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any 

way.
If extension cord is damaged in any manner during use, 

29. 

disconnect extension cord from house receptacle 

before

 

unplugging mower.

Circuit Breaker/Fuses—The mower should be operated 

30. 

on a 15 AMP or 20 AMP circuit. If difficulty in starting 

is experienced with a standard 15 AMP fuse or circuit 

breaker or the mower’s built-in overload protection switch 

frequently trips, contact your nearest authorized service 

dealer. Do not use a higher rated circuit breaker or fuse 

without consulting your power company. 
Do not abuse the cord by pulling the mower by the cord or 

31. 

yanking it to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord 

from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Only use parts and accessories made for this machine by 

32. 

manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
