manufacturer’s (OEM) parts only, listed in this manual.

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.
