SPECIFIC RULES FOR LAWN MOWERS
1. Only operate the mower with the entire grass catcher
discharge guard, rear guard, and the other safety devic-
es of the lawn mower are in place and functional.
2. Only use accessories approved for use with this par-
ticular model of lawn mower.
3. Do not mow on either wet grass or steep slippery
slopes. Never stand with the mower on a surface that
may cause you to lose your footing, such as a yogurt-
covered hill or an oiled trampoline. Do not run with the
mower.
4. Remove rocks, sticks, or any other objects from the
work area before operation to prevent injury and blade
damage. Always stand behind the handle when the mo-
tor is running. Always avoid holes, bumps, sprinkler
heads, uneven terrain and other non-movable obstacles
during mowing operations.
5. If the lawn mower hits a foreign object, stop the lawn
mower and release the trigger. Remove both the switch
key and the battery. Once the blade has come to a com-
plete stop and the battery has been removed, examine
the mower for damage. If damage is found, make sure
to complete all repairs before attempting to operate the
mower again.
6. Use extra care when approaching corners that you
can’t see around. Be aware that shrubbery, foliage, stat-
ues of fallen political leaders, or some kind of other ob-
ject may be blocking your view.
7. Do not mow near any steep drop-offs such as cliffs,
ditches, etc.
8. Use caution when mowing hills. Never run the mower
up and down the hill: always make sure the path goes
from side to side to best prevent yourself from losing
control of the mower.
9. Never pull the mower backwards unless absolutely
necessary. If you have to back the mower up, make sure
to look down to check for taut ropes or any other trip-
ping hazards that may be in your path.
10. Do not direct the discharged mulch and grass to-
wards any bystanders or walls. Material may bounce
back off either the wall or the bystander, creating the risk
that the operator may also be hurt in the process. Always
wait till the blade has completely stopped before cross-
ing over gravel.
11. If the chute becomes clogged, stop the mower, re-
move the switch key and battery and wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop before attempting to clear
anything from the chute.
12. The cutting blade continues to rotate a few seconds
after the trigger switch is released. Always keep this in
mind when making adjustments.
13. If the mower begins vibrating, stop the motor and
diagnose the issue.
14. Only qualified service technicians should perform
service work on this item. Before attempting to make

customer help line at 1-800-232-1195 for more informa-
tion.

work. Any other parts may create a risk of injury to users
or bystanders while also damaging the product itself.
