2. Become familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the mower and
how to disengage the power in an emergency.
3. Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this mower. Children who are 14 years of
age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and the safety rules in this
manual, and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
4. Do not allow anyone to operate this mower until they have read and understand the instructions.
5. In order to avoid contact with the blade or injury caused by a thrown object, stay in the
operator's zone behind the handles, and keep children and bystanders at least 100' (30 m) away
from the mower while it is in operation. Stop the motor immediately if someone enters the
mowing area.
6. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire,
bones, toys, and other foreign objects that could be tripped over or thrown by the blade. Thrown
objects can cause serious personal injury.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Always wear a face mask or a dust mask when operating the mower in a dusty environment.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can get caught in moving parts.
The wearing of protective gloves and safety footwear is recommended.
11. As an added safety measure, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) that will be used to power the lawn mower.
12. In order to prevent electric shock, use this mower only with a CSA/CUL listed extension cord
that is approved for outdoor use, such as Type SW–A, SOW–A, STW–A, STOW–A, SJW–A,
SJOW–A, SJTW–A, or SJTOW–A.
13. Extension Cord: Verify that the extension cord is in good condition, is heavy enough to carry
the current that your mower will draw, and is polarized (one blade of the plug is wider than the
other). A 50' (15 m) extension cord should be of 16 AWG, a 100' (30 m) extension cord should
be 14 AWG, and a 150' (45 m) extension cord should be 12 AWG. Undersized cords cause a
drop in the line voltage, which leads to a loss of power and overheating.
14. In order to reduce the likelihood of disconnecting the lawn mower from the extension cord, be
sure to use the cord restraint provided, as shown in the illustration below:
15. In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, this lawn mower is equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other), and must be used with a polarized extension cord. The
lawn mower's plug will only fit into the polarized extension cord one way. If the plug does not fit
into the extension cord properly, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a proper
polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord must be plugged into a polarized wall
outlet. This plug will only fit into the polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit into the
outlet properly, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a proper outlet. Do not alter the lawn mower's plug, the receptacle on the extension
cord, or the plug on the extension cord in any way.
16. Household circuit: This mower is designed to operate on a 15 A circuit. If the mower has
difficulty starting when connected to a circuit that contains a standard 15 A fuse or circuit
breaker, call the toll-free helpline (1 866 523-5218). Do not use a fuse or circuit breaker with
higher rating than that specified for your particular branch circuit. .
