16 MOWING Operation Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others. To reduce the possibility of disconnecting the lawn mower from the extension cord, ensure that the cord restraint system is used. For a healthy plot of grass, only cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings. Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper mulching of grass clippings. New or thick grass may require a narrower cut. Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated debris. 2 3 4 AFTER USE Switch the product off and let it cool down. Check, clean and store the product as described below. 1 WARNING: For your safety, it is required that the plug attached to the lawn mower is always connected to an extension cord. The extension cord must be suitable for outdoor use with sockets protected against water splashing. The extension cord must always be used with the cord restraint system (16). WARNING: If the product strikes a foreign object, stop the engine. Switch the product off, disconnect it from the power supply and let it cool down. Inspect the product thoroughly for damage.

21 DOUBLE INSULATION Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools that eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double-insulated tools do not need to be grounded. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. Electrical Information GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the product. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety. GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service centre for repair. Always demand that original factory replacement parts be used when servicing. WARNING: The double-insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electric shock.

22 Electrical Information Ampere Rating Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG) (when using 120 V only) Total Length of Cord in Feet (metres) More Than Not More Than 25' (7.6 m) 50' (15 m) 100' (30.4 m) 150' (45.7 m) 0 6 18 16 16 14 6 10 18 16 14 12 10 12 16 16 14 12 12 16 14 12 Not Recommended When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) should be used. When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with WA on the cord s jacket. Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make knot as shown above, then connect the plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two extension cords together. WARNING: Although this tool is double insulated, the extension cord and receptacle must still be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. WARNING: Check extension cord before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use product with a damaged cord. Touching the damaged area could cause electric shock, resulting in serious injury.

23 READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS This cutting machine is capable of severing hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety instructions could result in serious injury or death. Do not use the lawn mower in damp or wet conditions or operate in the rain. Never allow adults to operate the product without proper instruction. Keep the area clear of all bystanders, children, and pets while mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator. Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area. Never allow children to operate the machine. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance. Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces. Do not leave the mower unattended while it is running. Keep hands and feet away from cutting area. Operate the lawn mower only in daylight or good artificial light. Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use face mask if conditions are dusty. Wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard when operating this product. Use the right appliance. Do not use the lawn mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Do not force the lawn mower. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the lawn mower. Do not operate the mower while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the lawn mower may result in serious personal injury. Keep machine in good working condition. Keep blades sharp and guards in place and in working order. Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

When not in use, mower should be stored indoors in a dry, locked-up place out of the reach of children. Important Safety Instructions

24 Important Safety Instructions To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only 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 wall 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. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to pull the lawn mower or to disconnect the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 (15.24 m) feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. 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. WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJT-A, SJTW-A,or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. 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. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil or grease. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES Do not operate the mower without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard, rear guard, or other safety protective devices in place and working. Follow manufacturer s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer. Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, sticks, wire, bones, toys, or other objects which can be thrown by the blade. Stay behind the handle when the motor is running. Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip-and-fall accident. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders, and the like. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip-and-fall accident. Walk, never run. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view.

25 Do not pull the mower backward unless absolutely necessary. If you must back the mower away from a wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid tripping. Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces. Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. The lawn should always be carefully examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing. If the lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these steps: Stop the lawn mower and release the switch lever. Disconnect the power cord. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair any damage before restarting and continuing to operate the mower. Stop the motor, disconnect the power cord, and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the chute. 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. Disconnect the plug from power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the lawn mower.
