b) FOR ALL LAWN MOWERS
1) Avoid dangerous environment - Don't use lawn
mowers in damp or wet locations.
2) Don't use in rain.
3) Keep children away - All visitors should be kept
a safe distance from work area.

or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Use of rubber gloves and footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
5) Use safety glasses - Always use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty.
6) Use right appliance - Do not use lawn mower
for any job except that for which it is intended.
7) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

9) Extension Cord - Make sure your extension
cord set is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. For lengths less than _25/50___feet,
No. __16/16__AWG extension cord should be
used. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. (NOTE: Table 1 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number the heavier the cord.) To reduce the
likelihood of disconnection of lawn mower cord
from the cord set during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1, or
iI) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps
or connectors described in this manual.

cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
