8. Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging
material against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back
.
.
toward the operator. Release switch lever to turn mower off and
stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces or when flipping the
handle.
9. Do not operate mower without the entire grass catcher, discharge
guard, rear guard, or other safety protective devices in place and
working. Periodically check all guards and safety protective devices
to ensure they are in good working order and will operate properly
and perform their intended function. Replace a damaged guard or
other safety device before further use.
10. Never leave a running mower unattended.
11. Always release the switch lever to stop the motor and wait until the
blade comes to a complete stop and unplug the mower before
cleaning the mower, removing the grass catcher, unclogging the
discharge guard, when leaving the mower, or before making any
adjustments, repairs or inspections.
12. Operate mower only in daylight or good artificial light when objects
in the path of the blade are clearly visible from the operating area
of the mower.
13. Do not operate mower while under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, or when you are tired or ill. Always stay alert, watch what
you are doing, and use common sense.
14. Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate mower in damp or
wet grass, never use mower in the rain. Always be sure of your
footing; walk; never run.
15. Disengage the drive system, if so equipped, before starting the
motor.
16. If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release the switch
lever, wait for the blade to stop and unplug the mower, then check
for the cause immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
17. Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection when operating
the mower.
18. The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended for use
with this mower could be hazardous. Only use accessories
approved by Black & Decker.
19. Never overreach while operating the mower. Always be sure to keep
proper footing and balance at all times while operating the mower.
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can
result in severe injury. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects.
Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
3. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing
could cause a slip and fall accident.
4. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could
lose your footing or balance.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence
of children. Children are often attracted to the mower and the mowing
activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw
them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care
of a responsible adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the mower.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or
other objects that may block your view of a child.
