SAFETY
Do not use the lawn mower for any job except that for which it is intended.
•
Your lawn mower has been designed to perform only one job: cut grass.
Never attempt to make a wheel height adjustment while the motor is
•
running.
Don't force the lawn mower; it will do the job better and more safely at the
•
rate for which it was designed.
Don't overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all times. Many
•
injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during
a fall caused by slipping or tripping. A slip and fall can cause serious
personal injury. If you feel you are losing your footing, release the control
handle immediately and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used and remove
all stones, sticks, wires, dog bones, and other foreign objects.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before connecting to battery, picking up or carrying the mower. Carrying
the mower with your finger on the switch or energizing mower that has the
switch on invites accidents.
• Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must
back the mower away from a wall or obstruction, first look down and
behind you to avoid tripping, and then follow these steps:
1. Step back from the mower in order to fully extend your arms.
2. Be sure that you are well balanced.
3. Pull the mower back slowly.
Remove the battery from the mower before making any adjustments,
•
changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the mower accidentally.
Before and while moving backwards with the mower, look behind and
•
down for small children and other people.
• Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Stay alert and watch what you are doing at all times. Use common sense
and do not operate the lawn mower when you are tired.
• Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while
performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects
that ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes. Always use a face or
dust mask if the operation is dusty.
• Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. Do not put hands or feet
near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can
amputate hands and feet.
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads,
•
sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material
against walls or obstructions, which may cause discharged material to
ricochet back toward the operator.
