GENERAL SAFETY RULES
■ 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
from 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. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction, which may cause the
material to ricochet back toward the operator.
■ 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.
■ Do not pull the mower backward unless absolutely necessary. If you must back the mower away
■ 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 control.
• Disconnect the power cord.
