Z_WARNING: GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS
• THIS TOOL CAN BE DANGEROUS. Follow all warnings and Safety
Instructions in this manual. The operator is responsible for following
warnings and instructions in this manual and on unit. Restrict use of
this mower to persons who read, understand and follow warnings and
instructions in this manual and on unit.
• STORE IDLE MOWER INDOORS. Mowers should be stored indoors
in dry, secured area - out of reach of children.
• DON'T FORCE MOWER. It will do the job better and with less
likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT APPLIANCE. Do not use the mower for any job except
that for which it is intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can
be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves, long pants and substantial,
non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Use
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields, complying with
applicable safety standards and, when needed, a face shield. Also use
face or dust mask if operation is dusty. This applies to all persons in the
work area. Also use a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves, safety
shoes and dust collection systems when specified or required. Safety
glasses or the like are available at extra cost at your local dealer or
Black & Decker Service Center.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry mower by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
• MAINTAIN MOWER WITH CARE. Keep cutting edge clean and sharp
for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect mower cord
periodically and if damaged, have it repaired by authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in mower
with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• BEFORE USING, always visually inspect to see that the blade, blade
fasteners and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace
worn or damaged blades and fasteners in sets to preserve balance.
Inspect the mower cord - ensure it is in good condition. Cord insulation
must be intact with no cracks or deterioration.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, this mower has
polarized plug blades (one blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized extension cord. The mower 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. The extension cord
plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the extension
cord plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the
extension cord plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the mower plug, extension
cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or
deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating, which can
shorten the life of the motor. The table 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.

• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use, such
as an extension cord of type SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used for the mower.
Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be
used for this measure of safety.
• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the mower, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect their operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• REPAIRS AND SERVICE. Repairs, maintenance and any
adjustments not specified in this manual should be performed by
Black & Decker authorized service centers or other qualified service
organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
