— Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery cartridge may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery cartridge.
— Do not charge lawn mower in rain, or in
wet locations.
— When replacing batteries, all batteries
should be replaced at the same time.
Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could
increase internal cell pressure and rupture
the discharged battery.
— Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery cartridges. Use of any
other battery cartridges may create a risk of
injury and fire.
— When battery cartridge is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
— Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
18. Use identical replacement blades only.
19. This cutting machine is capable of amputating
hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to
observe the following safety instructions could

20. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar
with the instruction, to operate the mower.
21. Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing. Stop mower if anyone enters the area.
22. 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.

lutely necessary. When you are compelled to back
the mower from a fence or other similar obstruc-
tion, look down and behind before and while mov-
ing backwards.
24. Release switch lever and wait for blade rotation
to stop before crossing driveways, walks, roads
and any gravel-covered areas. Also remove key if
you leave it, reach to pick up or remove something
out of your way, or for any other reason that may
distract you from what you are doing.
25. Do not operate machine without the entire grass
catcher, discharge guard, rear guard, or other
safety protective devices in place and working.
26. Stop the motor and remove the key whenever you
leave the equipment, before cleaning the mower
or unclogging the chute and making any repairs or
inspections.
27. Shut the motor off and wait until the blade comes
to a complete stop before removing the grass
catcher. Beware that the blades coast after turn
off.
28. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
29. Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive
clutch on the mower so equipped before starting
the motor.

33. Check the blades carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blades immediately.
34. Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments
while mower is running.
35. Check the grass basket frequently for wear or
deterioration. For storage, always make sure the
grass basket is empty. Replace a worn grass bas-
ket with a new factory replacement one for safety.
36. Check grass basket components and the dis-
charge guard frequently and replace with manu-
facturer's recommended parts, when necessary.
37. Mow across the face of slopes, never up and
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep
slopes.
38. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip
and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
39. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep
slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall
accident.
40. Do not wash with a hose; avoid getting water in
motor and electrical connections.

vals for proper tightness.
42. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
