READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
This machine was built to be operated according to
the rules for safe operation included in this manual. As
with any type of power equipment, carelessness or
error on the part of the operator can result in serious
injury. This machine is capable of amputating hands
and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe all
safety instructions could result in serious injury or
death.
When using electric lawn mowers, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. These
basic precautions include the following:
2.1
GENERAL OPERATION
•
Carefully read all instructions on the mower and in
the manual before attempting to assemble and
operate the mower. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference, and consult it regularly.
•
Become familiar with all controls and their proper
operation. Know how to stop the mower and how to
disengage the power in an emergency.
•
Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate
this mower. Children who are 14 years of age and
older must read and understand the operating

English
instructions and the safety rules in this manual, and
must be trained and supervised by a parent.
•
Do not allow anyone to operate this mower until they
have read and understand the instructions.
•
In order to avoid contact with the blade or injury
caused by a thrown object, stay in the operator's
zone behind the handles, and keep children and
bystanders at least 100 ft (30 m) away from the
mower while it is in operation. Stop the motor
immediately if someone enters the mowing area.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is
to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones,
toys, and other foreign objects that could be tripped
over or thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can
cause serious personal injury.
•
Plan your mowing pattern in such a way as to avoid
discharging material toward roads, sidewalks,
bystanders, etc. Do not discharge material against a
wall or obstruction. Doing so may cause the
discharged material to ricochet back toward the
operator.
•
Always wear proper eye protection in order to
protect your eyes while operating or performing any
adjustment or repair. Thrown objects that ricochet
can cause serious eye injury.
•
Always wear a face mask or a dust mask when
operating the mower in a dusty environment.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery that can get caught in moving parts. The
wearing of protective gloves and safety footwear is
recommended.
•
In order to prevent electric shock, use this mower
only with a CSA/UL listed extension cord that is
approved for outdoor use, such as Type SW–A,
SOW–A, STW–A, STOW–A, SJW–A, SJOW–A,
SJTW–A, or SJTOW–A.
•
Extension Cord: Verify that the extension cord is in
good condition, is the proper gauge to carry the
current that your mower will draw, and is polarized
(one blade of the plug is wider than the other). A
100 ft (30 m) extension cord should be of 14 gauge,
a 50 ft (15 m) extension cord should be 16 gauge,
and a 150 ft (45 m) extension cord should be 12
gauge. Undersized cords cause a drop in the line
voltage, which leads to a loss of power and
overheating.
•
In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, this
lawn mower is equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other), and must be used
with a polarized extension cord. The lawn mower's
plug will only fit into the polarized extension cord
one way. If the plug does not fit into the extension
cord properly, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit, obtain a proper polarized extension cord. A
polarized extension cord must be plugged into a
polarized wall outlet. This plug will only fit into the
polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit into
the outlet properly, reverse the plug. If the plug still
