GENERAL
OPERATION

and follow all instructions
on the mower and in
the instruction
manual before starting.
2.
Do not put hands or feet near or under the mower. Keep clear of
the discharge
opening at all times.
3. Only allow responsible
adults, who are familiar with the
instructions,
to operate this mower.
4. Clear the area where the mower is to be used of objects such as
rocks, sticks, wire, toys, bones, etc., which could be thrown by the
blade. Objects struck by the blade can cause severe injury to
persons. Stay behind the handle when the motor is running.
5. Be sure the area surrounding
the mower is clear of bystanders
before operating.
All bystanders
and pets should be kept at a safe
distance. Stop the mower if anyone enters the area surrounding
the mower.
6. Do not operate mower barefooted
or while wearing sandals.
Always wear substantial
footwear.
7. Do not pull mower backward
unless absolutely
necessary. Always
look down and behind before and while moving backward.
8. Never direct discharged
material toward anyone. Avoid discharging
material against a wall or obstruction.
Material may ricochet back
toward the operator. Release switch lever to turn mower off and
stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces or when flipping the
handle.
9. Do not operate mower without the entire grass catcher, discharge
guard, rear guard, or other safety protective devices in place and
working. Periodically
check all guards and safety protective devices
to ensure they are in good working order and will operate properly
and perform their intended function.
Replace a damaged guard or
other safety device before further use.
10. Never leave a running mower unattended.
11. Always release the switch lever to stop the motor and wait until the
blade comes to a complete
stop and unplug the mower before
cleaning the mower, removing the grass catcher, unclogging
the
discharge guard, when leaving the mower, or before making any
adjustments,
repairs or inspections.
12. Operate mower only in daylight or good artificial light when objects
in the path of the blade are clearly visible from the operating
area
of the mower.
13. Do not operate mower while under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, or when you are tired or ill. Always stay alert, watch what
you are doing, and use common sense.
14. Avoid dangerous
environments.
Never operate mower in damp or
wet grass, never use mower in the rain. Always be sure of your
footing; walk; never run.
15. Disengage
the drive system, if so equipped, before starting the
motor.

with this mower could be hazardous.
Only use accessories
approved by Black & Decker.
19. Never overreach while operating the mower. Always be sure to keep
proper footing and balance at all times while operating
the mower.
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents,
which can
result in severe injury. Operation
on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects.
Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
3. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively
steep slopes. Poor footing
could cause a slip and fall accident.
4. Do not mow near drop-offs,
ditches, or embankments.
You could
lose your footing or balance.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents
can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence
of children.
Children are often attracted to the mower and the mowing
activity. Never assume
that children will remain where you last saw
them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care
of a responsible
adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the mower.
4. Use extra care when approaching
blind corners, shrubs, trees, or
other objects that may block your view of a child.
