Before using the mower, take the time to familiarize yourself
with the controls, especially how to stop the mower in

instructions and who know how to operate the machine.
Children should never be allowed access to the mower.
Retain this manual for future reference and reread it at the start
of each mowing season.

entanglement, dismemberment or other serious bodily
injury. Always keep body parts (i.e. hands, feet) a safe
distance away from moving parts. Ensure all covers and
guards are securely in place before use.
Hot surfaces (i.e. the motor) may ignite ammable or
combustible items and cause a re or explosion, which
can result in serious bodily injury. Keep the mower a safe
distance away from ammable or combustible items until
surfaces that are hot have completely cooled. Do not store
the mower near ammable or combustible items.
A damaged blade or worn blade nut may break o the
mower assembly and cause serious injury. Replace the

masks) and proper clothing when using the mower. Loose
clothing, long hair or jewelry may get caught in the moving
parts.
4. Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower
for any applications other than those for which it was
