Carefully roll the mower out of the carton and place it on the
floor or ground.
Insert the ends of the lower handle half through the rubber
flaps at the sides of the mower shroud, as shown in Figure 2.
Under the rubber flaps are steel pins. You may have to
manually open the flaps in order to see the pins. Push the
handle half firmly against the pins until you feel it snap into
place.
FIGURE2
Fasten the upper and lower handle halves together using the
eye bolt (already installed on the power cord) and the
curvedhead bolt. Install one of the star washers and one of the
plastic knobs onto the threaded end of the eye bolt such that
the eye portion of the bolt is on the outside of the handle, as
shown in Figure 2. Tighten the knob firmly.
Install the curvedhead bolt from the outside of the handle on
the other side, as shown in Figure 2. Install the remaining star
washer and plastic knob on the threaded end of this bolt.
Examine the mower to ensure that both plastic knobs and star
washers are on the inside of the handle and the eye bolt is on
theoutside (on the same side of the mower as the switch) and
the head ofthe curvedhead bolt ison the outside ofthe handle.
Compare closely with Figure 2.
Use the plastic strap from the bag to hold the power cord
against the lower handle half. Just above the mower shroud
there is asmall hole on the inside surface of the lower handle
half. Wrap the plastic strap around the power cord and insert
the post into the hole in the handle, asshown in Figure 3. Push
firmly and you will feel it snap into place.
NOTE: The use of this strap is very important to prevent the
power cord from being trapped between the handle and the
mower deck.

DOUBLEINSULATION
Your Mower is DOUBLE INSULATED to give you added safety.
This means that it is constructed throughout with TWO separate
"layers" of electrical insulation or one DOUBLE thickness of insu-
lation between you and the tool's electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be
grounded. As a result, your mower is equipped with a two-prong
plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for
maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: DOUBLE INSULATION does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this mower. The insulation
system is for added protection against injury resulting from a
possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION:WHENSERVICINGALLTOOLS,
USEONLYIDENTICALREPLACEMENTPARTS.
REPAIRORREPLACEDAMAGEDCORDS.
Before using an extension cord, inspect in for loose or exposed
wires, damaged insulation, and defective fittings. Make any needed
repairs or replace the cord if necessary. Sears has extension cords
available that are U.L. listed for outdoor use.
OPERATORPRESENCECONTROL
Your mower is equipped with a special operator presence control.
To operate the control, insert your finger into the opening (A) in
Figure 6 and push the lever out so that you can grab it with your
other hand. Pull the lever back to turn the unit on and hold itagainst
the mower handle to keep it running. To turn the mower off, just
release the lever. The spring loaded "SNAP ACTION" lever will
quickly turn the mower off.
,_ CAUTION:NEVERATTEMPTTOOVERRIDE
THEOPERATIONOFTHISSWITCH.
EXTENSIONCORDS
Double insulated tools have 2 wire cords, and can be used with 2
wire or 3 wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension
cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension will be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord
marked as outdoor can also be used for indoor work. The letters
"WA" printed on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for
outdoor use.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or Ameri-
can Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. The smaller the gauge number ofthe wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size.
To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart
below:

MOWINGPROCEDURE
• Inspect area where mower is to be used and remove all
stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris which might be
thrown by the rotating blades.
•Place most of the extension cord close to the electrical outlet,
out of the path of the mower (Figure 11). CAUTION: Do not
plug extension cord into receptacle outlet while standing in
water or when hands are wet.
• Begin mowing in the area closest to the outlet and mow in a
back and forth manner (Figure 11). Use the cord control
hanger to move the cord to the outlet side of the mower as you
change directions. Note that cord is kept on cut portion of
lawn.

OPERATION
You are now ready to cut without mulching. The special mower
blade is designed to operate while discharging, bagging, or
mulching.
In order to install the Mulch Plate simply reverse the steps listed
above, rotating the plate counterclockwise as you insert it into the
mower deck, as shown in Figure !4. When it is in asfar as it will go,
turn the handle counterclockwise until the locking tab snaps into
place. Release the discharge chute making sure the chute snaps
into the full down position. These instructions are repeated on the
Mulch Plate itself.
FIGURE11
OTHERMOWINGTIPS
•Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow
excessively steep slopes. Always maintain good footing.
• Release switch toturn mower"OFF" when crossing any graveled
area (stones can be thrown by the blade).
• Set mower athighest cuttingheightwhen mowing inrough ground
or in tall weed.
• Fromtime totime turn offmower- UNPLUG CORD-turn mower
on its side. Using an object such as a stick, wipe out any
accumulation of grass in the blade area. Be careful of the sharp
edges of the blade. If a grass catcher is used during the fast
growing season, the grass may tend to clog up at the discharge
opening. Turn the switch "OFF" and disconnect the power cord
plug. Remove the catcher and shake the grass down to the back
end ofthe bag. Also clean out any grass or debris which may be
packed around the discharge opening. Replace the grass catcher.
Clean often in wet, spring grass.
• Ifmower should startto vibrate abnormally, turn mower"OFF"and
unplug power cord. Check immediately for cause. Vibration is a
warning oftrouble. Do not operate mower untila service check has
been made.
• ALWAYS TURN THE SWITCH OFF AND UNPLUG THE
MOWER WHEN LEAVING IT UNA'R'ENDED EVEN FOR A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
MULCHING
Your new mower is designed to re-cut the grass clippings many
times and reduce them in size sothat, as they fall into the lawn, they
will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched
grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the lawn.
Your mower was shipped with the Mulch Plate installed. To
remove the plate for side bagging or discharging as you mow,
follow the steps listed below.
1. Shut the mower off, wait until the blade stops and unplug the
mower.
2. Raise the discharge chute cover and hold it up.
3. Grasp the Mulch Plate handle, as shown in Figure 12 and pull
the locking tab out just enough to clear the lip on the mower
deck (about 1/2").
4. Pull the mulch plate out rotating it clockwise as it is removed,
as shown in Figure 13.
5. Pull the mulch plate out completely until the discharge chute
snaps back in place.

FIGURE14

MULCHINGMOWINGTIPS
For best performance, keep the mower housing free of built-up
grass and trash. Clean after each use. See CLEANING" in the
maintenance section of this manual.
Avoid cutting the lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form
clumps and they interfere with the mulching action. The best time
to mow your lawn is in the early afternoon. At this time the grass
isdried and the newly cut area will not be exposed to the direct sun.
For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting height so that the
lawn mower cuts off only the top one third ofthe grass blades. Ifthe
lawn is overgrown itwill be necessary to increase the cutting height
to reduce the pushing effect and reduce overloading the motor. For
extremely heavy mulching make narrower cuts and mow slowly.
Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an
area be mulched a second time to completely hide the clippings.
When doing a second cut, mow across or perpendicular to the first
cut path. DO NOT MOW PERPENDICULAR TO THE FIRST
PATH IF IT WOULD CAUSE MOWING ACROSS A HILL.
Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to
south one week and east to west the next week This will help
prevent matting and graining of the lawn.

MAINTENANCE
• Be sure the switch lever is released and the cord unplugged
before doing any maintenance.
• Check the blade at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment
is in safe working condition.
If you are using a Grass Catcher, check it frequently for wear
or deterioration. Ifexcessively worn, replace with new bag for
safety protection.

ASSEMBLY
UNPACKINGANDASSEMBLY
• Your mower carton contains the mower and 1 plastic bag.

FIGURE 1
Carefully roll the mower out of the carton and place it on the
floor or ground.
Insert the ends of the lower handle half through the rubber
flaps at the sides of the mower shroud, as shown in Figure 2.
Under the rubber flaps are steel pins. You may have to
manually open the flaps in order to see the pins. Push the
handle half firmly against the pins until you feel it snap into
place.
FIGURE2
Fasten the upper and lower handle halves together using the
eye bolt (already installed on the power cord) and the
curvedhead bolt. Install one of the star washers and one of the
plastic knobs onto the threaded end of the eye bolt such that
the eye portion of the bolt is on the outside of the handle, as
shown in Figure 2. Tighten the knob firmly.
Install the curvedhead bolt from the outside of the handle on
the other side, as shown in Figure 2. Install the remaining star
washer and plastic knob on the threaded end of this bolt.
Examine the mower to ensure that both plastic knobs and star
washers are on the inside of the handle and the eye bolt is on
theoutside (on the same side of the mower as the switch) and
the head ofthe curvedhead bolt ison the outside ofthe handle.
Compare closely with Figure 2.
Use the plastic strap from the bag to hold the power cord
against the lower handle half. Just above the mower shroud
there is asmall hole on the inside surface of the lower handle
half. Wrap the plastic strap around the power cord and insert
the post into the hole in the handle, asshown in Figure 3. Push
firmly and you will feel it snap into place.
NOTE: The use of this strap is very important to prevent the
power cord from being trapped between the handle and the
mower deck.
