FOR ALL BATTERY-OPERATED
GARDENING APPLIANCES:
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before
connecting to battery pack, picking up
or carrying the appliance. Carrying the
appliance with your nger on the switch or
energizing appliance that have the switch on
invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the
appliance before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of re when used with another battery
pack.
4. Use appliances only with specically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
re.
5. When battery pack 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 re.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, ush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
additional medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or appliance
that is damaged or modied. Damaged or
modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk
of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance
to re or excessive temperature. Exposure
to re or temperature above 130
o
C (266
o
F)
may cause an explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or appliance
outside of the temperature range specied
in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specied range
may damage the battery and increase the
risk of re.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualied
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the product is maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the
appliance or the battery pack (as applicable)
except as indicated in the instructions for
use and care.

c) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do
not store battery packs haphazardly in
a box or drawer where they may short-
circuit each other or be short-circuited
by other metal objects. When battery
pack 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
re.

under the machine. Keep clear of the
discharge opening at all times.
3. Only allow responsible adults, who are
familiar with the instructions, to operate
this machine.

while wearing sandals. Always wear
proper footwear.
7. Do not pull machine backward unless
Safety Instructions

model no. 060-1982-2 | contact us: 1.866.523.5218
8
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.
Stop the blade when crossing gravel
surfaces.
9. Do not operate machine without the
entire grass catcher, discharge guard,
rear guard, or other safety protective
devices in place and working.
10. Never leave a running machine
unattended.
11. Stop the motor and wait until the blade
comes to a complete stop before
cleaning the machine, removing grass
catcher, or unclogging the discharge
guard.
12. Operate machine only in daylight or
good articial light.
13. Do not operate machine while under the
inuence of alcohol or drugs.
14. Never operate mower in wet grass.
Always be sure of your footing; walk;
never run.
15. Disengage the drive system, if so
equipped, before starting the motor.
16. If the machine should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the motor and check
for the cause immediately. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
17. Always wear eye protection when
operating machine.
18. See manufacturer’s instructions for
proper operation and installation of
accessories. Only use accessories
approved by the manufacturer.
II. 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.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the machine
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
machine.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may block your view of a child.
IV. SERVICE
GENERAL SERVICE

1.4 Maintenance
a) Check the blade and the motor mounting
bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness.
b) Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to
be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
c) Check bag frequently for deterioration
and wear, and replace worn bags.
Check that replacement bags comply

recommendations or specications.
d) Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked.
An unbalanced blade causes vibration
that could damage the motor drive unit or
cause personal injury.
e) Sharpen a dull blade equally at each end
to maintain the balance.
f) Clean the blade thoroughly and check
its balance by supporting it horizontally
on a thin nail through its centre hole.
The nail should also be in a horizontal
position. If either end of the blade rotates
downward, remove some metal from
the heavy or lower end until the blade
is balanced. It is balanced when neither
end drops.
