should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following: "
Warning: Risk of injury could occur if the lawn mower is
operated without the catcher assembly attached.
Warning: The use of any other accessory or attachment might
increase the risk of injury.
Warning: To reduce the risk of injury, inspect catcher
assembly frequently and replace with recommended
replacement if these are signs of wear or deterioration.
Before using the mower, take the time to familiarize yourself
with the controls, especially how to stop the mower in an
emergency. Only allow responsible individuals who have a
thorough understanding of these instructions to operate the
mower. Never allow children to operate the mower.

start of each mowing session.
FOR DOUBLE-INSULATED LAWN MOWERS
1. Replacement Parts – When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
2. Polarized Appliance Connections To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of
a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit
into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct
polarized extension cord. Apolarized extension cord
will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug
will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in anyway.
m Contact with moving parts may cause entanglement,
dismemberment or other serious bodily injury. Always
keep body parts (i.e.: hands, feet) away from moving
parts. Ensure all covers and guards are securely in place
before use.
Hot surfaces (i.e.: motor) may ignite flammables or
combustibles and cause a fire or explosion resulting in
serious injury. Keep the mower away from flammables or
