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.
GENERAL SERVICE
1. Never operate mower in a closed area.
2. Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
3. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
4. Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Allow mower to cool before storing.
5. If you strike a foreign object, release bail handle to turn mower off, wait for the blade to stop and remove the safety key and battery pack, then
inspect the mower. Repair, any damage, before starting and operating the mower.
6. Never make any adjustments or repairs with the motor running or while the safety key is in the mower.
7. Always remove safety key and battery pack before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, inspecting, transporting, storing or leaving the mower.
8. Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard frequently and when necessary replace with Black & Decker recommended parts only.
9. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL LAWN MOWERS
• STORE IDLE LAWN MOWER INDOORS. Always store with safety key removed. Lawn mowers should be stored indoors in dry, secured area –
out of reach of children.
• DON’T FORCE MOWER. It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT APPLIANCE. Do not use the mower for any job except that for which it is intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves, long pants and substantial, non-
skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields, complying with applicable
safety standards and, when needed, a face shield. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also
use a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves, safety shoes and dust collection systems when specified or required. Safety glasses or the like are
available at extra cost at your local dealer or Black & Decker Service Center.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry charger by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• MAINTAIN MOWER WITH CARE. Keep cutting edge clean and sharp for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect mower cord periodically and if damaged, have it repaired by authorized service facility. Keep handles
dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Donʼt carry mower with safety key inserted in switch housing. Be sure bail handle is not engaged while
inserting safety key.
• BEFORE USING, always visually inspect to see that the blade, blade fasteners and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or
damaged blades and fasteners in sets to preserve balance. Inspect the mower cord - ensure it is in good condition. Cord insulation must be intact
with no cracks or deterioration.
• USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the lawn mower – that is, proper
wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the lawn mower will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.
