ENGLISH

• Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection

when operating the mower.

• The use of any accessory or attachment not

recommended for use with this mower could

be hazardous. Only use accessories approved by

BLACK+DECKER.

• Never overreach while operating the mower. Always

be sure to keep proper footing and balance at all times

while operating the mower.

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.

• Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction

onslopes.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden

objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall

accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.

Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

• 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.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and under

the watchful care of a responsible adult other than

theoperator.

• Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

• Never allow children to operate the mower.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may block your view of

achild.

• Replacement Parts. When servicing use only identical

replacement parts.

• 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. A polarized 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

anyway.
