• 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.

FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED LAWN
MOWERS
• 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.
