blade. Release to stop the motor and blade.

engage the motor/blade control handle.
CORD RESTRAINT—helps prevent disconnection of
extension cord from motor/blade control.

BEFORE USING YOUR LAWN MOWER, AGAIN REFER TO THE “SAFETY RULES” AS SHOWN ON PAGE 2
OF THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL.
The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye
shields before starting power tool operation or while performing any adjustments or
repairs. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for over spectacles or standard
glasses available at Sears Retail or Catalog Stores.
