E_,.-lr,.-]=[_1.-]_

• Check the blade and the motor mounting

bolts often to be sure they are tightened

properly.

• Check all bolts, nuts and screws at

frequent intervals for proper tightness to

be sure mower is in safe working

condition.

• Keep all safety devices in place and

working.

• To reduce fire hazard, keep the motor

free of grass, leaves or excessive grease

and oil.

• Always keep the blade on your mower

sharp

• Allow motor to cool before storing in any

enclosure.

• Keep mower dry and clean. Always use

a clean damp cloth when cleaning

Never use brake fluids, gasoline,

petroleum-based products, solvents, or

water to clean mower.

• Do not mow if switch does not turn

mower on and off. Have defective switch

replaced at Sears Service Center.

• Check damaged pads. Before further

use of the mower, a guard or other part

that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended

function. Check for alignment of moving

parts, binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts, and any other conditions that

may affect mower operation. A guard or

other part that is damaged should be

properly repaired or replaced by a

qualified service technician.

• When servicing use only identical

Craftsman replacement parts. Servicing

of this mower should be performed only

by a qualified service technician. For

repair service we suggest you return

mower to your nearest Sears Service

Center.

• When replacing blade, use only identical

Craftsman replacement blade. Use of

any other blade may result in serious

personal injury or damage to your

mower.

• Store mower inside. When not in use,

mower should be stored indoors in a

garage, basement, etc. Storage area

should be a dry, locked-up place - out

reach of children.

• Maintain mower with care. Keep blade

sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for

lubricating and changing accessories.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Your Mower is DOUBLE INSULATED to

give you added safety. This means that it

is constructed throughout with TWO

separate "layers" of electrical insulation, or

one DOUBLE thickness of insulation

between you and the tool's electrical

system.

Tools built with this insulation system are

not intended to be grounded. As a result,

your mower is equipped with a two-prong

plug which permits you to use extension

cords without concern for maintaining a

ground connection.

NOTE: DOUBLE INSULATION does not

take the place of normal safety

precautions when operating this mower.

The insulation system is for added

protection against injury resulting from a

possible electrical insulation failure within

the tool.

CAUTION: Repair or replace damaged

cords immediately. Use only identical

Craftsman replacement parts.

POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

mower has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This mower must be

used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3

wire extension cord. Polarized connections

will fit together only one way. Make sure

thai the receptacle end of the extension

cord has large and small blade slot

widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the

extension cord receptacle, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable

extension cord. If the extension cord does

not fit fully into the outlet, contact a

qualified electrician to install the proper

outlet. Do not change the tool plug or

extension cord in any way.

EXTENSION CORDS

Double-insulated tools have 2 wire cords,

and can be used with 2 wire or 3 wire

extension cords. Only round jacketed

extension cords should be used, and we

recommend that they be listed by

Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.)

WARNING: To prevent electric shock use

only with an extension cord suitable for

outdoor use, such as SW-A, SJOW-A,

SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,

SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.

An extension cord must have adequate

wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)

for safety, and to prevent loss of power

and overheating. The smaller the gauge

number of the wire, the greater the

capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge

has more capacity than 18 gauge. When

using more than one extension to make

up the total length, be sure each individual

extension contains at least the minimum

wire size.

To determine the minimum wire size

required, refer to the chart below: (Refer

to your mower's nameplate to find the

Ampere Rating)

NOTE: Using any other length or rating or

cord will diminish the performance and

possibly the life of the electric motor.
