User manual BLACK & DECKER MM875

[. . . ] Do not operate mower unless handle is locked into position. Inspect and thoroughly clean your mower after each use (a deck with caked grass will degrade performance). â· Make sure mowing area is clear of other persons or pets prior to starting operation. Safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following. [. . . ] The mower is designed to mulch or bag the grass depending on whether mulch insert is in (mulching) or the mulch insert is out and the grass catcher is in place (bagging). No further assembly steps are required if you are mulching. GRASS CATCHER INSTALLATION (FIGURE 4A, 4B, 4C) (If you wish to bag the clippings rather than mulch, perform these steps) 3 Locate your hand in the handle pocket as shown in Figure 4A, lift and pull out the mulch insert completely. Pick up the grass catcher by the handle and lower the grass catcher between the lawnmower handles as shown in Figure 4B. When you release it the door will rest against top of bag assembly. Your mower has been completely assembled at the factory except for the grass bag. Warning: Never operate the mower unless the hanger hooks on the grass catcher are Raise the handle section into place and secure by tightening the two knobs. Take care not to pinch or damage the power cord while adjusting the handles. There are three holes on the upper handle, this allows the handle height to be set in three positions. Choose the hole that best suits your overall height. Install the bolts to the inside of the handles so that the knobs are on the outside (to avoid interference with the rear door and grassbag). 3 Slide the mulch insert into the discharge opening until it is firmly in contact with the deck. NOTE: A lawnmower is a major appliance and should not be operated simultaneously with other major appliances on the same house circuit. Warning: Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 100 feet away. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris which might be thrown by the rotating blades DO NOT connect the extension cord to power source until you have finished reading this manual and you are ready to start mowing. The extension cord must be polarized and will only plug in one way, orient the wide slot with the wide blade in the switch housing. Loop the extension cord and push the loop up through the hole in the switch housing. Pull the extension cord on the side of the loop that is plugged into the switch housing and remove all the slack in this section of the extension cord. Place the loop over the strain relief tab on the switch housing and pull the extension cord so the loop draws down around the strain relief tab as shown in the detail. Double check to see that you did not loosen the extension cord. The cutting height should be higher in hot weather or shade, and lower for the last mow before winter. Your mower is equipped with a special switch. [. . . ] Please check with the retailer for their specific return policy regarding returns that are beyond the time set for exchanges.
