Double Insulated Lawn Mower

Double insulation is a concept in the safety of electric lawn mowers, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

Wherever there is electric current in the mower, there are two complete sets of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.

IMPORTANT: Servicing of a lawn mower with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For repair service we suggest you return the lawn mower to your nearest authorized service dealer. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who read, understand, and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
