I mean won't the cord get cut if it's mowed over?

Well, of course the cord will get cut if you run over it. And you will cut your foot off if you run over it with the gasoline lawnmower. You have to keep the cord out of the way of the lawnmower. The best way to do this is to work away from the outlet where you have the cord plugged in.

Yes, you will cut the cord if you mow over it. One way to avoid this is to start mowing from you power source. In other words, begin the job closest to where the mower is plugged in. Also, keep the cord to one side...either your right or left. I have outlets at the front, side, and back of my home but I primarily use the outlet located on the side of the house. I begin the job at this point and work towards the front yard. Afterwards I do the side and back property, all the while keeping the cord to one side. I'll admit, it was a little awkward at first but half way through the job, I got the hang of it. Love this mower. Got it at the end of the season. The yard was full of leaves and the guy who did (repeat, did) my yard had not appeared for about 2 weeks so there was some real growth along with the leaves. The mower did a great job and the only time I will have the yard guy back now is when I don't have time to do the job myself.

Absolutely! You must be take care to be sure it is not in the cutting path. Not too hard to do.

Your house would immediately burn down! Just kidding. It would likely never cause a problem especially if a heavy duty extension cord with good insulation was used, but it is, as you know, against code. Best to just suck it up and get the Datacomm kit with the power outlet and install that, or have it installed.

Yes, but the hole for a cord would have to be drilled on the decorative wall plate- might look rough if not done well.

Next to the on off switch, there is a hole of sorts on either side. A cord could be attached but it might interfere with the switch.

No. The lights are held up by small metal stakes that you place in the ground which raise the lights approximately 1-5 inches (whatever height you desire) and the wire is lying on the round between stakes. Mowing would definitely not be advisable.

Yes, there is a cut out for the cord to fit and for you to be able to push the on button if need be.

My yard is relatively small I have no problem managing the cord. I kind of have the system down - start closest to plug and work away so cord stays behind me.

No, your tool is plugged into the switch and the switch plugs into the wall. No cutting of your tool's power cord is required.

You could cut the cord and hard wire it but since the on/off switch is on the cord you would no longer be able to turn the light off.

Yes, it will still operate while it is plugged in with the charging cord. This has happened to me a couple of times. I was nervous about this myself because you don't need to cut/shave your hair and get halfway done and can't finish.

Unfortunately not, the plug is standard and requires room so the cord won't be pinched.

The antenna is flexible and can be bent over a little to avoid the door. It should still operate normally.

Yes, as long as its use is "short term". It's really a safety issue and conditional upon: 1.) its placement under the carpet and whether it would be subjected to constant foot and/or other types of transport traffic(heavy or light), and, 2.) whether this is a long term installation in lieu of a properly installed electrical outlet at the end location of the "cord under the carpet." (NOTE: This action falls under the Electrical Safety Code issues of unsafe practices...generally, disapproved by Electrical Inspectors and truly Licensed Home Inspectors due to possibility of a heavy falling object piercing the cable/cord and shorting out the circiut and/or causing a fire due to arcing or sparking.)

I don't really know (I'm a woman!). I do love the mower and it has not seemed to run up the electric bill. Batteries do run down, they are heavy and a pain to replace when you need to move that day and it won't start. I have a medium size yard and sometimes mow the front and back on different days but love the mower, haven't cut the cord once!

Just looked at mine and it appears that it could be cut down. However, it could be risky. Remember that I said "it appears that it could be done" -- but there are no guarantee's.

Yes, it will not be a problem. The plug on the unit is in a good position at the top.

Yes, there is a metal core in the cable housing so you will need a cut off tool or a hacksaw.
