Open your circuit breaker box. Locate the breaker that has tripped. Turn the breaker OFF (it is in a mid position). Then turn it back ON. Before you do that you need to ask yourself, why did the circuit breaker trip? They trip because of an overload of current. Is something else running on that same circuit, say for example an electric heater or something similar? Depending on the rating of that circuit breaker (15 or 20 amps) you may be drawing too much current. Look for anything else that could be running on the same circuit (only so many outlets can be put on the same circuit). Disconnect or turn off all other devices. Attempt to operate your mower again. If the breaker trips again, then there is something wrong with your mower (electrical short?).

I had the same problem and I already found those recommended solutions\ causes on the web:
1. The
motor isn't on full throttle.
2. The blade is upside down.
3. The grass is
too high when cutting it.
4. Overlap your cuts.
It helped my problem/ I hope it will help yours too!

If it's like mine (MM 875), it has a plastic "clutch" that has little edges on it that broke off when I was chopping sticks with the mower ;-) Went to the local B&D place and got a new one for less than $3.
But now I'm worrying about the nut holding the blade on -- if I try to get it good and tight, the plastic "clutch" spins around off-kilter... Funny how I never even looked at the blade after I bought the mower used, but never worried about the blade being loose and flying off.
