Intended Use; General Safety Rules; Personal Safety - Ryobi RLM46175Y Traduction Des Instructions Originales

Safety, performance, and dependability have been given
top priority in the design of your petrol lawn mower.

INTENDED USE

The petrol lawn mower is intended for domestic lawn
mowing. The cutting blade should rotate approximately
parallel to the ground over which it is being wheeled. All
four wheels should touch the ground while mowing. It is a
pedestrian-controlled walk-behind mower.
The mower should never be operated with the wheels off
the ground; it should not be pulled or ridden on. It should
not be used to cut anything other than domestic grass
lawns.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, the user must read and
understand the operator's manual.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the product until you have read
thoroughly and understood completely all instructions,
safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to
comply with all instructions and warnings may result in
accidents involving electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.

PERSONAL SAFETY

The product is capable of amputating hands and feet,
■
and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety
instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Never allow children or people with reduced physical,
■
sensory, or mental capabilities, or unfamiliar with the
instructions to use the product. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator. Children should be
adequately supervised to ensure they don't play with
the product.
Ensure before each use that all controls and safety
■
devices function correctly. Do not use the product if the
"off" switch does not stop the engine.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
■
sense when operating the product. Do not operate the
product when tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A lapse in concentration while
operating the product may result in serious personal
injury.
Wear heavy, long trousers, long sleeves, slip-resistant
■
foot protection, and gloves. Do not wear loose fitting
clothing, short trousers, sandals, or go barefoot.
Wear hearing protection and safety glasses at all
■
times while operating the product. Use a face mask if
operation is dusty.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
■
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay
extra attention to what is going on in the work
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk
■
of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to
enter your work area.
Always be sure of your footing, especially on slopes.
■
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance.
Walk, never run.
■
Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
■
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, excessively steep
■
slopes, or embankments. Poor footing could cause a
slip-and-fall accident.
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material
■
toward roads, public pavements, bystanders and
the like. Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction, which may cause the material to ricochet
toward the operator.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 15 m
■
away from work area. If anyone enters the work area,
stop the machine.
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a
■
clear view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
Do not operate the machine in explosive atmospheres,
■
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. The product may create sparks which can ignite
the dust or fumes.
Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause
■
severe injuries to persons. Thoroughly inspect the area
where the product is to be used and remove all rocks,
sticks, metal, wire, bones, toys, or other foreign objects.
Do not operate the product in wet grass or in the rain.
■
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
■
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
■
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the product and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the work area and under the
■
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
■
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered or dark areas invite
■
accidents.
