Preparation
1. Do not mow barefoot or in open sandals.
Always wear suitable clothing, gloves, and
stout shoes.
2. The use of ear protection is recommended.
3. Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks,
stones, bones, wire and debris; they could
be thrown by the blade.
4. Before using always visually inspect to see
that blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly
are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or
damaged blades together with their fixings
in sets to preserve balance.
5. Have faulty silencers replaced.
Use
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined
space where exhaust fumes (carbon
monoxide) can collect.
2. Use the lawnmower only in daylight or good
artificial light.
3. Avoid operating your lawnmower in wet
grass, where feasible.
4. Take care in wet grass, you may lose your
footing.
5. On slopes, be extra careful of your footing
and wear non-slip footwear.
6. Mow across the face of slopes, never up
and down.
7. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
8. Mowing on banks and slopes can be
dangerous. Do not mow on banks or steep
slopes.

area to be mowed.
