￭ If working without self-propulsion when mowing, self-
propulsion may unintentionally be engaged and the lawn
mower may start moving. This may result in serious injury
to people and damage to property.

propulsion is to be engaged.
￭ If the lawn mower changes or starts to behave differently
when working, it may not be in safe condition. This may
result in serious injury to people and damage to property.

object or parts of it may be damaged or thrown up at high
velocity. This may result in injury to people and damage to
property.
► Remove foreign objects from the work area.
￭ When the control bar for mowing is released, the blade
continues to turn for a short time. This may result in
serious injury to people.
► Wait until the blade is no longer turning.
￭ Sparks can be produced if the turning blade hits a hard
object. Sparks may cause fires in highly flammable
environments. This may result in serious or fatal injury to
people and damage to property.
