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.

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.
