4 Safety Precautions
■ 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 may 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.
► Do not work in a highly flammable environ‐
ment.
■ If the lawn mower is stopped on a sloping sur‐
face, it may unintentionally roll away. This may
result in injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Only release the lawn mower if it is on a
level surface and cannot roll away by itself.
■ If objects are attached to the handlebar, the
additional weight may cause the lawn mower
to tip over. This may result in injury to people
and damage to property.
► Do not attach objects to the handlebar.
DANGER
■ If working near live wires, the blade may come
into contact with the live wires and damage
them. This may result in serious or fatal injury
to the user.
► Do not work near live wires.
■ The user may be struck by lighting if working
during a thunderstorm. This may result in seri‐
ous or fatal injury to the user.
► Do not work during thunderstorms.
