the slope, never upwards and downwards. Do not mow on inclines
greater than 20%.
3) Be particularly careful when changing the mowing direction and
always maintain a stable position.
4) Mowing along perimeters of cliffs or steep inclines involves a risk
of injury.Keep a safe distance from perimeters of dangerous terrain
when mowing.
5) If the ground is wet the mower could slip due to reduced traction
and overturn. Mow only when the grass is dry.
Injury Prevention
1) Always maintain a safe distance from the rotating blade by holding
and standing behind the steering handle.
2) Never place your hands, feet, or other parts of the body near
rotating parts.
3) Stop the motor when the lawnmower has to be tilted and when
travelling over surfaces other than grass for transporting.
4) Never lift or carry the machine when the motor is running. Remove
the plug from the outlet before handling mower.
5) Switch off the motor and pull out the plug when releasing
jambs,removing blockages in the ejection channel or before checking,
cleaning,transporting, adjusting or working on the lawn mower.
6) If you remove the grass catcher, you or other persons might get
injured due to ejected, mowed materials or foreign objects.
7) Never empty the grass bag while the motor is running. To do this,
switch off the lawn mower.
8) Check the surface which the lawn mower is to be used on and
remove all objects that the machine can eject out of the discharge
chute.
9) If a foreign object (e.g. stone) is hit by the cutting blade or the lawn
mower starts vibrating abnormally, stop the motor immediately and
remove the plug from the outlet. Check the lawn mower for damage,
and have any damage repaired at an authorized repair facility.
10) For lawnmowers with rotating blades, never stand in front of the
grass disharge chute.
Tripping hazard
When changing directions, be careful not to trip over the mains cable
and injure yourself. Position the extension cord behind you so that it
stays out of the path which you are walking along while mowing, and is
kept away from the cutting blade.
1) Stones, branches or other objects lying around can cause damage
to the lawn mower and its operation. Remove all objects from the
machine's path before every use.
2) Do not operate the machine if it is not in perfect working order.
Conduct a thorough visual check before using it. In particular, check
that protective equipment, electrical controls, current-carrying cables
and threaded connections are not damaged and are secure.
3) Replace damaged parts before operating the unit.
