or jerk the cable to seperate the
connectors. Keep the cable away from
heat sources, oils or sharp edges.
Check the condition of your cable
before use and do not use if damaged.
To protect your feet, always wear stout
shoes or boots - freshly cut grass is
damp and slippery.
Rubber or man-made footwear will
enhance your safety.
Do not operate your mower barefoot or
in open sandals.
Use protective equipment. Wear safety
spectacles or goggles whilst operating
your mower. Use ear protection if the
sound level seems uncomfortable
when using your mower.
Use a face mask if dusty.
Wear long trousers to protect your legs
- any debris left on the lawn or cutting
path may be picked up and ejected by
the blade.
The power supply cable should be
regularly inspected for signs of damage
or ageing, and only used if in good
condition.
Always keep the power supply cable
away from the blades - be aware of its
position at all times.
Always be sure your mower is in a safe
operating condition.
Before using your mower, disconnect
it from the electrical supply and visually
check that the blade, blade nut and
cutter assembly are not worn or
damaged. A damaged blade or worn
blade nut is a major hazard and must
be replaced. Also check that the blade
nut is securely fastened.
