WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this lawnmower.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
1) Work area safety
a) To avoid bystander contact with the moving
blade or a thrown object injury, keep the area
of operation clear of all bystanders, particularly
small children. Stop the lawnmower and any
attachment(s) if anyone enters the area. Contact
with the moving blade or thrown objects may result
in serious personal injury or death.
b) Only operate the lawnmower in daylight or
good artificial light. Dark areas invite accidents.
c) Do not operate lawnmowers in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Lawnmowers
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
d) Do not use the lawnmower in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
e) Thoroughly inspect the area where the
lawnmower is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects.
Thrown objects can cause personal injury.

bol) Indicates a situation
that may result in property
damage.
a) Do not expose the lawnmower to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a lawnmower may
increase the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment will
reduce personal injuries.
b) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
c) While operating the lawnmower, always
wear long trousers. Exposed skin increases the
likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
d) While operating the lawnmower, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Do not operate
the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing open
sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the
feet from contact with the moving blade
e) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or batteries, picking up or
carrying the lawnmower. Carrying a lawnmower with
your finger on the switch or energizing a lawnmower
that has the switch on invites accidents.
f) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the lawnmower on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the lawnmower may
result in personal injury.
g) Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.This enables better control of the lawnmower
in unexpected situations.
h) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a lawnmower. Do
not use a lawnmower while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating a lawnmower
may result in serious personal injury.
i) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of lawnmower allow you to become complacent
and ignore lawnmower safety principles.A
careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
j) To avoid operator blade contact or a thrown
object injury, stay in the operator zone behind
the lawnmower handles. Blade contact or thrown
objects may result in serious personal injury
k) Do not touch blades and other hazardous
moving parts while they are still in motion. This
reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
