General Electrical Safety Rules
1. Avoid dangerous environments such as damp
locations.
2. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull a machine
by the cord or pull the cord to disconnect it from the
outlet socket. Keep the cord away from excessive
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
3. Disconnect the machine when not in use, before
servicing and when changing attachments.
4. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure to switch off before
plugging the cord into a power outlet.
5. To prevent electrical shock, use the machine only
with an extension cord suitable for outdoor use as
recommended by the extension cord manufacturer;
the use of suitable extension cords is extremely
important for the operator’s personal safety.
6. Never use an indoor type of extension cord: these
cords are designed for use with lamps and small
appliances and are inadequate for high-powered
machines.

Rover Mowers Limited Chip ‘N’ Shred TM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. A
cord with cracked or broken insulation is hazardous,
particularly in the presence of moisture or combustible
material. It is also important that the cord connectors
be of rugged construction, in good condition, and
securely attached to the outer jacket.
8. If the extension cord is damaged in any manner while
operating the machine, immediately switch off the
power supply and remove the extension cord from
the power outlet.
9. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by
a CMG Service Agent or similarly qualified person
in order to avoid a hazard.
Electrical Supply Capacity and Fuses
1. Use only an electric circuit having adequate
capacity.
2. Blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker is a
warning that you are overloading your machine or
have too many devices in use on that circuit, or both.
Determine the cause and correct it. Do not install a
higher capacity fuse.
