WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can result in serious injury to
yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Save owners manual and
review frequently for continuing safe operation and instructing others who
may use this tool.

WARNING: This machine produces an electromagnetic field during
operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or
passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and
the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.

WARNING: The operation of any tool can result in foreign objects being
thrown into your eyes, which can result in eyes severely damaged. Before

safety glasses with side shield.

 Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower.

Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

 Never mow while people, especially children or pets, are nearby.
 The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or

their property.

 Do not operate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing open sandals, always wear

substantial footwear and long trousers.

 Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawnmower is to be used and remove all stones,

sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects.

 Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter

assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to
preserve balance.

 Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
 Avoid operating the lawnmower in wet grass, where feasible.
 Walk, never run.
 Never operate the appliance with defective guards or shields, or without safety device, for

example deflectors and/or grass catchers in place.

 Mowing on banks can be dangerous:

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Always be sure of your footing on slopes or wet grass.

Mow across the face of slopes

– never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Use extreme caution when stepping back or pulling the lawnmower towards you.

Never mow by pulling the mower towards you.

 Stop the blades if the lawnmower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing

surfaces other than grass and when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to
be mowed.

 Do not tilt the machine when starting or switching on the motor, except if the machine has

to be tilted for starting in long grass. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely
necessary and tilt only the part which is away from the operator. Always ensure that both
hands are in the operating position before returning the machine to the ground.
