Work area
• Keep work area clean and tidy. Before commencing
mowing, check your lawn to ensure that the area is
clean of debris such as stones and mulch. Remove all
obstructing material from the lawn, otherwise the hand
mower could pick up this debris and either damage the
cutting blades or eject it causing possible injury to the
user or other persons in the area.
• Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors
and onlookers, especially children and infirm persons,
should be kept well away from where you are working.
Do not let others in the vicinity make contact with the
mower.
• Keep hands and feet well away from the cutting
blades. Even when you want to clean the blades, do
not insert your hands into the blade.
• Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be
locked up out of reach.
• Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better
and safer working at the rate for which it was designed.
• Dress correctly. Always wear safety footwear when
cutting the lawn with this hand mower. Leather gloves
are also recommended when working outdoors.
• Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and
balanced at all times.
• Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Should the
hand mower not be functioning correctly, it should be
inspected by an authorized repair centre.
Tool use and care
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the tool. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the tool, accessories etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for
the particular type of tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the tool for operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the tool is
maintained.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your mower is faulty or that a part is missing. If you
find anything wrong, do not operate the mower until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
