NEUTON EM 5.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 5
Protecting Yourself and Those Around You
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are
often attracted to the Mower and the activity of mowing. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Do not allow children, other
bystanders, or pets in your work area when the Mower is being operated. Stop the Mower if
anyone enters the area.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn the Mower off if children enter the area.
• Only allow responsible individuals who have a thorough understanding of these instructions to
operate the Mower. Never allow children to operate the Mower.
• Before and while pulling the Mower backwards, look behind and down for small children and
for secure footing.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
your vision.
• If you are ever unsure about an action you are about to take, please don’t do it.
Dressing Appropriately
• Always use safety goggles or glasses when using your NEUTON Mower to protect your eyes
from possible thrown objects. Use a face or dust mask if operating in dusty conditions.
• Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your Mower. If you have safety shoes, wear them.
Do not use the Mower while barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Wear long pants while trimming and mowing.
• Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry which might be caught on the Mower’s moving parts.
WARNING! This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet, and
throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result
in serious injury or death.
