with these instructions to use the
lawnmower. Local regulations can restrict
the age of the operator;
c) never mow while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby;
d) keep in mind that the operator or user

occurring to other people or their property.
2 Preparation
a) while mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing
open sandals;
b) thoroughly inspect the area where
the equipment is to be used and remove
all objects which can be thrown by the
machine;
c) WARNING – Petrol is highly flammable
- store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose;
- refuel outdoors only and do not smoke
while refueling;
- add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add
petrol while the engine is running or when
the engine is hot;
- if petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start
the engine but move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating
any source of ignition until petrol vapours
have dissipated;

e) before using, always visually inspect
to see that the blade, blade bolts and
