1. SYMBOLS MARKED ON THE
PRODUCT
DOUBLE INSULATED
Your mower is double insulated.
This means that all external parts are electrically isolated
from the power supply. This is achieved by placing an
extra insulation barrier between the electrical and
mechanical parts.
2. GENERAL SAFETY RULES
The purpose of the safety rules is to attract your attention
to possible dangers. The safety symbols and the
explanations with them, require your careful attention and
understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves
eliminate any danger. The instruction or warnings they
give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention
measures.
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

instructing others who may use this tool.
WARNING: The operation of any tool can result
in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can
result in eyes severely damaged. Before beginning power
tool operation, always wears safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a full face shield when
needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use
over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side
shield.
