4. PRINCIPLES OF WORKING SAFETY
Never use the equipment if the supply cable is damaged or visibly worn out.
If you connect the lawnmower to the power source using a damaged cable and subsequently
touch a spot with defective insulation before disconnecting the lawnmower from the power
source, you expose yourself to the risk of electric shock.
Also, never touch the blades until the equipment is disconnected from the power source and
until the blades stopped rotating completely.
Prevent the extension cables from getting into contact with the blades. The blades could
damage the cable insulation which would result in the risk of electric shock in the event of
contact of any part of the body and the naked wire if the wire is energized.
Disconnect the equipment from the power supply (i.e. unplug the plug of the supply cable
from the mains socket outlet):
If you have to leave the equipment unattended •
If you are about to remedy a defect •
Before each inspection, cleaning or repair •
If you hit a foreign object while mowing •
If the equipment generates excessive vibrations. •
Read carefully the principles of working safety with the equipment and the operating manual.
Recommendations: Only connect the equipment to the power source protected by a residual
current device (RCD) with leakage current of no more than 30 mA.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s
customer service.
This equipment may not be operated by persons with limited physical, sensual or mental
capacities (including children). It may also not be operated by inexperienced persons or by
persons who clearly lack adequate technical knowledge to operate this equipment. Such
persons may only operate the equipment under the supervision by a competent person or
after being duly instructed about the principles of working safety.
If children are in the vicinity, they must be supervised to prevent them from playing with the
equipment.
Tingling sensation in the hands or even if hands became insensible to any feeling is a sign
of excessive vibrations. In such case, cut short the work, interrupt it by adequate breaks,
divide it among several people or, in case of a lengthy lawnmower operation, use special anti-
vibration gloves.
Noise generated during the lawnmower operation constitutes an inevitable side effect of its
use. Therefore, carry out noisy work only during the dedicated hours or whenever it is
common to perform such activities. Respect the period of rest and try to reduce the time of
work to absolute minimum. We also recommend that both you and the persons situated in
close proximity to the lawnmower use the hearing protection.
