Safety rules for petrol lawn mowers
Training
• Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the controls and proper use of
the equipment.
• Only use the lawn mower for the purpose for which it was designed, i.e. for
cutting and collecting grass. Any other use can be hazardous, causing damage to
the machine.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawn
mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
• Never use the lawn mower:
– When people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
– If the operator has taken medicine or substances that can affect his ability to react
and concentrate.
• Remember that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
Preparation
• While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long trousers. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all
objects which may be thrown by the machine or damage the cutter assembly and
the engine (stones, sticks, metal wire, bones, etc.)
WARNING:
DANGER!
Engine fuel is highly flammable:
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
– Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. Do not smoke while refuelling or
whenever handling the fuel.
– Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add
fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
– If fuel 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 the fuel
has evaporated and the vapour dispersed.
