ENGLISH

4. 

Before using the lawnmower, always visually 
inspect to see that the blade and the blade 
assembly are not worn or damaged.

 Worn or 

damaged parts increase the risk of injury.

5. 

Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or 
deterioration.

 A worn or damaged grass catcher 

may increase the risk of personal injury.

6. 

Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
ing order and be properly mounted.

 A guard 

that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning cor-

rectly may result in personal injury.

7. 

Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.

 

Blocked air inlets and debris may result in over-

heating or risk of fire.

8. 

While operating the lawnmower, always wear 
non-slip and protective footwear. Do not oper-
ate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing 
open sandals.

 This reduces the chance of injury 

to the feet from contact with the moving blade.

9. 

While operating the lawnmower, always wear 
long trousers.

 Exposed skin increases the likeli-

hood of injury from thrown objects.

10. 

Do not operate the lawnmower in wet grass. 
Walk, never run.

 This reduces the risk of slipping 

and falling which may result in personal injury.

11. 

Do not operate the lawnmower on excessively 
steep slopes.

 This reduces the risk of loss of 

control, slipping and falling which may result in 

personal injury.

12. 

When working on slopes, always be sure of 
your footing, always work across the face 
of slopes, never up or down and exercise 
extreme caution when changing direction.

 This 

reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and 

falling which may result in personal injury.

13. 

Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling 
the lawnmower towards you. Always be aware 
of your surroundings.

 This reduces the risk of 

tripping during operation.

14. 

Do not touch blades and other hazardous 
moving parts while they are still in motion.

 This 

reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.

15. 

When clearing jammed material or cleaning 
the lawnmower, make sure all power switches 

are off and the battery pack is disconnected.

 

Unexpected operation of the lawnmower may 

result in serious personal injury.

Preparation

1. 

While operating the mower, always wear sub-
stantial footwear and long trousers. Do not 
operate the mower when barefoot or wearing 
open sandals. Avoid wearing clothing or jew-

elry that is loose fitting or that has hanging 

cords or ties. They can be caught in moving 
parts.

2. 

Before use, always visually inspect the mower for 
damaged, missing or misplaced guards or shields.

3. 

Be sure the area is clear of other people before 
mowing. Stop mower if anyone enters the area.

4. 

Always wear protective goggles to protect 
your eyes from injury when using power tools. 
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in 
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New 
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face 
shield to protect your face, too.

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce 
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
