Keep other people and animals away from the area
whilst using the mower.
NEVER place hands, fingers or other parts of the
body under the skirt unless the mower cannot
start (spark plug cable (a) must be removed from
the spark plug (b); see illustration)! Remember
that the blade takes a few seconds to stop when
the motor is cut off.
Never use the mower if the safety control handles
do not work!
Exercise caution and wear heavy duty gloves when
handling the blade.
Using the mower
For outdoor use only.
IMPORTANT! The mower is supplied with no
motor oil or petrol. Remember to fill up with oil
and petrol before starting the motor!
Always switch off the motor before adjusting the
mower or motor, and before fitting or removing
the grass bag.
Remove all objects from the grass to be cut before
starting to avoid them being thrown up by the
blade. Blade life will be shortened if it hits stones,
roots, toys etc and such objects can cause serious
personal injury if thrown out by the blade.
Never use the mower on uneven surfaces or steep
slopes (incline of over 15%). If the skirt’s ground
clearance is too high the blade can throw out
objects that can cause injury, and when using on
slopes, can cause you to lose control over the
mower.
Avoid cutting wet grass. The grass forms clumps
and can be slippery.
Always ensure good footing when using the mower.
Release the mower if you feel you are falling. The
mower will stop automatically when you release
the clutch handle.
Check you have plenty of room behind you and
that you are not in danger of tripping over before
pulling the mower towards you.
The motor parts become very hot when in use.
Avoid touching them.
Fuel
Never smoke or use naked flame when using the
mower or when fuelling it.
Stop the motor and allow to cool off before
adding fuel.
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation when mixing
and filling fuel.
Store fuel out of the reach of children and in a
clearly marked, approved container.
Wipe off any spilt fuel from the outside of the
motor before starting it.
Never fill the fuel tank right up as the fuel can
expand.
Store the mower well away from sources of heat,
as the fuel or its vapours can be ignited.
Never remove the fuel cap while the motor is
running.
Remember to dispose of residual fuel, oil and used
filters in accordance with local rules.
