BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GB
E32.
Do not use solvent or cleaning fluids to clean
your machine - use a blunt scraper to remo-
ve gras and dirt. Always disconnect from
the electrical supply betore cleaning.
E33.
Store your machine in a dry place when
not
in use, preferably out of the reach of
children.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
E34.
Your machine is designed for use on a.c.
(mains) electrical supplies only - do not
attempt to use on any other supply. Plug
your machine into a power point - not a light
socket.
E35. DOUBLE INSULATION
Your machine is double insulated. This
means that all external metal parts are
electrically isolated from the power supply.
This is achieved by placing an extra
insulation barrier between the electrical and
mechanical parts. Double insulation means
greater electrical safety and obviates the
necessity of having the machine earthed.
E36.
Always keep the electrical supply cable
away from the blades - be aware of its
position at all times.
E37.
The extension cable should always be
secured firmly on the supporting hook
(situated at the top of the handlebar) to
prevent it from being damaged while the
mower is in use.
E38.
Never carry your machine by the cable or
jerk the cable to separate the connectors.
Keep the cable away from heat sources,
oils or sharp edges. Check the condition of
your cable before use and do not use if
damaged.
E39.
Your machine should always be switched
off at the electrical supply, before
disconnecting any plug and socket
connector, or extension cables.Before
leaving the machine, remove the plug from
the socket.
