8. Do not mow on steep slopes.
9. Be particularly careful when mowing backwards and
pulling the lawnmower towards yourself.
10. Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the motor.
11. Maintain a safe distance as provided by the handle
frame.
12. Do not switch on the motor until your feet are at a safe
distance from the cutter bar.
13. Be careful and do not reach into the rotating cutter bar.
14. Switch the lawnmower off before tilting or transporting it,
e.g. from/to lawn or over paths.
15. Never run over gravel while the motor is running. There is
a risk of being hit by stones!
16. Before lifting or transporting the lawn-mower, switch the
motor off, pull out the safety key and wait until the cutter bar
has come to a standstill.
17. Do not adjust the cutting height until the motor has been
switched off and the cutter bar has come to a standstill.
18. Never open the discharge flap while the motor is running.
19. Before removing the grass catcher, switch the motor off
and wait until the cutter bar has come to a standstill. After
emptying the grass catcher, carefully re-attach it and ensure
that the grass catcher is attached securely to the lawnmower.
20. If possible, do not mow wet grass.
21. Do not work with the garden tool in a potentially explosive
environment in which there are flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
22. When interrupting work, never leave the unit unattended
and keep it in a safe place.
For The Battery Charger
1. Do not place any objects on the battery charger and do
not place the battery charger on soft surfaces.
2. Please read safety instructions for Li-ion batteries. There
is a risk of explosion.
3. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
4. If other batteries are used, e.g. imitations, reconditioned
batteries or third-party products, there is a risk of injuries as
well as damage caused by exploding batteries.
5. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
This may cause an internal short-circuit and the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your main-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work Area Safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2
. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
2.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions
. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
4
. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock
.
5
. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal Safety
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the
risk of injury.
3.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to the power
source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or power tools that have been turned on invites
accidents.
4.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may increase
the risk of injury.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
6.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught by moving parts.
7.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use And Care
1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if it can’t be turned on
and off by its switch.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
