Avoid mowing of wet grass.
Always make sure that your legs on a slope are fi rmly standing.
Walk, never run.

Be especially careful when changing movement direction on a slope.
Do not mow on overly inclined slopes.
Pay special attention when you are pulling back or pulling the device towards you.
Turn off the drive of the cutting element(s), when the device should be tilted during its moving on surfaces other than grass and
when it is transported to the place of mowing and back.
You should not use the device with damaged covers or casings and without a safety device, eg attached covers and/or grass
containers.
Carefully start the engine as instructed, paying attention, whether the feet are away from the cutting element.
You should not tilt the device when starting the engine, except when it requires tilting during start. In this case, you should not tilt
the device more, than it is necessary and left up to the part, which is away from the operator.
You should not start the device standing in front of the discharge hole. If the device is designed to work only with a grass container,
you should always properly mount the container before starting operation.
Do not keep your hands and feet close to rotating parts. Take care, so that all the time the discharge hole is not clogged. The fi lling
level of the grass container must be constantly monitored to avoid overfi lling the container.
