Save these instructions
Work area
• Ensure the area to be mowed is clear and free of debris, rocks, gravel,
garden furniture etc.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
• 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.
• Ensure all animals, children and bystanders are at least 15m away while
operating this lawn mower. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Personal safety
• 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.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
