ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
ROTARY MOWERS
1.
Always disconnect your mower from the power
supply before cleaning, inspecting or adjusting
any part of it, or if the supply cable has become
damaged or entangled.
2.
To protect your feet, always wear stout shoes or
boots. Freshly cut grass is damp and slippery. Do
not mow barefoot or in open sandals.
3.
Always check that your lawn or cutting path is
clear of all sticks, stones, wire or other debris.
Contact with such debris may damage your
mower and could be thrown by the blade.
4.
Wear long trousers to protect your legs from any
debris left on the lawn or cutting path that may
be thrown by the blade.
5.
Do not use your mower in the rain and do not
allow it to get wet. Avoid using the mower in wet
grass if possible.
6.
Before using your mower visually inspect the
blade and rotating parts for damage.
7.
Keep children, animals and other adults at least
6 m (20 ft) away from the cutting area.
8.
Start your mower carefully with feet well away
from the blades.
9.
When the motor is running the safety distance,
given by the handle, must always be maintained.
10.
Do not leave your mower unattended whilst it is
connected to the power supply.
11.
Never allow people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the mower.
12.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring
to other people or their property.
13.
This mower is fitted with a blade brake which
stops the blade from rotating within three
seconds once the switch box lever is released.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
turn your mower over on to its side whilst the
motor is still running, or attempt to stop the
blade, always allow it to stop on its own.
14.
If the blade strikes an object, release the switch
lever at once, disconnect your mower from the
power supply and when the blade is stationary,
turn your mower on to its side and examine the
blade and nut for damage. Repair or replace any
damaged parts before restarting and operating
the mower.
15.
Always disconnect your mower from the power
supply before lifting or carrying.
16.
Stop the blade if the mower has to be tilted up
for transportation when crossing surfaces other
than grass.
17.
Do not tilt the mower when starting the motor.
(The only exception is when the mower will not
start due to long grass, in which case do not tilt it
more than absolutely necessary and lift only the
part which is away from the operator).
18.
Do not pull your mower towards you or walk
backwards when mowing.
19.
Walk, never run.
20.
Always mow across the face of slopes, never up
and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow
excessively steep slopes and always wear non-
slip footwear.
21.
Mow only in daylight.
22.
Never use the mower without the grass box in
place.
23.
Switch the motor off and wait until the blade
comes to a complete stop before removing the
grass box.
24.
Switch the motor off and disconnect from the
power supply, wait until the blade comes to a
complete stop before unclogging the chute.
25.
Switch the motor off and disconnect the power
supply, wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop before making a wheel height adjustment.
26.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times.
27.
If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally
switch the motor off, wait until the blade comes
to a complete stop, disconnect the power supply
and check immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
28.
The cutting edges of the mower blade are sharp
and can lacerate (cut) skin tissue. Care should
be taken when doing any repair work on or
around the mower blade. To prevent injury, it is
recommended that gloves are worn or the
cutting edge of the blade be wrapped with
newspaper or any other suitable material.
29.
Do not use solvent or cleaning fluids to clean
your mower. Use a blunt scraper to remove grass
and dirt. Always disconnect from the power
supply before cleaning.
