ELECTRICITY CAN KILL - NEVER WORK ON LIVE/ENERGISED EQUIPMENT.
DANGER!
• Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST identify electrical isolation methods and
isolate all electrical supplies.
• Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated, you MUST check all electrical cables, plugs
and connectors for the following;
- Are intact and have no signs of damage, to include but not limited to bare wires, chaffing, cuts
and loose wiring.
- If there are any signs of damage, the damaged item MUST be taken out of service until the
damage has been repaired by an electrically competent person.
- All trailing cables should be routed so as not to cause any kind of trip hazard.
- NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet clothing and wet gloves.
• Power tools plug 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 risk of electric shock.
• DO NOT expose this power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating
a power tool, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure that the electric circuit is fused, and that the power, voltage and
frequency of the motor is supported by your mains supply. Also, make sure that your power
supply is earthed. Connect your lawnmower to earth. Never open the ON/OFF switchbox.
However, if it should become necessary to do so, contact a qualified electrician. Make sure that
you will never touch live contacts, specifically when you plug or unplug your lawnmower.
This machine and its power cord must never get into contact with water.
• Never use its power cord to move/shift your lawnmower. Always unplug the power cord before
handling your lawnmower. Do not pull the plug out of the wall socket by the cable and protect the
latter against heat sources, oil and objects which can damage it.
• 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.
