CLEARING BLOCKAGES
■ Stop the motor and remove the power cord
from the supply outlet.
■ Always wear heavy-duty gloves when
checking or clearing a blockage.
■ The blades are sharp and the blockage
itself could be a sharp object.
■ Remove the grass catcher, check for and
carefully clear obstructions.
■ Check the grass discharge chute for
blockages and carefully clear.
■ Turn the mower on its side and check
the underside of the mower and the area
around the blade. If any blockages are
found, remove carefully. Remember the
blade may move during cleaning.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed,
it is still impossible to completely eliminate
certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
■ injury caused by vibration
● Always use the right tool for the job. Use
designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
■ injury caused by noise
● Exposure to noise can cause hearing
injury. Wear ear protection and limit
exposure.
■ injury from contact with the blades
■ injury caused by thrown objects
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from
handheld tools may contribute to a condition
called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of
the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure
to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold
and dampness, diet, smoking and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms. There are
measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the unit wear gloves to
keep the hands and wrists warm. It is
reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the
amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and
see your physician.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take
regular breaks.
