cutting blade should rotate approximately parallel to the
ground over which it is being wheeled. All four wheels
should touch the ground while mowing. It is a pedestrian-
controlled walk-behind mower.
The mower should never be operated with the wheels off
the ground, it should not be pulled or ridden on. It should
not be used to cut anything other than domestic grass
lawns.
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.
■
Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear
protection and limit exposure.
■
Contact with blades
■
Injury from thrown objects
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the
fi
ngers, 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. These 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.
■
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 doctor about
these symptoms.
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.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt
to use this product until you read thoroughly and
understood completely the operator’s manual. If you
do not understand the warnings and instructions in the
operator’s manual, do not use this product. Call the
authorised service centre for assistance.
