Check the site on which you intend to use the hover
mower and remove all objects that may be caught or
thrown up by the mower. Foreign bodies must be removed
before you start mowing. Keep an eye on the power cable
and keep it away from the cutting blade at all times.
• Ensure that you do not push the mower over areas that
might damage or snare the power cable.
• Before you lift the hover mower to transport it, switch off
the motor, disconnect the mains lead and wait until the
cutting head has come to a complete standstill. Ensure the
cutting head is facing away from you.
• Never reach towards rotating parts with your hands
or feet.
• The safety distance from the moving blade produced by
the push handle must be maintained at all times.
• If you use the mower on a small incline, mow across the
slope (not in an up and down direction). Always be sure of
your footing on slopes.
• Be particularly careful when changing direction with the
mower whilst working on a slope.
• Do not use the lawn mower on gradients of over
15 degrees.
• Ensure that you have safe footing at all times whilst
working with the mower.
• Always wear strong, anti-slip footwear and long trousers
when using the mower. Never mow in bare feet or in
open-toed sandals.
• When the mower is running, ensure that no person
or animal, particularly children and pets, are in the
immediate vicinity of the hover mower. Ensure that you
keep everybody at least 10 metres away from the mower
when it is working.
• Switch off the motor and disconnect the plug from the
power supply if the mower strikes a foreign body. Check
the mower for signs of damage and carry out all necessary
repair work, before you start the mower again.
