■ Inspect the mowing area and look out for
obstacles. If the blade hits a foreign object
when working, the foreign object or parts of it
may be thrown up at high velocity. This may
result in injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Remove foreign objects such as
stones, sticks, wires, toys or other
foreign objects from the working
area. Mark hidden objects that can‐

the blade continues to turn for a short time.
This may result in serious injury to people.
► Wait until the blade is no longer turn‐
ing.

result in serious or fatal injury to people and
damage to property.

face, it may unintentionally roll away. This may
result in injury to people and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Only release the lawn mower if it is on a
level surface and cannot roll away by itself.
■ If objects are attached to the handlebar, the
additional weight may cause the lawn mower
to tip over. This may result in injury to people
and damage to property.
