3. Thoroughly inspect the area where the lawn-
mower is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects.
Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
4. Before using the lawnmower, always visually
inspect to see that the blade and the blade
assembly are not worn or damaged. Worn or
damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration. A worn or damaged grass catcher
may increase the risk of personal injury.
6. Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
ing order and be properly mounted. A guard
that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning cor-
rectly may result in personal injury.
Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
7.
Blocked air inlets and debris may result in over-
heating or risk of fire.
8. While operating the lawnmower, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Do not oper-
ate the lawnmower when barefoot or wearing
open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury
to the feet from contact with the moving blade.
While operating the lawnmower, always wear
9.
long trousers. Exposed skin increases the likeli-
hood of injury from thrown objects.
10. Do not operate the lawnmower in wet grass.
Walk, never run. This reduces the risk of slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
Do not operate the lawnmower on excessively
11.
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
12. When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face
of slopes, never up or down and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
13. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling
the lawnmower towards you. Always be aware
of your surroundings. This reduces the risk of
tripping during operation.
14. Do not touch blades and other hazardous
moving parts while they are still in motion. This
reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
15. When clearing jammed material or cleaning
the lawnmower, make sure all power switches
are off and the battery pack is disconnected.
Unexpected operation of the lawnmower may
result in serious personal injury.
