Personal Safety - TRAPP MB 51E Manual De Instrucciones

2 - Personal safety

Dress properly - Do not wear loose clothes or
 
jewelry as they may get stuck in the movable parts
of the equipment.
Whenever cutting the grass, always wear pants and
 
resistant shoes.
Wear protection equipment. Always wear
 
goggles. Wearing protection equipment like gloves,
shoes, and ear plugs increases your protection and
reduces the risk of an accident.
Do not operate the equipment barefoot or with
 
sandals.
Do not be self-confident - Keep both feet on the
 
ground to keep balance.
Beware of what is going on and use common
 
sense when operating the equipment. Do not
use it when you are tired, distracted or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medicine. A slight
distraction may result in a serious injury.
Keep feet and hands away from the cutting
 
area.
Do not leave hands or feet near or under moving
 
parts. With rotary grass mowers, always keep
yourself away from discharge opening.
Walk; do not run.
 
Note:
According to the Brazilian standard
NBR 5410, is mandatory the installation of a
residual current device (RCD), when fed by a
disarming current not exceeding 30 mA. The
function of the Residual Current Device (RCD)
is to protect the user against the serious risks of
electric shock (consult an electrician).
3 - Use and care
Check whether the lawn mower tension is the
 
same of the supply voltage.
Maintain the grass mower in good condition,
 
never exposing it to rain or humidity - When you
are not using the equipment, keep it in a dry place,
protected from bad weather. Water and humidity
can damage the electric circuits of the engine.
48
If the power supply cord is damaged, it shall be
 
replaced by the manufacturer, authorized agent or
qualified technician to prevent risks.
Before using the lawn mower, check whether
 
the cutting blade is fixed. Visually inspect the
blade for damage or dullness. Replace the blade and
damaged or worn out screws to maintain balance. In
case the blade needs sharpening, sharpen both sides
to avoid unbalance.
For the safety of the operator and of the equipment,
 
replace worn/damaged parts.
Use the equipment correctly - Do not use
 
the grass mower for any purpose other than that
specified for it.
Take care of your grass mower - Keep the cutting
 
blade sharp and clean to obtain good and safe
performance.
With rotary grass mowers, make sure to use spare
 
cutting means of the right type only.
Never put the equipment away with gasoline in
 
the tank. If necessary, keep the engine running until
it turns off due to lack of gasoline.
Keep safety devices in adequate places and in
 
usage conditions.
Do not exceed 15° slope (fifteen degrees) for
 
operation in continuous use and maximum 30°
(thirty degrees) for possible operations.
Do not tilt the product when turning the motor on
 
unless it has to be tilted to start. In that case, do not
tilt more than necessary and only lift the part that
is away from the operator. Make sure both hands
are in operation position before placing the product
back on the floor.
Do not turn the machine on its side or upside down,
 
so as to avoid oil entering into the air filter and
carburetor.
Do not overuse the equipment. Use it in the right
 
way and for the purposes described in this manual
for better performance and safety while working.
Do not allow people that are not familiarized
 
with the equipment to use it. The equipment
may become dangerous on the hands of people not
familiar with its operation.
Use the equipment during daylight or under good
 
illumination only.
Move transversely to slopes and small elevations;
 
never move up and down.
