equipment when barefoot or wearing open shoes.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects such as
stones, toys, sticks and wires, which can be thrown by the machine from the work area.

correctly.
• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
• Avoid operating the equipment in moist or even wet grass, where feasible. Mow only dry
grass. Too long or wet grass leads to blocking and overload the engine. To avoid stirring up
the dust, mow the grass best when it´s is dry, but the soil is still moist. Dust causes the air filter
pollution and this causes higher fuel consumption. Due to lack of maintenance the engine can
be damaged.

• For safety reasons, the machine may not be used as a drive unit for other work tools or tool
kits of any kind.
• On the slopes keep firm footing at all times.
• Walk, never run.
• For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
• Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Danger of injury by overturning machine. Maximum
allowed slope is 15 °.
• Be careful when using the lawnmower near verges, ditches, or banks. Machine can suddenly
turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the lawn mower towards you.
• Stop the blade(s) if the lawn mower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces
other than grass, and when transporting the lawn mower to and from the area to be mowed.
