IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING (THIS POWER
TOOL)
WARNING
Read and
understand all instructions before using
this product. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference:
1) Work area safety
a) To avoid bystander contact with the
moving blade or a thrown object injury,
keep the area of operation clear of all
bystanders, particularly small children.
Stop the lawnmower and any attachment(s)
if anyone enters the area.
Contact with the
moving blade or thrown objects may result in
serious personal injury or death.
b) Only operate the lawnmower in daylight
or good artificial light.
Dark areas invite
accidents.
c) Do not operate lawnmowers in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of fammable liquids, gases or
dust.
Lawnmowers create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
d) Do not use the lawnmower in bad
weather conditions, especially when there
is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk
of being struck by lightning.
e) Thoroughly inspect the area where the
lawnmower is to be used and remove all
stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other
foreign objects.
Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
2) Electrical safety
a) Do not expose the lawnmower to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a lawnmower
may increase the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment will reduce personal injuries.
b) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
c) While operating the lawnmower, always
wear long trousers.
Exposed skin increases
the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
d) While operating the lawnmower, always
wear non-slip and protective footwear.
Do
not operate the lawnmower when barefoot
or wearing open sandals. This reduces the
chance of injury to the feet from contact with
the moving blade
e) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
batteries, picking up or carrying the
lawnmower.
Carrying a lawnmower with
lawnmower that has the switch on invites
accidents.
f
) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the lawnmower on.
A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the lawnmower may result in personal
injury.
g) Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the
lawnmower in unexpected situations.
h) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a lawnmower
. Do not use a lawnmower
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating a lawnmower may
result in serious personal injury.
i) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of lawnmower allow you
to become complacent and ignore
lawnmower safety principles.
A careless
action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
j) To avoid operator blade contact or a
thrown object injury, stay in the operator
zone behind the lawnmower handles.
Blade contact or thrown objects may result in
serious personal injury
k) Do not touch blades and other
hazardous moving parts while they are
still in motion.
This reduces the risk of injury
from moving parts.
