Personal protective equipment

You must use approved personal protective equipment
whenever you use the machine. Personal protective
equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce
the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your
dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
Always wear:
• Sturdy, non-slip boots or shoes.
• Heavy, long pants. Do not wear shorts, sandals or go
barefoot.
• Gloves must be worn when required, for example when
fitting, inspecting or cleaning cutting attachments.

This section describes basic safety directions for using the
machine. This information is never a substitute for
professional skills and experience.
• Please read the operator's manual carefully and make
sure you understand the instructions before using the
machine.
• Keep in mind that the operator is responsible for accidents
or hazards occuring to other people or their property.
• The machine must be kept clean. Signs and stickers must

Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can
face. Always exercise care and use your common sense. If
you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek
expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an
experienced user. Do not attempt any task that you feel
unsure of!

Work area safety
• Branches, twigs, stones, etc. should be removed from the
lawn before you start to mow.
• Objects hitting against the cutting attachment could be
thrown and cause damage to people and objects. Keep
people and animals well away.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Beware of roots, stones, twigs, pits, ditches etc. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
• Mowing slopes can be dangerous. Do not use the lawn
mower on very steep slopes. The lawn mower should not
be used on inclines greater than 15 degrees.
• On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It is
much easier to work along a slope than it is to work up and
down it.
