Lawnmower safety warnings
a) 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.
b) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the lawnmower is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the lawnmower
during operation.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration. A worn or damaged grass catcher may increase the risk of
personal injury.
f)
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is
not functioning correctly may result in personal injury.
g) Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. Blocked air inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of fire.
h) 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.
i)
While operating the lawnmower, always wear long trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown
objects.
j)
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.
k) Do not operate the lawnmower on excessively steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which
may result in personal injury.
l)
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.
m) 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.
n) Do not touch blades and other hazardous moving parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the risk of injury from
moving parts.
o) 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.
p) When clearing jammed material or cleaning the lawnmower, make sure all power switches are off and remove the key.
Unexpected operation of the lawnmower may result in serious personal injury.
