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. • Never use the machine in bad weather, for instance in fog, in rain, damp or in wet locations, strong winds, intense cold, risk of lightning, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces. • Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tires can lose their grip so that the machine skids. • 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. • Be careful when you are approaching hidden corners and objects that could block your view. Work safety • A lawn mower is only designed to mow lawns. All other use is forbidden. • Always let someone know you are outside mowing. • Do not operate the mower without proper guards, plates, grass catcher or other safety protective devices in place. • Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the heading "Personal protective equipment". • Do not start a lawn mower unless the cutter and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise the cutter could come loose and cause personal injuries. • Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter dull and bend the engine shaft. A bent blade or engine shaft can result in an imbalance and heavy vibration, which results in a great risk of the blade becoming loose. • The brake handle must never be permanently anchored to the handle when the machine is running. • Place the lawn mower on firm, flat surface and start it. Make sure that the cutter cannot come into contact with the ground or other objects. • Always place yourself behind the machine. Allow all the wheels to remain on the ground and keep both hands on the handle when mowing. Keep your hands and feet away from the rotating blades. • Do not tilt the machine when the engine is running. English - 15
