Safety instructions for hand-operated lawn mowers
Note
• Read the directions with due care. Familiarize yourself with the settings and proper operation of
the machine.
• Never allow children or other persons who are not familiar with the operating instructions to use the
mower. Contact your local governmental agency for information regarding minimum age require-
ments for operating the mower.
• Never mow in the direct vicinity of persons - especially children - or animals. Always keep in mind
that the operator is responsible for accidents involving other persons and/or their property.
• If you give the equipment to any other person, give them these operating instructions as well.
• Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers when mowing. Never mow barefoot or in
sandals.
• Check the grounds on which the machine will be used and remove all objects that could be caught
up and violently flung out of the chute.(Like stones, toys, sticks and wires etc.)
m WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable! Therefore:
• Only store petrol in containers designed to hold petroleum-based liquids.
• Only refuel out in the open and do not smoke during the refuelling process.
• Always refuel the lawn mower before starting the engine. Always ensure that the fuel tank cap is
closed when the engine is running and when the mower is hot; also do not refuel.
• If petrol has overflowed, do not under any circumstances attempt to start the engine. Instead,
remove the machine from the affected area. Avoid starting the engine until the petrol fumes have
completely evaporated.
• For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other tank closures must be replaced if they are damaged.
• Never store petrol near a source of sparks. Always use a tested canister. Keep petrol away from chil-
dren.
• Replace defective mufflers.
• Before using the mower, visually inspect it to ensure that the blade, mounting bolts and the entire
cutting apparatus are in good working order (i.e. not worn out or damaged). To prevent any imbal-
ance, replace worn out or damaged blades and mounting bolts as a set only (if applicable).
• Please note that where a mower has more than one blade, the rotation of one of the blades can
cause the others to rotate as well.
Handling
• Do not let the combustion engine run in enclosed areas, as dangerous carbon monoxide gas can
build up.
• Only mow in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions. Avoid using the machine on wet grass as far
as possible.
