3. Personal safety  
General safety rules  
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use  
common sense when operating a power tool. Do  
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the  
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of  
inattention while operating power tools may result in  
serious personal injury.  
WARNING. Read all instructions. Failure to follow all  
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire  
and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the  
warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded)  
power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.  
Save these instructions  
1. Work area  
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid  
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark  
areas invite accidents.  
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive  
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable  
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which  
may ignite the dust or fumes.  
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the  
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with  
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that  
have the switch on invites accidents.  
c. Keep children and bystanders away while  
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to  
lose control.  
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning  
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to  
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal  
injury.  
2. Electrical safety  
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify  
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with  
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and  
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at  
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in  
unexpected situations.  
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or  
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from  
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be  
caught in moving parts.  
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock  
if your body is earthed or grounded.  
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust  
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are  
connected and properly used. Use of these devices  
can reduce dust related hazards.  
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for  
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.  
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving  
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
4. Power tool use and care  
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool  
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job  
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.  
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn  
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord  
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

prevent overheating and loss of mower efficiency. When  
tidying away the cable, wind it carefully to avoid kinking.  
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before  
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or  
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures  
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
WARNING. After switching off the machine, the cutting  
blade continues to rotate for a few more seconds.  
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and  
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool  
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power  
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
Frequently inspect the condition of the cutting blades.  
Damaged blades must be replaced immediately. Blunt  
blades should be sharpened. Follow all the required  
precautions when replacing the blades.  
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and  
any other condition that may affect the power tools  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained power tools.  
Before use check the supply and extension cord  
for signs of damage or ageing. If the cord becomes  
damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the  
supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD  
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE SUPPLY.  
Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged or  
worn.  
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less  
likely to bind and are easier to control.  
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the  
controls and proper use of the equipment.  
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,  
in accordance with these instructions and in the  
manner intended for the particular type of power  
tool, taking into account the working conditions and  
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for  
operations different from those intended could result in a  
hazardous situation.  
Keep extension cord away from cutting blades.  
Wear eye and ear protection. Wear dust protection if the  
mowing action causes the raising of dust or particles.  
Wear long trousers.  
Never allow children, infirm people or people unfamiliar  
with these instructions to use the rotary collect mower.  
Avoid using the mower, while people, especially  
children and the infirm, or pets are nearby.  
5. Service  
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
person using only identical replacement parts. This  
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.  
Use the mower only in daylight or good artificial light.  
Do not operate the mower unless the grass box is in  
place.  
Additional safety rules for lawn mowers  
Only use this Lawn Mower when a Residual Current  
Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than  
30mA is in the circuit.  
Never operate the mower with a damaged base.  
Never operate the appliance with defective guards  
or shields, or without safety devices, for example  
deflectors and/or grass catcher, in place.  
If an extension cord is used make sure it is for outdoor  
use and marked as such. The recommended size of  
extension cord is not lighter than 1.5mm2 at 30 metres  
in length or 1.0mm2 at 20 metres in length.  
When starting up and when the machine is in operation,  
keep the cutting section away from all parts of the body,  
especially the hands and feet.
